Where have we been?!'


Ok so we have both been MIA for  while. What happened?....LIFE happened! Things got a bit crazy for a while but we will be making sure to upload new posts.
I have a lot of cool stuff to share...hairwise J I got my cousin to bring me a bottle of Jamaican Black Castor Oil from the States. I LUV it!!!! So I'm gonna do my next post discussing the benefits and uses of JBCO. A brief summary is that it is great for sealing as well as helping to regrow edges...i ain't mad at that! It is not yet readily available in Africa, so a good substitute is the refined castor oil you find in the stores. Yes, the same one your mum used to make you take as a child.lol! i never got that experience but have heard this remedy from many people.
As mentioned in previous posts I stopped relaxing in September 2009. I am so keen for my fro to just grow grow grow! The main frustration with natural hair, for me at least, is that even though it grows long, because it is kinky it appears shorter due to shrinkage. My hair falls below my shoulders when stretched but if i do a wash-n-go it looks about 8cm long L So i intend to use JBCO as a hair growth aid in 2012. I want to show off my fro by summer 2012. It is time.
I will also be stocking up on some products while i am on vacation. I am keen to get my hands on the Eco Styler gel so i can start rocking some nice styles in my hair. Probably the best part of my holidays are when i take a day to visit the hair shops in Finsbury Park,London. *cue choir singing...aaaaaaahhhhh* Pak’s Stores! They have a shop for wigs, another for weaves, another for products....oooh chile! I am in love with that place. So look forward to some product reviews. I know I said I would try and curb the product junkie within me but i just cant help myself! "Hi I'm Linda, and I'm a hair product junkie!"
