What if it's the boyfriend that infected her?

Lmao. I'm waiting for Edo agberos to implement their uniform also. That would be a sight to behold.

When person dey stay around people, e no get how people no go talk. The only thing one can do is to limit the information fodder they can use... but then that still may not stop them from making wild claims, especially if you're a very distant person.



I was thinking about it today. It's crazy how most beauty standards or practices are synonymous to pain. And it felt so fking weird putting up with all of that when I was younger. Especially with that kiko hairstyle. Omo.

Never again sha... any thing I have to put or wear on my body that would cause me significant discomfort, and if it is something I can voluntarily do without, count me out, please.

Don't you know that Beauty is pain!

Why do you think Beyoncé sang "Pretty Hurts".

Make I go read my book abeg.

pocohantas:
Yesso. After all, lemon/lime juice is a key ingredient in mayonnaise. They are not dumb after all.

Na true sha.

I don't like the runny texture though. I love my salad cream THICK. and I always have to pay for extra scoop of cream.

pocohantas:
Some restaurants mix their mayonnaise with sprite for commercial use.

Yes, this sprite.

Are you serious?

This country nor go kill me.

Now this explains the reason why the salad I buy in school taste off EVERY TIME and the salad cream is thin and runny. !!!!!!!!!

Ah ah ah ah.. This reminds me of the day i relaxed my hair with mega growth after covering it with beret for a long time. I cried that day no be small. Mama wey i follow go salon self shock "So something fit collect tears from Dee eyes? incredible!" My big sister's comment when she got the gist. . I cried ooo. Hain! Ever Since ehn i either relax my hair very early in the morning or very late in the evening or i just forget. And i make sure i don't cover the hair at all. I changed the relaxer too.


I don't know self... i no too dey learn quick

Chaiìi. I can't even relate to the relaxer stuff (Team Natural Hair here ).
But I can really imagine the discomfort you must have been th rough.

Magnoliaa:
Kai. I don't want to imagine this . And they are fond of calling their husbands My Oga. I don't know if it's a thing with them.

"Your Oga don come back?"

"No o. Na my Oga buy that decoder come home sef. Hin don leave that him yeye boss."

Gbammmm! You sabi them wella.

My current hairdresser calls her husband Chairman and her fellow colleagues call her "Madam Chairman".

Kai. The woman dey gist like kilode ehnnn. The day I made hair that took up to 5hrs, and it was already evening, her husband called and was asking about her whereabouts, she come say na the hair delay her. She give me phone make I talk to her husband,I told him to forgive me for delaying his precious wife.

Persephone1:
That pulling of hair ehn, i remember some years back i went to this "egbe ile" salon. This woman made the hair so hard that i felt like she was using pin on my head. Come and see fight that day Me wey no dey talk voice out. Woman self no too dey happy mood, come talk back. She was like" how would you want me to hold your hair than this?" . Last last no one told me before i talk say i no do again and left.

Although i feel i was just being extra sensitive that day sha because i tried her again, i didn't feel the way i felt the other time. I no dey learn i know

Ahhhh. I will just burst into hot uncontrollably tears if I'm the one oh. You try.

You sef, you nor dey learn from the first time. If na me, she nor go see my brakelight again.

Magnoliaa:
It's the rules for me o. Is that 10hrs+ I am seeing for braids length reaching the bra?? Omo. Watin dem wan dey plait?

Omooo. The rules shock me too.

The highest I can sit for hair is 4-5hrs.

Klass99:
Sorry FK I'm just seeing this. It's the trenches braids of 5k for me ooo, because of my skilled hair stylist from Cotonou (Bukky) even though she claims she's from Badagary.

That something costs a lot of money doesn't necessarily mean it is fine or it is the next best thing after sanitary towels and that has been my experience when it comes to braiding.

I have made my hair at some of these expensive hair salons that charge an arm and a leg and I didn't like the outcome/end result. I always end up going back to my ghetto stylist, who does a fantastic job and charges very affordable rates.

One time she made pick and drop braids for me, I entered Balogun market to shop, a mother and daughter admired the hair so much, they followed me to get her phone number. The mother said she saw me since and was trying to catch up with me, without shouting or losing sight of me in that market crowd. Bukky is that good!

Another time it was a tom-boyish colleague at work (Susan) who saw the bob-marley braids Bukky made for me and asked for her number. It was on a Thursday, Susan braided with Bukky over the weekend, on Monday our male colleagues were clapping at Susan's transformation and beauty.

The colour of Xpression Bukky chose was just right for Susan's complexion, the style and packing was on point too. Bukky is blessed and skilled when it comes to hair styling and I love that she tries to keep things neat and tidy in her salon.

Such a detailed explanation.

Seven blessings to Bukky!!!

Klass99:
Catch your fun abeg it will help you de-stress.

I saw a YouTube short that brought you and Noliaa to mind, laff been wan finish me.

You ladies need to see it, it was a GenZ at her best, giving correct attitude even I couldn't argue with

If I see it again I will share and call your attention to it. The theme is similar to the video Coco shared but damn........this girl had the attitude to match her words and the email she sent her boss.

Thank you very much Klass.

Loool when you see it again, please share. Make I see if we get the same attitude as comrade in arms.

pocohantas:
Yea. You really need to guide them on anything bougee. Sha no try do installation with them. They will use top bond to hold your frontals.

Yes. They need serious guidance.

Lmao. I nor bold give them for wig installation oh. Heiiiii gawd.

Magnoliaa:




Apparently. Some are even costlier than thar . It's the place and other jaras you're buying, I guess.

Someone mentioned hearing gossip in classy salons, LMAO. Shey na for streets gossip no boku? The fighting husband and wife; the one that dropped out of school because of pregnancy; NEPA palava. Your ears go too full.

Gossips are everywhere abeg. Both trenches and premium hair salons.

I like their gossips sha.

The woman that did my hair once for me, she was gisting with another lady how her husband use to handle her in bed, or gossip about her neighbour.
I'm never bored.

Klass99:
Is this girl not writing exams again? Abi Bar exam don finish Folake?

I dey write exams oh.

We did Property Law today.

I'm using NL to take small break from reading.
My head wan burst.

pocohantas:
It depends. I actually do agree that braids from premium places have this extra finesse. It is not just about the braids, but the before and after hair treatment. Most of the trenches braiders do not know anything about protective styling. They just grip your edges and leave you with heavy headache and chop-chop-hair.

They are good, but they need a lot of guidance.

I made my hair for N800. Though I paid her N2000 out of my own benevolence.

Spot on!!! The premium hair salons are very good for pre and post hair treatment. And also the finesse.

Lmao. The trenches hairdressers really dey give person headache especially if your scalp is soft and they pull the hair.

There are also others that are REALLY good and can handle hair well using those treatments. I tell them what to do for my hair.

Hair for 800? Na braids? If na braids,give me your plug.

Magnoliaa:
LMAOOO. E reach to ask. The way you asked this cracked me up.

Trenches literally mean the streets. So trenches braids, those your average, everyday hairdressers. Mummy X, Iya B.

Abi Folake? Is it the same meaning, 'coz yours is different from mine?

Lol na the same meaning oh.

Farfalla:
Well, whenever I opt to do braids, I prefer to have the braider come over to my place. The particular lady that does my braids is extremely neat. I met her through my SIL.

Of course I don't pay her the 'trenches' rates (commonly known as salun ya mtaa in my country), neither do I pay her the ajebutter rates, but I give her enough to motivate her to leave the trenches and come over to my place.

That is nice. Home service is also cool.

Ishilove:
Dakun, what is trenches braids?

2-5k braids.

cococandy:
Those trenches people have to be the winners

There might be a few exceptions but I want to believe that in general those experienced folks that have been doing it for years in one offsite shack carry the braiding industry.

I thought you'd prefer the posh and classy hair stylists.

The trenches hairdressers are the best sha. Some people sleep on their abilities though.

Persephone1:
As ghetto babe wey i be, and being fortunate to enter high class salon once I believe ghetto people sabi braids pass . They sabi hold person destiny join hair

Lmao . It is true, all those hairdressers sabi work finish, na just the pulling of hair be the problem.

Pocohantas made mention of braids yesterday and somehow I stumbled on this thread on Twitter today.

https://twitter.com/Dlaureate/status/1564326943088074752?t=bj76Arzm27HOH1obNVyKNw&s=19

Are trenches braids of 5k better than 25k braids? Do you like paying 25k for braids just for the comfort/ AC enjoyment etc?

Ladies,I need your answer.

This should be fun.
