Ladies, I can imagine the look on your faces but let's be honest, hair can sometimes be a problem during intimate moments in our relationships. We would do everything possible to preserve a hair style even to the extent of choosing how we lie during sleep time.  What would be your reaction if  bf/dh wants you to lay your head on his lap. You would make sure you tilt your hair to preserve your hair do! But have you considered the fact that these men are in our lives not only for our outward beauty but for our inner beauty? Do you wonder why you bothered to get the hair done in the first place? Ok, ponder over this. Your girlfriends will applaud you on your hair style but at the end of the day, the number one priceless comment will be what your partner says. Laughing? Yet, we get uncomfortable should our partner makes an attempt to touch the hair. Grumbling, frowning, mumbling things only we understand are some of the reactions we put up in defense of our hair style. The next t

Isn't it hilarious when your hair dresser can't read anything on a product? Isn't it ironical when your hair dresser gets angry because you brought your own hair products? Isn't it funny when your hair dresser gets frustrated because you kept telling her what to do? Isn't it absurd when your hair dresser charges you the same amount after using your own products? Isn't it comical when your hair dresser doesn't know the tool or product you are describing? Isn't it amusing when your hair dresser can't prevent  you from coming to her salon  after a disagreement?

Many of the fears we have concerning natural hair is related to our relationship with the man in our lives; whether our boyfriend or husband would be appreciative of our choice of going natural. Our situation in Ghana, perhaps, isn't different from what pertains abroad. Most Ghanaian men are accustomed to straight hair or weaves. To keep the natural texture of your hair might raise some concerns like: * Would he still find you attractive? One gentleman,  sjsafety18 , addresses this in his video and provides channels for handling such matters. Take a look at it.

We were at one of our morning assemblies when our headmistress requested the presence of all the girls in one of the classrooms. Several thoughts run through my mind: another exam talk, our skirt length, washroom hygiene etc. When we got into the classroom, she closed the door and the rest was a session with the head's pair of scissors! I can see you smiling because you've had such an experience back in school. Our teachers could turn into barbers at any time during school sessions. If you become a client, you'll go home with your hair looking like some mice  had bitten some parts off. All this was to curb our desire to grow to hair in preparation for leaving school. I sit down and reflect on whether the stress was worth it because keeping bushy hair has nothing to do with passing your exams. This practice has not ceased and until the " keep your hair in a low-cut" policy is changed, we will always have a school barber. Share your experience diva! Emprezz

The Bohemian hair style is a quick and easy hair style for either relaxed hair or natural hair. The beauty of this hair style is that it doesn't require much braiding to create. It can also protect your hair against moisture loss and breakage. If you can't create your Bohemian style, just employ the services of a hair dresser to do it for you. You can also add extensions for a fuller look.

Do you think a tree just turns up as a firewood? There's the  saying that "body no be firewood". Well, i agree! You have to cut down the tree, allow it to dry up, take it home, chop it into pieces and then you have your end product - firewood. By the way, not every wood  can become firewood. How's firewood related to hair? With our hair, we have fantasies that one day, we'll wake up and all that we have to do is brush our long "mane". We, however, forget  that the European ladies we strive to imitate have their own hair care system. They spend time on forums reading about what to do to their hair. What do we do? Wake up, *comb the hair, put it in a ponytail and off we go until the next wash day or touch up.

We can get stuck up in old habits that seem proper. We still sleep on cotton pillow cases, don't tie our heads in satin scarfs or use cheap conditioners that end up aggravating our hair problems. I'ts true that the economy is "hard" but can we at least save some of the money we spend on scratch cards? By the end of the month, with as little as 5 Gh, we can afford products like: 1. a good conditioner (with 5 Gh, you can get an Optimum or ReFlexion conditioner) 2. leave-in ( 6 Gh for a bottle of One Step leave- in) 3. oils eg coconut oil or sheabutter from Accra central or Madina market (1.50 Ghp for any oil) 4. Rollers (2 Gh for a set regardless of the size)  So for the rest of the year, let's put in more effort to have some stable products for the salon visit.  Your hairdresser can also help you find what works for you so talk to him or her! Let's see the change! Emprezz

 I give the relaxer to my hairdresser but she doesn't read what is written on the relaxer box and proceeds to apply it. Me: "Please make sure you don't spread the relaxer to the tips". Hair dresser: "ma ti (I've heard you)" I sit for 10 minutes for the relaxer to  work. Me : "e shi shi me (it's burning me)" Hairdresser : "just wait for a minute more so that your hair can relax" (the popular believe that the longer you sit, the better the effect) Me : "I can't wait". "Wash it out quickly"
