Tayeni: not feeling the suits They make d model look stuck up......I prefer two buttoned suits .....d closer d top button is to my neck, the lesser I like d suit........just my personal preference. D shoes aren't cool too. The box toes are not 2013 compliant.........rounded or pointed toes look better.

lol... yup,i'm not feeling the shoes at all , the full buttoned suits dont cut it for me too, looks like the guy is stuffed..lol. (something i see around in Nigeria a lot) Just my take .

i was really lazy to cook anything tonight ,but i managed to cook some beans ,fried plaintain ,sweet potatoes and some beef stew.

You guys can find her on my blog under blogs i read.(fresh lengths)

babestell: Na Uzoo be this, madam when people with short hair talk you too open mouth! If I catch u ehn, I will use scissors and show you short hair then we can start stretching together

lol......... But you dont have to blame me , up untill i saw this picture posted by Baglova , i thought everyone was the same as me. ...lol i did the scissors chop many years ago. So NO thank you.


Ok she has been my inspiration, i follow her blog to get hair tips, she just did a current length check today .
,take a look at her length for today below.

babestell: Uzoo your hair and mine sound like sisters........mine should be the elder cos she turns coarse sometimes after a day, I havent tried a tea rinse before, maybe I should. Am in my 6th week of strechibg and its like at my last deep conditioning all my hair went with the comb . My hair is fuller now and I have more strands on the edge but it doesn't want to grow like that hairlicious chick's own.

Am so demoralised I just had to go fix my hair even though I planned not to. Does anybody have ideas for cool protective styles for short hair, the ones I see are usually for long hair.

Yes exactly ,thats the problem with mine,the distance between the hair at the edges and my eye brows are less than 1 inch ,so when i do relax it looks like i didnt do jack ,it curls back down stubbornly. That Hairlicious lady has really long hair, the key is patience you know from her blog she started her Hair journey a couple of years ago , one has to be patient but i just want to make sure i'm doing the right stuff to enable healthy growth.

BagLova: she is the motivation for starting this thread. im using her method which has been working for me in terms of fullness and length. this is her full post



How do we get here? lol.

oh oh ,can't remember my hair being that short in the first two pictures. You can take a look at my blog for my previous length and current length http://productsthatactuallydowork..com/p/hair-w.html


1.
Fullness (Volume) - that in fact has never been my hair's problem ,if i had a way of making it less fuller trust me i would,the hair is just something else, i have to do a lot to get it to smoothen out.

2.
Length - Now, this is what i'm looking for (i've gone past the length in the third picture which has always been the length where my hair stops growing ) but since i joined in the stretch in june i've added about 2 to 3 inches ,but like i said the damn thing is breaking at the rate at which it is growing.

So i will be waiting for any more tips on how to retain length or like you said get to our desired length. ( i just want bra strap length and i'm fine ..lol)

@Stellasmeza

Did i hear Chocolate cake?! Hope i'm not late,..let me have a piece while i wipe the drool on the corner of my mouth.


@Ogugua88
that Thai dish looks yummy.


@Yvete
glad to have you here...Thanks, My curiosity makes me want to learn everything

Number two is my best.,

@Ogugua88


You're right , its the same thing that's happening to me too,The hair is fast growing but i can't seem to retain more lengths . like i said ,seems like my new growth are on steroids that makes the rest of the relaxed/texlaxed hair break away. I dont even do much to it just wrapped up in a pony tail with the ends tucked in after moisturising and sealing.



@Yvete

i have followed my regimen to the T, but honestly i am tired of still picking some hair from the comb on days i dont do a Tea Rinse. My tea rinse is once a week and breakage only stops for that day only(i pray every other wash day not to have much breakage) the other good thing is that it has given my hair a really darker shade which i love.(looks like i dyed my hair black)

To answer your question ,No its not a protein treatment ,You just brew some Green tea or Black tea that has caffeine in it ,let it cool and then pour over your hair after conditioning , ,You have to place a jug or bowl to collect it when it runs through your hair and then pour it over your hair again.The caffeine in the tea helps prevent breakage ,some people use coffee too

Finally ! some people are on the same page as me, Gosh! i cant wait for september 7 ( it will be 3 months stretch by then),So there's a possibility of ending my stretch.Why i joined the stretch was to see if i could have some more length rather than volume, but the down side is breakage.

But here's the thing ,even when i do use the relaxers my hair return backs to being coarse after a few days,so i have to keep using products that are hydrating and can soften them to make them smooth.

Perfect Blend: It's not easy but we try, that's why we hv to keep practising everyday. Thanks a lot dear, will also checkout your blog. Just send me the link.

Thanks, here's the link http://productsthatactuallydowork..com/

It will be nice if you could do a tutorial on how to get the perfect arch (eye brows) for different shapes of faces.

i have an Oval face with hooded eye brows which grows in different directions ,it starts off growing nicely from the edge of my nose bridge then cuts off and begins to grow upwards and then curling backwards towards the hair on my fore head ...( its really funny because in high school my school mates called me '''chicago bulls'') you get the picture.

It actually runs in my family,so it doesnt really give me much worries ,its just that sometimes i get tweezer happy and just get rid of the curly part leaving me with half of an eye brow

IvyBlue:



It looks creepy to me lol

Really creepy

trying to deface the only natural beauties left on this earth.

will you be interested in Charles Tyrwhitt shirts? they are pretty much at par with the brands you mentioned above?

@Prettylee01
Thanks for the invitation from the FOOD section.

About Yoghurt,Here's the thing- My belly and Yoghurt have some sort of love-hate relationship. When i have any sort of yoghurt whether its plain yoghurt or pro biotic ,i get seriously bloated and it can be like this for a day or two so this makes me really uncomfortable.
But when i make smoothies with it ( say 3 or 4 ounces of yoghurt into the fruit mix) then its fine .

As for bananas ,i used to be an addict but i stopped because i can't seem to find healthy ones in lagos.

Pray i dnt know your lady, am goona open her world that u are still yet to comprehend. The whole act of argument,undue bias and admiration of fellow men running around with boxers short reminds M̶̲̥̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ of girls fighting over their man.

.....,yea.
...like i said ,Not loving football has got nothing to do with it

cool.

Perfect Blend: yaaaaay! That's really nice Uzo, will be expecting pictures.

Yea, really i can imagine that as easy as it may sound , applying just an ordinary lipstick to get a perfect pout is quite tasking.it took me two days to get it right. Its not easy becoming a professional Make-Up artist and to think you ladies have to do like a whole bridal train in hours.Kudos and thanks for sharing this here, I have added you to my blog to get updates on make up tips,since i'm so clumsy at it...lol

I visited a friend at her studio to help me out though,but the entire look was up to me to decide what shade of red i wanted.

Moderator ,i think this should be moved to the romance section.

No 4 ...Baaadd real baddd ... ( talking about those toes ..) as a shoe lover ,i hate those shoes.

and yes No 1 can do with some earrings.

No 2 . too baggy ,too sloppy to say the least

LoveAmaka88:
I felt like venting about stuff I don't like in fashion. Feel free to add stuff you don't like or disagree with the stuff I don't like.

1. The killer whale/penguin looking dress that women think is chic. If you are a size 2 you look like a penguin and if you are a size 22 you look like a killer whale. I've never seen it look good on anyone.

Me too, maybe that's because no one has rocked it properly,i'm yet to see it look really nice on any one.

by the way ,those Harem pants on the title page are absolutely hideous

i really can't say if watching football has any thing do with it.

ohh .... sorry guys , i meant to have re phrased the question. i wasn't referring to me (trust me, i'm getting enough )

i just wanted to know what to tell a friend of mine who thinks her bf is gay , the thing is, i told her that i'm suspecting he's gay , cos he comes out in boxer shorts to wash his car in the mornings and at nights ( really skimpy shorts) ,and he does all that girly wave with his hands and fingers when he talks(like he's displaying his nails), and he's always sitting in the company of her other girl friends talking about girly things like under wear,make up and all.

actually she said they haven't had intercourse in months.But she didn't tell me why. They have been dating since last two years april. 2011 to be precise

so i just want to know if these signs are truly what gay guys do.

Dubby6: In Benin Ugbowo to b precise, dia bananas loos as if dia 4 sacrifice

....yea, some of these bananas look really weird

Is it me .? or is there a kind of banana sold by those hausa guys in lagos.

the ones we get from the villages in the east tastes better , they are larger in size and when they are ripe you look at them and can see that they are actually ripe because they have that yellowish green color.

But the bananas i've seen around especially in lagos sold by some people in the market are all green and then some are ripe while others are not and they tend to irritate my lips.

Some said these farmers sometimes use chemicals(..like Nitrogen or something) to ripen the fruits quicker so they can sell them off.I dont know how true this is.

Any one experienced this before?

Ok i know a healthy relationship is not all about sex but what if you have a boy friend who is not interested in sex or fore play and both of you have been dating for years.

what are the signs to look out for that will convince you he's getting it from another man?

more like soul train ...lol but i like it though. Solange is just doing her own thing with her style statement, she's one celebrity that doesn't follow the crowd,and i like that. She took a real risk in this coral print outfit by sacrificing her femininity.
