JohnRockefeller: people are fund of posting pics of abuja,lagos and comparing it to london or miami,such people are ignorant ,someone posted pics of uyo roundabout and argued with someone that uyo looks like miami. nigerian mentality is poisonous and disastrous ,stop living in delusions of grandeur.

LMAO ... I've never been to Uyo or Miami, but the bolded got me cracking UP! #Cold

awww ... I'm going to edit the thread's title. Don't ask me how. Perdon!

I am a woman of many words, but today, I'm speechless (in a good way though). Dearest J......, may all that you ask God be granted to you thousand fold! A friend is someone who stands by your side, when you are worried and/or broken inside. You are always there to put a smile on my face and make me laugh through the worst of my days. When I'm having a bad day, Olarwarlay could tell somehow ... before I say anything ... haha! It's great knowing you my dear friend.... Happy Birthday!! #ManyBlessings #HealthandWealth

I'll be back ... still sleepy-eyed!

^^ Good job Uzoo. Love the grey and white look. Very cute for Fall/Winter. My favorite winter colors are Cognac, mustard yellow and orange with leggings and mid-calf boots.
@ Thread: I think suede and/or leather ankle boots are more appropriate for Naija. I've seen Nollywood actresses in tall boots and it looks tacky.

@ Olarwarlay: That video cracked me up! Was it a real prank or they're acting? Funny as hell!
@ SeunBunmi: Nice talking to you.

@ Amefrica: Wow, you engage in mid-night prayers? Pretty good, I never would have thought you go hard at the devil ... hehe!

Uhmnn ... Is your wedding not an opportunity to hook up your single girlfriends?
... Recently, a friend was disappointed that she was paired with a very handsome married groomsman. They looked great together in pictures.

Amefrica: ^^^ The Zebra looks cute..

Sure is! Why you up so early? Hope you ain't fretting for your visa interview. Though I didn't read the other one, I'm pretty sure you'll do great this time. Fix the statement and the visa is yours. #SuccessStories

NIAPREXT: I'm a bit confused about the Protien treatment, is it before or after stretching Also losing my front hair, and advice would be appreciated.

Welcome on board. Are you 22 weeks post-relaxer? Are you stretching or transitioning to natural?
Protein treatments should be before and/or after depending on the state of your hair. I don't experience much breakage so I do PR once monthly. Some people use ORS or simply mix up stuff in your kitchen - avocado, eggs, black tea, olive oil, etc. Read through the thread for ideas. Ogugua, Baglova & Uzoo have different interesting ideas. I use castor + coconut oil for my edges (temple and nape). Hope this helps.

CFCfan: ^^ I like the zebra

Me too. It caught my attention. Had to pull over to take pictures ... Lolz

awwww .... I missed my dear SeunBunmi's birthday!! *covers face in shame* I never miss anyone's birthday.
@ Y'all ... went to work out of town and saw this cute Zebra gated by the roadside. It seemed quite lonely ... awwwww

utumunta: Humility to the ordinary man is when you bring yourself so low as to be rubbi.shed by them. As long as you do your thing, knowing that it is right and not minding what they gossip about; you are proud.

True statement! Smh ... In the words of Wizkid "... people always think they have an opinion".

caramel007: But I m definitely going for the mammogram option for her.

If they're no lumps, I suggest you try to get an ultrasound instead. Though more expensive, ultrasounds are better at detection of abnormalities. I know the scare ... best wishes to your Mum.

You wrote that you 'appreciate me and I've done you no wrong' on Mamacita's thread and yes, you can't deny - got a copy of your comment. "And here - Yvete,.... Keep up the good work. You are loved. XOXO". Awww .... Thank you!!! Muaaah! ... Won't stoop to your level, get youself a real man not a girl-beater! Ms low self-esteem. hehe! Say No to dysfunctional relationships!

LMAO ... Kofsy, see, I didn't need to be a part of this. Is there any thread where people ain't cursing you out - razz girl? Now stop stalking me, will ya?

We are pacesetters, eat our left-over! In your words, "you have Mamacita to thank for following the us thread " .... awww

Before I get started, ladies please learn to use control cremes properly on your edges. Gels leave your hair super-hard and prone to breakage. You can use an old toothbrush to apply edge control cremes lightly on your edges. Why do you buy expensive weaves if you can't invest in a good edge control? ?? Nollywood actresses are guilty of this.

To the nitty-gritty ...
1. Let your weave match your hair texture. If you have very coarse and thick hair, STAY AWAY FROM SILKY HAIR weaves! ...especially if you're going to leave hair out. When the hair textures don't match, it looks ugly. Tired of seeing ladies rocking 23-inches of Brazilian hair cascading down their backs while the front edges is a mess! If you're going with pre-packaged hair like Noble, Milky way, Sensationnel etc, go for Yaki/Yaky texture unless your hair is silky. Virgin hair vendors can get you a hair texture that's close to your real hair.

2. Try to do a protein treatment prior to fixing weaves and right after you take it down. This helps to strengthen your hair. You can't do without it.

3. If you are getting a full sew-in with no hair left out, tell your stylist not to braid the baby hairs and short strands around your hairline. No. You need to baby that fragile area. Again, use edge control cremes; Let's jam, ORS, CON and Hicks Perfect edges are great. There are many products out there.

4. If you have no front hair because its 'chopped out' or 'thinning' .... Wigs with bangs are your best friends. Do not fix weaves, go on a relaxer stretch or go natural for your edges are filled in. See Naomi Campbell's pic below.

5. Do NOT use hair glue unless you want to be permanently bald, Hair glue is a No No. If you’re not interested in getting a sew-in weave, manage your natural hair with flex-rods, Bantu knots or braids. If you still get a glued-on weave, please take all necessary steps with oils in taking it out so you don’t lose hair in the process.

6. Do not let the stylist braid your hair or sew in the weave too tight. You’ll know because aside the major migraine that you’ll experience, you’ll see white bulbs on the tip of many strands along your hairline. This means that hair has been pulled out because of the tension. Also, tiny bumps will form in the back of your head.

7. Don't wear your weave or braids for more than three months. The longer your leave it in coupled with the frequent washing + drying, shed hair, etc. will cause your hair to matt up over time.

8. If you are planning to leave your weave/braids in for three months, you might want to rethink frequent washing and co-washing. I usually wash once per week (Saturdays), but sometimes I change it up to twice weekly. Again, frequent washing and air drying, product buildup, etc, might cause your hair to get matted. In 2009, I had braids in for 3 months and lost a lot of hair esp. on my edges.

9. After you take out your weave, make sure its fully detangled before washing. Use your hands, detangling spray or comb it out fully before applying relaxer or washing. (Trust me, you will have a MAJOR setback if you do not listen to that one rule). I learned the hard way. …as soon as water hit my hair, it formed locs and got really matted. I had to chop out huge chunks of hair.

10. It is okay for you to see lots of hair in your comb after you take out your weave. Remember, you had your hair braided for x time, and what you’re seeing is most likely shed hair.

11. Wait at least 7-14 days before you reinstall another weave. This allows your real hair to breathe.

12. Have fun with your weave! Remember you can enjoy different styles with a weave without damaging your real hair. Do you want some blonde highlights, a curly style or wet n’ wavy look? Go ahead, and weave it up! Uhmm .. you might want to stick with something that will look more natural though. If you’re 4a or 4b, stay away from silky straight hair.

13. When your scalp starts itching real bad, its either time for a wash or you need to oil your scalp. Tea tree oil helps with the itch.

14. Learn to stretch your relaxers. You don’t have to keep relaxing your entire head when you take down an install. If it’s going to be braided up anyway, what’s the point?

15. Tips on washing hair while you have a weave:
I picked up this great tip from BHM. Put your shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioner in separate water/applicator bottles. Dilute it with water, and pour it over your head so it reaches your braids. Gently massage your scalp, and rinse thoroughly. This works great!

16. Tips on blending natural/transitioning hair with weave. If you buy a curly/kinky weave and you're natural, you might want to try using flex-rods or trying a braidout on the hair left out. That will help blend your hair with the weave. If you buy a straight weave, you'll more than likely have to constantly straighten it so that it blends in with the weave.

17. To re-use hair weaves, wash in cold water. I put shampoo in a bowl of cold water and dip the hair in slowly. Basically, dip in...dip out till its washed. Do not rub in. Leave to air-dry.

Once again I splurged! Anyone tried Wen by Chaz Dean hair products? Heard so much about it and that it's great on thick hair. Anyways, I tried the Sweet Almond Mint Intensive treatment yesterday right after co-washing and I'm impressed. My hair is sooo soft, but donno how long it will last before my hair reverts to its 'beastly nature'.

Lepsywitty: am naturally fair in complexion until i started using on alaja cream in tejuosho with mama tega soap.

Really? ... the name alone

Ma'am, your bag is a Zara Shopper bag. They usually come with a small leather marking with Zara written on it - near the inner zipper and no logo stamp on the outside. No need to worry unless its an old edition bag, but it sure looks like a 1:1 mirror replica bag.

adiona: Kemi onu nsi, ur always looking 4 cheap publicity stunt. Jide kwa onu gi aka. Old cargo wey don enter voicemail.

LMAO @ onu nsi. Find it hard to believe Bianca stooped so low to write nasty comments on "these irrelevant people". Jealousy stinks!
