@ ferhyntoriah, lovely hair. I can't believe it's all yours. It's pretty. Can't wait for when I can braid my hair without extensions.

@ Ferhyntorlah, my hair is natural. I'm 4 and a half months post BC(big chop). I already do most of what you wrote except the relaxing. It's high maintenance but I love how soft and wonderful my hair feels.

Well, dat's good to know. I can tell u ar a DIY person.

@ferhyntorlah, nice hair. Natural hair is beautiful.

I am not sure that I agree.

^^^^

Good luck!

Growing hair is like anything in life. Put in effort and you'll get good results. As long as you eat well and give your hair what it needs (protein, moisture, and not too much heat), you're good to go really. Good luck to everyone

Thank you

I also need to see if my babe's hair can be longer than yours, hers is about her shoulders and the hair texture is just too thin, she complains of breakage and is trying to quit the hair task i gave her but i am just too stubborn, GAVE her series of warnings lol (jokes sha)

Told her no more laughing, we spoke for close to 2 hours on the phone and i only laughed twice, she noticed it and knew i was serious, she kept asking me why i didn't laugh much for 2 hours, just told her "when i am serious, i want to be taken serious" fear catch her (i ain't idi-amin o)

LOL! Fine hair breaks easily sha. She shouldn't manipulate it too much or load it with heavy products really because that would make it worse. She should use protein or reconstructive treatments then follow it up with a light moisturizer. That should work.

Which hair task did you give her by the way? lol

^^^

  Well i told her no one wigs/weaves and all that, i told her to go back to braiding, she's complaining about having small head lol

That's what i told her, NO MORE WEAVES, i call attachments "horsetail"

Lol. She doesn't need any of them really, especially with fine hair. Most weavers and braiders braid the hair extremely tight. So, unless she's instructing them not to do so tightly, her hair is probably suffering I do hope not though.

That i can't say, but who knows.

lol, nope, na agbo jedi i dey sell

Please i am working and schooling at the same time and may not have time for all d strict regimes how can i grow my nape length hair longer. Heeellllp

Thanks iice. i have my hair in kinky braids now. does moisturize mean using oil on my scalp or lotions cos m kinda confuse
PS if you or any other person are in naijo could u recommend goos hair products.

you are not razz arall . now to search for coconut oil for its professed wonders. any idea where i can get that in lagos?

Woooohoooo!!!!! Just the post I was looking for! Sorry for the excitement but mehn since I moved back to Nigeria last year, whenever I talk about hair people look at me like I'm an alien. Its nice to see a fellow hairlista on board. Growing my hair this last year has been tedious but I am making progress. I even started a blog last month to document my progress and help my fellow Naijalistas out.

Please oh black hair does grow and I can testify to it. Just visit my blog: www.blackbeautyfanatic.com . I have been growing my hair for close to 3 years and have succeeded!

Now that I've gotten that excitement off my chest. Please Please, does anyone know where to get good hair products in Lagos? The stores here have been killing me.

THeBFF i can feel your excitement. I'm just wondering if it's possible to work an grow your hair because all the washing and mositurizing stuffs when you work late and rise early does not seem feasible to me. PS i'm hitting your blog right now

KushKush, I understand what you mean. Having the time to do these things can be hard especially when your are first starting out. I work as well and I still find time to wash my hair at least once a week. When I first started growing my hair I was a bit over zealous, I did my hair almost 3 times a week. (I wasn't working, I was in school then).

But now that I work, and with Lagos traffic and all I find focusing on my hair once a week is enough. The truth is, yes you can grow your hair with a busy schedule you just have to incorporate it into your routine. For instance moisturizing you hair every night before you go to bed will only take you 5 minutes. the same goes for if you choose to moisturize in the morning. Moisturizing my hair has become second nature to me now. Its a habit like brushing my teeth.

If you find that you really don't have time to deal with your hair on a weekly basis. Put it in a protective style like braids, ghana weaving, or a weave. But make sure when you do this you still moisturize your hair at least every 3-5 days. Find a good leave in spray and moisturize. Also make sure whenever you wash your hair you deep condition.
