December? D@s odd cos I even spotted some today! Check the markets as well. D@ must have given great results @ sheabutter + eggs. Do u know?of late I'v been toying with the idea of going natural.....havnt made my mind up yet. Well, I may or may not go au naturel, but I'm liking the fact that women of colour in different parts of the world are trying it out. |

Pls do,u won't regret it. If however black tea makes ur hair hard, then u can switch to green tea. Ald best! |
Fashion / Re: How Do I Use Coconut Oil To Stop Hair Breakage by onnari(f): 7:12am On Jun 08, 2013 |
Yeah,breakage is caused by a number of things including improper hair care and nutrition n even stress.weigth loss n dieting but shedding/breakage is something we all experience and have to remedy. On the average women could loose 50-100 hairs daily Tea rinses are a sure treatment/remedy. Try it out. You could still get a trim to eliminate split ends. |
Fashion / Re: How Do I Use Coconut Oil To Stop Hair Breakage by onnari(f): 3:29am On Jun 08, 2013 |
Coconut oil is great for hair wet or dry, and doesn't have side effects, what you should be using to stop breakage is doing tea rinses. Ppl use tea or coffee but tea is better I.e green or black tea. Boil some water like 2 or 3 glasses, put in about 4 teabags and brew. Allow to cool, and rinse uR hair by pouring and repouring(u could use a pitcher or jug to catch the tea). Wear a shower cap and leave on for 45mins to an hour DO NOT GO UNDER A DRYER! Jst do ur regular biz around d house. When time elapses,rinse off, moisturize. Constant heat aint gud fr hair n air drying is normally better so u cld try air drying some times. Tea rinses stop breakage perfectly. Ps- u don't have to wash off coconut oil frm ur hair. When u apply,leave it in. Other oils to try are castor oil and olive oil. They do wonders and don't exclude shea butter (ori). U could even put ur ori in a plastic bottle n place in a bowl of hot water so it melts, and u apply as oil. 4 Likes |

She's never been one to shy away from showing her body. But an LA artist's new creation may be a step too far for even fame-hungry Kim Kardashian. The pregnant reality star's nude form has been preserved in all it's glory by celebrity artist Daniel......

Fashion / Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by onnari(f): 1:48pm On Jun 02, 2013 |
EFOSA VAL: Normally, underlining shouldn't be cut same length as the actual garment. And for Jada not to apply gathers at all, she would only have to cut her underlining in an a-line silhouette or flare. If she however wants to cut her underlining 'straight' she would hav to make some scanty pleats or gathers on it for it to seat well. |

@ jadareese- underlining alone can't make ur dress bulky especially as this dress requires a full skirt. though the photo isn't clear enuff to really c, I'l say take it in @ the sides to reduce bulk, and iron out. Iron out your main dress and underlining from top to bottom. If u havnt got a steam iron, always sprinkle water and then iron. The difference is very noticeable |

yes u'r right. but add seam allowance i.e 1'' or even 1.5'' n f0r d frnt,u'l have 14'' f0r each piece (i calculated with 1'' seam all0wance) |
Fashion / Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by onnari(f): 3:31pm On May 29, 2013 |
No dear- seeing d@ ts a wrap dress, make a wrap allowance in front with 4''. So you place ur back piece on d 4'' mark I.e 4'' frm the center of ur front piece. Pls try to edit ur pics by resizing so dey become smaller for u to upload. Wld like to have a look |

@favour- it dpends on what u refer to 'normal'...use cotton linning(not Poplin). Silk linning is heat inducing... |
