Hello Guyzies last week I shared with you that I’m on a healthy
hair journey but I feel like we need to go back to the beginning so that I can
track my progress with you.
I have to add that my hair could be sooo much longer but
then I decided to bleach it 2 years back (June 2017 and I regretted it
immediately) now that I look back on it was the pregnancy hormones getting the
best of me, I didn’t even know I was pregnant at that time I think I was around
2 weeks 3 weeks into it. It’s been a struggle however I’m glad to say that most
of that fragile hair is now gone and I can focus on the healthy bits.

Another thing that I was hoping wouldn't happen was post-partum
shedding and thank goodness nothing huge came off,which I’m grateful.
So right now how I style my hair is in a Benny and Betty
style wash/conditioner it every two weeks and apply my hair foods and oils.
This year I would really like to wear my hair out a lot and
not depend on wigs.
I will be watching an lot of hair tutorial, and one blogger that
I have been watching is
((Miriam Maulana (Beauty & Hair Vlogger)) and I toughly enjoy hair channel and how informative it is when it comes to detailed tutorials.

Hey guys, welcome back to my blog.
Hope everyone has been keeping well and okay I really cannot believe that
I have not relaxed my hair in 2 years.
Not relaxing my hair has been the best decision I have ever made, my hairline is
back I just wish that I didn't
bleach it last year June (I blame it on the pregnancy hormones though).
When I did my big chop I followed a lot of blogs and watched a lot of YouTube Channels and all I can say is everyone's hair is different,
what might work on someone else might not work for you do a lot of research.
Ever since I had my baby I have been stressing on this "postpartum shedding thing" and really there is nothing no one can do about it, hair will shed
that is just the natural process of life, I also feel we can control how much it sheds though.
For example my hair is best kept when I have the benny and betty style (minimum shedding and quick and easy to maintain)
Then I went on to do box braids (worst mistake), because I didn't know that my hair would tangle and shed in bulk loads when I took them out.
No amount of part products could have saved this one because I left them on for too long.
I'm babbling.....
Get to the point......please.
So lately I have been doing the following which my hair has been loving, wash my hair once every two or three weeks (yes I said three weeks)
but in between every 6 to 7 days I would untie my hair, first by (spraying Long & Lasting Activator Spray) just to make my
detangling process a bit quicker and better plus the spray is affordable and moisturizing, after untying my hair I would go in with my hair foods
Long & Lasting Triple Oil Rescue and Excel-E Nourisher just to add more softening and nourishing products especially in between the parts that don't usually get products
.(You can use any spray or hair foods of your choice here I'm sharing the Long & Lasting products because they are working for me).
I will do a more in-depth 2 year natural hair journey soon, however I'm glad I did this post it has been on my mind for a while.
Hope you enjoyed today's post.
See You Soon.

Hey guys, hope all is well and okay.
Today's post will be quicker than an Instastory - FOLLOW ME
I recently shared my hair after a long month of not washing it totally terrified that it will fall (cause postpartum shedding is real and I have seen my girlfriends hair shed like crazy after giving birth).
My hair did not shed too much however I noticed that it is on the drier side of things lately.
I will be keeping it moisturized and all but I just hope I don't lose too much hair guys, I'm really not in the mood of starting over my natural hair journey.
I'm using soo many products to retain moisture it's crazy.
Do you have any tips to stop postpartum shedding?
I will keep you guys posted, wish me luck cause I need it.

REVIEW | WIG WASH DAY ROUTINE USING TRESemmé KERATIN SMOOTH
Soweto, South Africa
Hey guys hope all is great and okay and your Christmas plans are coming along really well.
Other than spending money on a new wig this season how about washing and conditioning the one's that we already have and the best product that works for me is the
TRESemmé KERATIN SMOOTH Range.
I have shared a YouTube Post showing you step by step visuals on how I keep my R1200 Human Hair wig from StyleDiva still looking great 14 months later.
The claim:
The tag line that TRESemmé use for their Keratin Smooth range is: "Fed up with frizz? Our redesigned formula, with luxurious Marula Oil, delivers not 1, but 5 smoothing benefits that give you silky, frizz-controlled hair for up to 72 hours*.
*TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner system vs. non-conditioning.
The product:
The TRESemmé Keratin Smooth is all red and white, and if you know about all the available TRESemmé ranges then you would now that this is one of their most distinct ranges interms of colour as you can easily find it on the shelves which makes the packaging really great for me.
The shampoo and conditioner also comes in a generous 750ml pack which you can get minimum 2 months worth of use when you wash your wigs on the weekly basis.
The new baby in the family which is the Shine Oil comes in a 50 ml bottle that is transparent and allows for you to see the oil,
which I'm not complaining cause a little goes a long way here.
My experience:
Firstly the shampoo and conditioners are really thick and not watery
which means that a little goes a long way and all one needs to do is dampen their hair a bit and use a little product, which I had to learn the hard way cause the products I used in the past on my wigs would be watery and require alot of shampoo and conditioner for the previous product to go out.
Another product which is similar to the conditioner but not really is the Deep Smoothing Mask
which I think is the need to have product when you want to make sure that
your weave actually is frizz free and
easy to style once air dried.
My Verdict:
All I can say is if you have a wig/weave and you need this range because it will
ensure that the wig is kept well conditioned and frizz free, plus if you can spend R1500 upwards spending +/- R250 on products to maintain the hair shouldn't be that bad.
Hope you enjoyed my review and demo video.

Lots of Love
