My Moisturizing and Sealing Routine for Harmattan (2017)

By
It's just fair that this dry weather is met with serious moisturizing and sealing routine. Moisturizing has to do with using a water based product and sealing is done with oils or butters. I follow the liquid, cream, oil routine (L.C.O) as I find that to be a better option during this harmattan weather.
To effectively moisturize your hair, you definitely need to apply moisture first. Using oil first is like wearing your trousers before your underwear. You block out any moisture loss when you seal with oil that us why you need the water first before sealing. 

For each month of 2017, my moisturizimg and sealing will be planned for the month for effective routine.

For January, I planned my hair routine ahead of time to reduce the amount of time spent on organizing my thoughts Lol.


  1. Spray the hair with rose water 

  2. Apply a bit of Mielle organics avocado hair milk

  3. Seal with my oil mix. 



 I do this at night because my morning schedule is whack! I try to sleep with a bonnet to maintain the moisture. In the morning, I simply scoop the hair into a bun. This routine is done daily for maximum moisture retention. 

I take my hair supplements at lunch time and that ensures consistency in my routine each day.

On Wednesdays, I plan to co wash for extra moisture. Don't you love it when your hair is long enough to bun even with all its shrinkage?

How I make forever Clair Skin care products work for me

By
I've heard ladies complain about the forever Claire Skin care products  not working for them. Well, I nearly became one until I tweaked how I use it and since then, it's been a jolly good ride.
I started using the Forever Claire products in July 2013 or so. What I've been doing is to using a cleanser first before applying any of the products. Well, I discovered the reason why the product didn't seem to be working well on its own.

When using the cleanser, I'll dab a bit of cotton in it to clean my face. Apparently, it wasn't the cleanser that was doing the work, it was the cotton. The cotton was getting rid of dead cells by acting as an "exfoliating" material. It was cleaning the skin surface.
One evening, I skipped the cleansing and decided to follow Hubby's method of cleaning his face. I used my sponge to gently rub the FC product on the face. This face scrubbing technique left my skin feeling soft and smooth just like when I use the cotton and clea…

How To Use Chebe Powder and Oil On Relaxed Hair

In case you have relaxed hair and wondering if you can use chebe powder the answer is a yes.




All you need is to be able to plait your hair or twist up. You can also use cornrows.
To prepare the chebe mixture, add a few tablespoon full to a creamy product. I usually recommend your moisturizer or butter for a good hold.

Shampoo and condition your hair well and apply the chebe mixture. Plait up the hair and leave it for at least 7 days before reapplying the chebe mixture.

When you are ready to wash out, which could be in a month or whenever you want, just shampoo the hair and condition as usual.

You can use the mixture again for another couple of weeks.

In case you need chebe powder or chebe oil, call or whatsapp 0541458372.
