Embrace your natural hair workshop and other stories

Happy Saturday!

So on this side of the world 25th May is Africa Freedom day and in Zambia it's a recognized bank/public holiday so the whole country had the day off. The ladies of Embrace Your Natural Hair took this as an opportunity to hold a natural hair workshop and what a great decision that was!

The day was amazing beginning with the weather, the venue, he speakers and ending with the lovely goodie bags we left with. I chose to keep my look simple and went with white and nude tones for both my outfit and my make-up. I finished it off with my signature bun and chitenge head wrap.

 

Is that your hair?

Happy Choose Day!

It was mother's day this last weekend and Social media was buzzing with people shouting out their mamma's. I love mine! We spent most of the week bonding and I'll have a Mother-daughter post for you out soon.

So my hair: I know I haven't done an update since I put up my regimen last month but believe me, I have been taking care of it, enjoying it and changing it up. At the beginning of the year I decided I was going to give myself a protective style challenge (along with my castor oil challenge) and keep my hair in protective styles most of the year. It's been going great and because I do my own hair (and have time on my hands, for now), I can switch it up quite easily before I get tired or when I get my three week itch. I've been trying to keep styles in for at least three weeks at a time (to stop my hand-in-hair syndrome) and give it a break for at least one week. You can have a look at the different styles I've had on my Instagram (preview in right hand sidebar)The length retention is REAL! I'd highly recommend this to anyone who's trying to grow out their hair, whatever state it's in; natural, texlaxed or relaxed.
