i guess what you are trying to say is 'CHOCOLATE' is the brand name of the hair extension you are using.

well, i think they both need to hit the gym.

well i started observing the growth in less than a month.

but in addition to the home made hair conditioner above, i was also taking OMEGA H3 capsules.

i tell you,that is a miracle drug . it suppliments your meals and helps with every deficiency in vitamins that you lack for

hair growth , nails , even skin if taken everyday. Like i said ,its a suppliment ,meaning you have to eat and balance your diet with lots of proteins ( especially Egg whites)along with the drug to see an improvement.

Remember PROTEINS REPAIR WORN OUT TISSUES. so for any kind of growth , ( nails, hair , teeth) you need protein.


If you are bold enough and can stand the smell of raw egg on your hair , then add raw egg white to the mixture above before applying to hair when steaming, or leave it in your hair over night , to wash off with water in the morning.

Good luck.

that i can't clearify because the price varies from store to store.

Say , between N600- N900,

the one i got from a store on the island was about N700 . but like i said the price varies.

more hair-do pics

you can find them in most hair accessories stores in lagos.

check EBEANO SUPERMARKET on admiralty way lekki,most stores in IKOTA SHOPPING COMPLEX VGC will have them.

get a detangler and spray all over it , dont use any of those heavy hair creams/conditioners that are made for black hair.

you can use JUST FOR ME detangling conditioner , its actually for kids but does the job when sprayed on hair extensions.

after spraying then comb through before using a brush.

@OP

in addition to what adonisgold and dominique said

create a home for everything in your kitchen, it could be wall shelves like earlier mentioned or boxes, so that as soon as you are done.
everything goes back to where they were.

Caracta: Thank you

You're welcome.

So you've got a little bambino who has real natural african hair but its such a pain getting them to sit and have their hair done in the salon or where ever,because it hurts badly when combing through.


Follow this routine to a soft manageable hair.

(i often advice that one should never use any form of relaxers on a child's hair at least until she/he is older ,say 16- 18 years) even the so called texturizers , its just a sugar coated name , the damn thing still contains harsh chemicals that is bad for a tender scalp like that of a child.
If you are using relaxers for your kids hair , my advice is to STOP NOW!

1. to comb through hair braids/corn rows that has been loosened before washing , try spraying a DETANGLING CONDITIONER on the hair before combing through.
e.g Just for me detangling 2 in 1 conditioner. ( deep pink plastic bottle with purple cork)

2. wash the hair twice a week with children's conditioning shampoo e.g JUST for Me ,2 IN 1 CONDITIONING SHAMPOO ( lemon green plastic bottle with yellow cork)
in the case where you can not get a conditioning shampoo, find a shampoo for kids and a separate conditioner for kids.

3. apply leave in conditioners for kids by ORGANICS ,at least every other day on the childs hair and less on the scalp to avoid itching.

4 . when washing the hair make sure the temperature of the water is hot enough for the child to bear , ( not warm ,not cold , just slightly hot)

5. while washing the hair massage the scalp very gently ( this helps to stimulate the blood vessels in the scalp and promotes hair growth at the same time while relaxing the child. i can not recall how many times i've been to the salon and i watch all these saloon girls washing the child's hair like they are digging for gold, or trying to shake off stones from the hair. This causes pain and breakage.)

6. try as much as possible to dry the hair gently with a towel before using the blow dryer, excessive use of the blow dryer can damage the hair and tend to make the hair brittle.

7. repeat number one after washing and you are about to blow dry the hair.

8. when blow drying using a good wide tooth comb ( not the plastic coloured weave on brush), start from the top of the hair holding the roots with your hand and comb. Do this for the entire top of the hair before working your way down to the roots with the comb , this helps to release any tangled hair at the top and allows for easy combing/brushing from the roots all the way up.

9. if your child swims often , make sure you rinse the hair out with clean water to get rid of chlorine,dry with a towel or a T-shirt use the conditioner ( leave in ) as soon as the hair is dry.( the chlorine used in swimming pools affects the hair too)

10. always keep the child's hair moisturised by using hair conditioner for kids. try Organic root products for kids.

You can also mix water and glycerin in a spray bottle and spray on the child's hair 2 or 3 times daily

adaobi123: wow

Amazing,right?

and to think she is 57....

Everything's under control, y'all! J.Lo is her glam self again!

After looking like a forest dweller at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Jennifer Lopez scrubbed the tree sap from her skin and emerged in glorious form at the premiere of her new film Parker in NYC on Wednesday.

Hurrah!

The 43-year-old looked superb in a strapless white peplum Lanvin dress with bow detail and white Lanvin pumps.

BEAUTY SECRETS

"Good Morning America" has been revealing this month the health, wardrobe and beauty secrets of the world's top supermodels so you can attempt to duplicate their effortlessly stylish looks.

Supermodel Iman appeared today on "GMA" to share her top makeup tips.

"Ladies, whatever you're doing now, put it down and put an SPF on," the 57-year-old founder and CEO of IMAN Cosmetics, Skincare and Fragrances said of her number one beauty tip. "You have to."

"All year-round, every day. My dermatologist has me on SPF 50," she said. "The sun does not discriminate."

If you want to look like Iman well into your later years, the legendary supermodel says you must treat taking care of your skin as a priority, not an afterthought.

"I'm telling you...people ask me, 'What gives your skin such a good [look] at 57?,' it's simple," she said. "It's religiously taking care of my skin."


"Like you brush your teeth twice a day, you really take care of your skin twice a day," she said. "It doesn't have to be expensive. You cleanse, moisturize and hydrate. As simple as that. Trust me, in five to 10 years you'll see a remarkable change in your face."

IMAN Cosmetics was the very first line for women of color when it was launched in 1994.

white body con

i was looking at some current fashion magazines and it seems to me that the LBD (little black dress )
has been taken over by its rival, the( LWD) the little white dress.

who says the bride is the only one allowed to wear a white dress ....

(well, i guess only on her wedding day ).

these white dresses are in ,and the LBDs are taking the back seat for now.

take a look at whats trending now on the bright ''white '' side.

How it helps:
This classic breakfast food may help reduce body-fat levels by providing slow-digesting carbs with plenty of fiber to keep your insulin levels stable throughout the day. Ultimately, this helps increase fat-burning because higher insulin levels help move fat into storage more readily, especially if you’re not training regularly.

APPLE
An apple a day may keep the doctor away and it may also keep the fat away. One study found that dieters who ate one apple before each meal, burned more calories and lost more weight than dieters who did not kick off their meals apples.

WATER
Water is an important part of any diet and works in a myriad of ways. It cuts fluid retention by flushing water from the body. It's also been shown to speed the metabolism. Furthermore, drinking water prevents dehydration, which has been shown to slow the metabolism. People who are dehydrated often confuse thirst for hunger and end up eating unnecessary calories.
