Smh, I'm still in shock over Bawomolo's death. As I'm writing this, my eyes are full of tears. Bawomolo was by far one of the most intriguing people that I have met here on Nairaland. I wish I had had enough time to have gotten to know him better. All I can do right now is ask myself "Why?" How could someone be so heartless? Initially when I read the title of this thread I was somewhat confused. I thought that Bawomolo had done something and everyone was praising him--then I clicked on the thread and quickly realized that it was not what I had in mind. It was something that I would never wish onto anyone. Tears began to roll down my cheeks as I read the article(s) and learned more details. It took me a few minutes to get myself together. I honestly wish this was just bad dream or a sick joke--but unfortunately, it isn't. I wish I could wake up right now and just shrug this nightmare away. This was a senseless act of violence but what hurts me even more is the fact that no one has come forward to say what they saw or heard. I know that people are afraid [given "Stop Snitchin' "thing that went around a couple of years ago in the US] but how can they really sit there are leave someone to die and a family to mourn like this?!?!?! What if it where their child? What if it were their family members? Bawonolo was intelligent and mature beyond his years. Its a shame that he was gunned down at such a young age. I can only imagine what his family must be going threw. You hear about things like this but when it hits close to home like this, it really hurts. Brother Olubusayo Awomolo, may your soul rest in peace. You will forever be missed My condolences to the Awomolo family. |

Ujujoan:Eh ya, sorry to hear about your hair problem. At the end of the day, all that matter is what you know is good for you. Their not the ones who's hair is causing them discomfort, you are. There was a time when I used to worry about what people thought about my hair but as I got older, I realized that what mattered was what I thought and everyone else's opinion was either secondary or irrelevant.

lol, stuff like that cracks me up. When my mom would complain about my hair I'd just say to her "Is it your head? At what point in time did we starting sharing a head? When we join heads then perhaps you can have some say about what I do to my hair  ". Eventually she got over it [I think]. When my sister cut her hair, her friends yelled at her. The weird thing is that she didn't even cut much of it off, it still looked the same to me. |

Besides, I doubt that anyone notice that I was gone. I try to drop by every once in a while to post comments.

Hehehe, I remember when I grew my natural hair to BSL and I was so proud of myself. I look forward to getting back to BSL. What did your friends and family say when you cut your hair?

sexylogan:Lmao yes, this is where I've been. I haven't abandoned the romance section. It's a lot calmer here in the fashion section than in the romance section. Besides, I doubt that anyone really noticed that I was gone. Every once in a while, I post comment on some stuff on the romance section but for the most part I've been here. Oya, stop crying. My dear sexylogan I'll try and post more often in the romance section but I can't guarantee anything though @WAViven: Thanks for posting the tips and remedies. Another thing that is good for digestion is aloe vera. I believe madlady provided and link and some pics on how to make tea with aloe vera. Another thing that's good for digestion is drinking apple cider vinegar. Here's are some recipes for various digestive remedies. Apple Cider Vinegar Recipe: Apple cider vinegar Mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar in a glass of water and sip slowly during meals. Add some honey for flavor if you don't like the taste. Rhubarb Recipe: Rhubarb has been used for centuries to improve digestion and appetite. Make a tea by bringing a cup of water to a boil then adding 1 2/3 teaspoons of cut dried rootstock; simmer for 3 minutes; remove to steep, covered for half an hour; drink only 1/4 to 1/2 cup. If you get diarrhea, decrease the dosage, as too much rhubarb can cause diarrhea, or, if you get constipated, increase the dosage. This may seem odd, but rhubarb is used for constipation and diarrhea, but in different doses. Another apple cider vinegar I have doubles as a digestive drink and a facial toner. Toner #1: Use one teaspoon of cider vinegar and two tablespoons of water. Toner #2: Use one part apple cider vinegar to three parts witch hazel or rosewater for a gentle toner suitable for all skin types. Toner #3: 1 cup water (rain, distilled, or spring) 1 heaping tablespoon dried Peppermint or Sage leaves (or 1/4 cup fresh) 3 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar (if skin is oily use 2 more teaspoons) To make an infusion of the peppermint or sage leaves, heat water until boiling. Remove from heat and add herbs. Cover and steep for 20 minutes. Strain out plant material. Add vinegar and stir well. Pour into a clean bottle and label. Shake well to ensure the mix. Store in refrigerator for best results and use within 3 weeks. Use toner after cleansing. **[/b]If you intend to use the recipe as a facial toner, use a cotton pad to apply the toner to your facial area. [b]**[/b]Also, if you want to use the recipes as facial toner add a drop or two of lavender or tea tree essential oil to your toner to fight against blemishes and bacteria. [b]Do not add essential oils to the recipes if you intend on using it as a digestive drink. |

meskodo:Hmmm although I have natural hair, my knowledge of locs is somewhat limited. I will speak to my hair stylist at the natural hair salon I go to so I can get more info on locing hair. She [my hair stylist] used to have locs, [she just cut them a few months ago] so she should know a lot more than I do about it. I I have found some videos online and will ask some friends for some more info on how I can help you . If you don't mind me asking, where do you currently reside? Here's some videos that might provide a bit more info. I may seem a bit redundant though since the stuff in the video was stuff I already said >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XY_VdHtqzM and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZX4_wTJVag . Here are also some links that you can use http://www.howtodread.com/ , http://www.perfectdreadlocks.com/methods.html , http://www.dreadheadhq.com/make_dreadlocks_preparing_index.php , http://www.mynhcg.com/all-about-locked-hair.html . Oh and by there's a link I found online about a year ago when while I was browsing some info on some people's natural hair journey. The guy in the link has locs as well and he shows the products he uses to maintain and care for his locs>>> http://members.fotki.com/SpiceIslandPrince/about/ . I've browsed his link before so I thought it might useful to you. I'll keep you posted when I get more info. Sorry, I didn't mean to bombard you with all this info, hope it helps though. |

For those of you in Naija, I just saw something on my news feed on Facebook about Nibi. She is the woman who hosts natural hair workshops in Nigeria. I mentioned her previously in SA Goddess' thread >>> https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-510489.256.html . While looking through my news feed, I noticed that another that there is an event that will be going on over the weekend in Lagos. I'll post the info here on the thread for anyone who is interested in attending the event. The event will be at the Sunday Souk at Bogobiri, SW Ikoyi between 12-6pm. For those of you who attend the event, I hope you have fun. Make sure you come back and share with us how the event went .

Ohhh, interesting thread. I'll chime in when it heats up a bit. @OP: You have a point though. If I may ask, is this topic limited to just Nigerian based designers because I know a couple of African designers here in the US who use their names. Its quite marketable here in New York given the fact that African fashion week has passed and African prints were the "in thing" over the summer. Anyway, I'll chime in a bit more when I see some more response. |

Ejadamen:lol, I don't mind trying out the okra recipe in my hair. For some time, I've been looking for people who have tried the recipe but so far, the people I have come in contact with are either too scared to try it or don't like the idea of putting okra in their hair. My only problem with the recipe is that I doubt that the slime from the okra would be thick enough to hold my hair. I'd be better off eating it rater than putting in my hair. iice:I keep forgetting that avocado is also called pear in Nigeria. Hope you enjoy the recipe. How long is your hair by the way? Are you natural? If so, how long? Hehehe, sorry for all the questions .Random question to all: Hmmm, am I the only one who doesn't mind eating okra raw? |

Ejadamen:Awww, sorry. I don't usually try food related recipes in my hair. I usually end up eating the stuff instead of putting it in my hair . I've never heard of the avocado, pear, and mayonnaise but I've heard of avocado and mayonnaise. Why don't you give it a try and see what happens?

Ejadamen:Setting lotion is basically just a heavy-duty gel, it's thick and creamy and has the best hold for curls. I personally, haven't tried this recipe so I'm not sure how it will be on hair or whether or not it will have a hold similar to commercial setting lotions. |

It depends on what kind of locs you want to grow. Once you've decided on the sort of locs you want to grow, then you can figure out the method you will use to grow and loc your hair. When considering locing your hair, there are so many options to consider. Some believe that "real" locs must be created using comb coils. Others think any form of cultivation creates "beauty locs" that take away from the spiritual element of locing. No matter where you stand on the socio-political spectrum, all locs have one thing in common - they are formed from matted hair. Beautiful, glorious, and majestic, but matted hair nonetheless. Determine how you will initiate and grow your locs depending on your lifestyle, preferences and personal tastes. Here are some methods of locing hair: Organic Locs Organic locs are formed as the name implies - organically. The hair is washed regularly, but not combed, allowing the hair to mat with no interference. This typically results in thick locs of different shapes and sizes - these are the locs most often associated with Rastafarians. REMINDER: Just because its associated with Rastafarianism doesn't mean its a bad thing. I know there are still some people who don't have full of proper knowledge of what Rastafariansism is about. Freeform Locs Freeform locs are similar to organic locs in that they aren't "tightened" or "maintained." However, freeform locs are cultivated to a degree, as the hair is separated (not parted, just pulled apart in "chunks" into fairly uniform sections after washing. There is no parting, palm rolling, twisting, or latching.Cultivated Locs Cultivated locs are formed using various methods. What sets them apart from organic locs and freeform locs is that they are parted into sections of about equal size and regularly maintained, using one of several methods to tighten the new growth. Cultivated locs are usually relatively neat and uniform in appearance. Types of cultivated locs include: Traditional locs BradeLocz Nappy Locs Sisterlocks And others. Traditional Locs Traditional locs are typically started with one or more inches of natural hair, using comb coils to establish the initial pattern. The hair is parted into small sections, and the natural coil of the hair is used to create the coils. This method works best on hair with a pronounced, relatively tight coil pattern. Comb coils unravel relatively easily, especially when shampooing, swimming, or exercising frequently. BradeLocz BradeLocz is a method of locing the hair created by Cherie King that uses simple box braids, parted in small sections, to start the locs. This method is great for people with active lifestyles or with a looser curl pattern, as the braids are not as prone to unravelling. BradeLocz are usually maintained using a latch hook. Nappy Locs Nappy Locs are created using the Nappy Locs tool to intertwine the hair and create locs without products. Nappy Locs are also less prone to unravelling. SisterLocks SisterLocks are created using a patented method of intertwining the hair, created by Dr. Joanne Cornwell. They are created and maintained using a tool, and are most popular for their small size and versatility. SisterLocks should be started and maintained by a trained consultant. Other Types of Cultivated Locs As locs have gained popularity, many new methods of starting and maintaining locs have appeared. Keep an eye out for new types of locs that may fit your lifestyle. 1 Like |

Ejadamen:All the ingredients are moisturizing. In the case of the olive oil, it has both conditioning and moisturizing properties. Ejadman, here is a recipe especially for you. I know some of the ingredients for the recipes I provide may not me available so I have a recipe here just for you. I have yet to try this recipe though, so if you try it and don't like it, then I'm sorry  I hope you enjoy it. If you do, could you please come back and give us ladies here a review/critique of the recipe Setting Lotion Recipe: 1. Slice 2 to 4 Okra [you can add more okra based on the amount of hair you have or what you need] 2. Add the Okra to 150ml of boiling water [you may also need to add some more water depending on how much okra you decide to use] 3. Let the mixture boil up really good 4. Turn off the heat once boiled 5. Leave it to cool until it forms a slimy and gelatinous liquid 6. Remove the boiled okra from the liquid 7. Smooth the nutrient rich slimy gel into a clean and sterilized jar 8. Store in the fridge when you're not using it 9. Use within 2 to 3 days or add a synthetic preservative to increase it's shelf life. Some essential oils that have demonstrated antimicrobial properties are caraway, cinnamon, clove, cumin, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, rose, rosemary, sage, sandalwood, tea tree, and thyme. To properly preserve products for long periods of time, you'll need to exceed the recommendations for safe amounts in skin care products. If using these essential oils to preserve products, make batches smaller and use them quickly. ** If possible, use a strainer to remove/separate the okra, okra seeds, and slime. Optional: Add a little freshly squeezed lemon juice or your favorite essential oil to the mix. |

Hey ladies, I have a new recipe for you guys to try. I doubles as a hair moisturizer and a body moisturizer. Shea Butter Crème This recipe makes an excellent hair moisturizer and sealer for both natural and relaxed black hair. It also makes a wonderful body butter! Ingredients: * 4 tablespoons shea butter * 2 tablespoon cocoa butter * 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil * A few drops of your favorite essential oil for fragrance [e.g. lemon oil, lavender oil, ylang ylang oil, etc.] Directions: Melt the shea butter & and cocoa butter over a low heat until melted and slowly add olive oil. Pour the oils into a bowl, add a few drops of the essential oil to provide a light fragrance [don't go overboard]. Put your bowl over another bowl filled with ice to allow the oils to set faster. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is light and fluffy [If you have one, use an electric hand mixer for this]. Spoon into a jar[or any other resealable container, seal and enjoy! |
