gorociano:
I’ve been natural for three years and it’s been a journey. And a not-so-easy one too, there are many things I wish I had known before embarking on this journey but it took a lot of learning and re-learning to get me this far. There are lots of content on the internet that will leave you misinformed especially when you’re new to the natural hair game. So here is my personal gift to you, a simple beginners’ guide to going natural.


Simple is the way to go
If you were looking for a long post about some complicated natural hair routine or natural hair regimen, then you’ve come to the wrong place. In fact from past experience, I can say that doing the most with your hair only impedes your hair health and growth. The simplest regimens are the best. My last-born sibling is just 5 and her hair is longer than mine (and she’s cut it twice). So we have both been natural for roughly the same number of years. But if there’s one thing I’ve learnt from her hair it’s that the simpler the better. All we do is moisturize and protect her hair and I started applying the same method to my hair too.

Step 1: Moisturize
Bantu knot out

Natural hair needs moisture, especially in our harsh weather. Dry hair is the number one cause of hair breakage, so you might think your hair is not growing but in reality it’s breaking faster than you can retain the length. The most popular technique for keeping your hair moisturized is the LOC method also known as LCO method. The L in LOC stands for liquid. Your hair needs water, water is life; so your liquid can either be water or a water-based product. You first spray water over your entire hair. Next is O, which stands for Oil; the oil is a sealant that keeps the water sealed into your hair strand, you can use coconut, olive oil or any other oil of your choice. While the final C stands for Cream; the cream helps to close the hair cuticle and keep both oil and water sealed in. You can use a leave-in conditioner for your cream, shea butter or any moisturizing natural hair cream.

Step 2: Protect


The next step is to do protective styles. The key to letting your hair grow is keeping it protected, you can leave out your afro once in a while but over-exposure to sun and harmattan really is not good for the hair. There are numerous protective natural hair styles to choose from; bantu knots, twists, finger coils, flat twists, thread and our usual African styles like all-back, etc. If you like variety, I’ll suggest doing all-back and rocking wigs, but don’t forget to keep your hair moisturized. For hair growth, low manipulation is key, instead of changing hairstyles every day or week, you can try one protective style every month, do this regularly while keeping your hair moisturized and I promise you, your hair will grow. Unfortunately, I love manipulating my hair a lot and I don’t mind the length because it’s not a competition, I just like to style my hair in different beautiful ways, you can say I’m obsessed. My point is, if you’re worried about length, keep manipulation minimal.

Natural Hair Beginners Kit

There are some things you’d need for this journey, let’s just call it a starter kit.

Satin pillowcase or bonnet – The usual cotton pillowcases are bad news for your hair and even skin. Satin silk reduces friction so using it will reduce friction, keep your hair neat and minimize tangles. It is also great for your facial skin because unlike abrasive material like cotton, wool, etc, satin doesn’t draw in moisture from your skin, it simply glides instead of pulling on your skin thereby reducing wrinkles and acne. Keep in mind that you should wash your pillowcase every few days or at least once a week to remove natural oils from your face/hair and product residue as this can clog your skin pores.
Leave-in conditioner
Deep conditioner
Spray bottle
Oil
Moisturizing Cream
Wide-tooth comb
Edge control and small brush – To get those sleek edges
Satin/silk scarf – To lay down those sleek edges, can also be used in place of bonnet or pillowcase
Hair clips, pins and accessories

Have been natural for two years, my natural hair is lip length, tho am a lazy naturalista I try to moisturize my hair daily, African hair needs moisture to grow, I do my protein treatment, deep conditioner, tea rinse, okra treatment, pre poo and hot oil treatment whenever I feel like. Can't do without protective styling. Goodbye to relaxers. I love my natural hair. smiley
please throw more light on the treatment listed above.

Shot up and stop making notice, remember you were our slaves before the Europeans came, your kings still pay homage to our Oba
please mention the kings that paid homage to your oba and when they did? This is how you people spread lies to make yourselves feel better.

Assuming your claim of us being slaves are even true, what is the reality today.
what is the relevant of Benin people and their oba in today Nigeria, apart from prostitution and human trafficking. You better wake up.

Instead of you to live in the present today you are still dwelling in past events that were exaggerated to boast your stinking ego.

urhobos are doing well and we can only get better.

Get off we don't need you guys and your irrelevant oba.

My only take is that Isoko language is not a branch of the Urhobo language. It neither a dialect of urhobo..its an independent language...the degree of mutual non intelligibility btw the two language is enough for my claim.
are you an Isoko person

Thank you oniovo, please hit em hard, the Beni kingdom is long gone, nobody gives a rat ass about any kingdom.

You will always see these Edo folks in Every Thread trying to tell the world that everybody is under them , If they are not picking on the Yorubas they will be Picking on others.

As for the language nonsense, let me be clear here.

The urhobo language is not under Edo, You only call a language a subgroup of another if both group can communicate, believe me I don't understand any shit about Edo and Edo cant understand me either.

One even said Itsekiri was Edoid, lol.
The edo's always using urhobo /isoko to massage their bruised ego. Enough is enough. The truth must be told.

I agree with you totally, they are now nonentities in Niger delta with a population less than 200k, whereas the Urhobo/isoko are numbering close to 5 million
in everything we do there is always a reward, the Benin's are already reaping their's. what is even the relevant of their oba outside edo state? nothing.
this serves as a lesson to other ethnic groups. There is nothing greater than mutual respect for one another.

There are some Urhobo/isoko & itsekiri communities in Edo state in Ovia, the landgrabbers have continuously maginalized them and call them settlers in their own land sef, you guys should be careful
Benin's have been known for their oppressive leadership. we are aware of that. you can't bully people forever. God/universe have ways of humbly people like that and it's already taking effect.

You obviously did not get the memo before accusing me of tribalism which is what you're very good at.

Delta state is not the homeland of Isoko people even though most Isoko people can be found in Delta state. The reason is because those that carved Delta state made it so. I dont see a big deal in having an Isoko tribe living in another artificial creation in Bayelsa without considering the fact that Bayelsa is just a stone throw from where Isokos are situated in Delta sate. They could even be contiguous to each other. It' just like saying that there's an Igbo tribe in Asaba outside the south-east as if Igbos are limited to the artificial creation that is south-east Nigeria.
if delta is not the homeland of Isoko, then where is their homeland?

oz4real83:
OP please do your research properly. If it means enquiring from the old men and women in the villages,please do. ''Isoko'' has the full name ''isoko-edo'' which means ''a branch of edo''. They have never been a branch of urhobo although they have language similarity which is as a result of geographical proximity. Isoko like many other groups in Nigeria,are branches of edo and were parts of the great Benin empire.
you are just senseless

You know, when people say things like "The Isoko tribe in Bayelsa" or "The Igbo tribe in Benue or Kogi", i really don't unerstand what they mean when you consider that states are actually an artificial creation. I don't see a big deal in an Isoko tribe in a state that shares boundary with Delta state where Isokos are majorly situated. It will be a big deal if i find an Isoko or Urhobo tribe somewhere in Benue or Zamfara or even in Ghana.
they are acknowledging their presence in the state.

If you need someone to vote out due to not seeing much of them, then vote out Miracle. Everyone has seem more of Anto than of Miracle. Anto makes more coherent statements in a day than Miracle has made since he entered the house.

miracle will come out from that comfort zone eventually, and I want to see it.

Are you guys sure Miracle isn't an Air host rather than a pilot? I have met pilots before and one can easily tell from the way they speak that they are intelligent, even their behaviors and mannerism indicate that they are intelligent people. There is nothing about miracle that indicates intelligence. Even in the puzzle games which evaluate spatial intelligence, the kind that someone who is qualified to fly a plane should have since he is dealing with maps and complex coordinate systems, miracle performs woefully.

With the way these BBN housemates tell lies you can never know.
he is socially awkward and that affects his speech, and that doesn't mean he is not intelligent.

when someone is not too good in some aspect of their lives, they are great in other aspect.

he is still young and he is going to learn and this bbn is a great platform him to grow.
