Travel / Is Any One Studying At The Medical University Of Silesia? by NappyMimi(f): 1:25pm On Apr 14, 2016 |
Hi, I'm thinking about studying there but it's hard to find non polish people who are studying medicine there in Poland. If you are studying there or in another medical school in Poland, pls let me know, I have some questions, thanks. |
Fashion / Re: How To Make Your Relaxed Hair Grow Longer And Fuller. by NappyMimi(f): 10:57am On May 18, 2015 |
I'm natural,went from twa to bra length in 1yr & 6months this may,I'm so happy to see relaxed ladies wt healthy regimens & hair.If I knew all these wen I was relaxed,I probably wouldn't av gone natural. I want to share 10 dry hair n breakage tips from my blog,it applies to both naturals & relaxed ladies & gents Dry hair is very common among naturals.Because of our hair pattern especially those like me in the type 4 range,moisture takes longer to go down our strands & by that time,it might have evaporated. We hear the the word ‘moisture’ every time yet some over look it.My hair drinks moisture like crazy & not giving it that leads to dryness which leads to breakage. For some,their hair just doesn’t hold moisture no matter how frequently they moisturize.Below I’ve written some solutions & tips for dry hair & breakage. Dry hair & breakage tips & solutions: 1) Add a humectant to your regimen Humectants are simply substances that attract & hold on to water.Examples are honey,aloe vera & glycerine. Add them to your leave ins,moisturizers, conditioners & deep conditioners. This is especially for those whose hair find it hard to hold moisture.eg of a leave in with glycerin,see my post Simple Glycerin Leave In Spritz For Dry Hair 2) For breakage do protein treatments Does your hair feel & look limp & lifeless ? You might need a protein treatment. Your hair is made up of protein & a weak hair structure needs it.I love Africa’s best hair mayonnaise because it’s also a leave in protein treatment. 3) Check your shampoo Some Shampoos can dry out your hair & make your conditioner seem ineffective. Avoid conditioners containing ‘ sulphates’ .A simple test to know if your shampoo dries out your hair is to check how your hair feels after using it & before applying a conditioner.To prevent hair drying out from shampoos,do a pre poo.See also my post on ……simple oil shampoo 4) Do the loc method of moisturizing In the loc method,you apply a water based leave in or just water,an oil then a creamy moisturizer or butter.This ensures that the moisture from the leave in doesn’t evaporate,leaving your hair dry in an hour. 5) Avoid the ‘hand in hair syndrome’ It might seem funny but over playing with your strands is manipulation. Just leave it alone.I like playing with my hair,I over did it sometimes & ended up with frizz & some strands that follow my fingers out *precious hair*.I prefer leaving it alone to avoid strain on the strands.

Fashion / Solutions For Flaky/stiff Styling Creams And Gels by NappyMimi(f): 10:56pm On May 08, 2015 |
Note: I have natural hair but this applies to everyone I’ve seen a lot of people having problems with gels and styling creams,so I decided to write this to wrap up this week’s posts Let’s start with styling gels When I was relaxed,I used black gels,which made my hair very stiff.I couldn’t comb my hair after except I washed it off.I thought it was normal and correct. When I returned natural,I totally avoided gels & activators of all kinds. Most gels leave flakes & residue on hair after drying.Some provide hold but makes our hair stiff & plastered to our scalp. I hate all these problems & didn’t want to risk my hair breaking like a twig. I don’t recommend black gels.A colourless gel is better.These solutions are very easy & your choice depends on you. Solutions to gels that flake & make hair stiff. 1) Make a curling pudding with the gel. See my post How to make a curling pudding from just 3 basic ingredients you already have. It leaves your hair moisturized while still providing hold. 2) Add an oil: Favorites include olive,coconut & castor oil among others.An oil prevents your hair from drying out.Few gels like ecostlyer gel with olive oil,comes with an oil.If yours doesn’t,just add an oil. No 2 is ideal for those whose hair gets weighed down with too much products & need light products. see the rest here http:///usZw29RGkA 2 Likes |

Fashion / 10 Uses Of Coconut Oil by NappyMimi(f): 8:24pm On May 05, 2015 |
Any other coconut oil lover here? Coconut oil is loved by many people,even an holy grail for some.I use it on my hair & make sure most of the store bought hair products I have contain it.It has great penetrating and moisturising properties for hair & body. I love multi tasking products so I decided to search for other ways to use coconut oil.These are a few: 1) As a shaving cream 2) As an eye cream 3) As a deep conditioner 4) As a moisturizer (both hair & body) 5) For oil cleansing your face 6) To soothe cracked & dry ankles & elbows 7) With sugar as a facial scrub As a lip balm (yummy!) 9) On scars 10) Oil pulling (a way to use oil for mouth cleansing) Hope this helps! I'll answer any questions you may have & also share what you use coconut oil for. https://www.nappyteens. |
