Hello Everyone. It has been extremely cold here in the UK and I have noticed the change in the way my hair has dried out, so I decided to start protecting it by wrapping it up in this lovely turban style which I copied from the lovely Youtube sensation Laila-Jean from Fusion of Cultures . Laila-Jean is one of the Youtube guru's who have helped me in my natural hair journey with her endless knowledge and bubbly personality. Love her channel. I'm a firm subscriber :-). I love head wraps but I don't experiment with them as much as I love them. With both wraps I used my satin bonnet underneath to stop the scarf from drying out my hair even more. There is also a link below of Laila-Jean's tutorial to this wrap and a few more. Please ignore the crappy makeup, hahahahaha. Enjoy :-) Black Scarf - Random Shop (Magenta) Stars and Stripes Scarf - New Look Black Cross Earrings - Internacionale Feather Earrings - Internacionale Lipstick - Kate Moss Matte Lipsti...

Hello. The title says it all. I am embarking on a new challenge. Yes I will be trying to keep my hair in  protective braided styles for the next three months. Yes I am giving the fro a little break. I got my hair cornrowed with extensions on the 31st of July to start my big challenge. This style will be left in for three weeks until I get my box braids for my birthday. I can't wait. Here are a few photos of hair when it was done initially. Hope you like it :-) Thanks For Dropping In :-) Love Miss AfroDee xxx

Hello all. So my birthday is coming up soon (August 20th) and I have been looking to give my natural hair a little break. I have worn this style in the past in my teenage days and I loved it then and I surely still love it now but I fell in love with it even more when I saw the gorgeous Solange Knowles wearing this same protective style. Yes I am talking about the versatile Boho Box Braids. Do you love it or not? Let me know what you think. Love it The Solange Knowles Take on Boho Box Braids I may not go that long but I am definitely doing it :-) Thanks For Dropping In :-) Love Miss AfroDee xxx

Hello Everyone. So I haven't done a Bentonite Clay Hair Mask for months now but I really felt like doing one today. I love the results of a Bentonite Clay and really don't know why it's took me so long to give my kinks a good dose. I didn't think of creating a blog post about this until after I had applied the mask but hope you get the idea. Enjoy!!! Bentonite Clay Hair Mask Mix 5 Heaped Tablespoons of Bentonite Clay 1 Teaspoon of Honey 2 Teaspoons of Olive Oil Sufficient amount of water  Usually I would use 1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar instead of water, but I run out of my stash, lol. Mix all ingredients to form a pliable paste adjusting  as required. NOTE  Depending on hair length more or less of the ingredients will be required. Use a plastic bowl/container and plastic spoon for your mixture as Bentonite Clay minerals reacts to  metals. I normally start my application from the back and work my way to the front, as it makes it easie...

Hello My lovelies. As  promised here are  some photos of my Natural Hair Journey so far. Be prepared for lots of silly photos. I don't take myself to seriously so go on and laugh with me, lol. Patience, Perseverance an Confidence is key. I Love My Natural Coils :-) Enjoy!!! THE BIG CHOP Literally. I got the scissors out and started chopping everything off and then the clippers came out after. I know I look greasy and spotty *side eye*) Then Came The TWA - Teeny Weeny Afro Then Came The Growth Spurts, Twists and Cornrows There Were A Few Protective Styling Stages - Mainly Kinky Braids, Wigs and Yarn Braids And Now THIS..... I must say I have not done everything to a T. I am still learning a wealth of new and interesting things about Natural Hair and the best way to grow healthy hair  whilst being patient for the length. I have an abundance of inspiration from these ladies just to ...
