Thermal Cap

Thermal Cap?

So I tried a thermal heat/ steam cap today. 
I haven't deep conditioned my hair in a while so I decided to do so today.  
I sectioned my hair into about 12 single plaits.  Washed it in those plaits in preparation for my deep conditioning. (I find that my hair is easier to manage and manipulate when I section it in single plaits or twists.) 
Then I mixed organics deep conditioner,  a mixture of coconut oil,  castor oil and peppermint oil and then my Taliah Waajid herbal conditioner and applied this mixture unto my hair,  massaging deeply into my scalp follicles.  

I plugged in my  steam cap and sat under it for about 20 minutes while watching 'Generations'...Yes, I watch 'Generations'. *covering my eyes*

I then rinsed out the mix with warm water Afterwards, my hair came out so so shiny and soft.

Next, I undid the plaits and applied some leave in conditioner and Creme of Nature's Argan Oil Foaming Wrap Lotion and set my hair with the smallest sized bendy rollers, letting it air dry.

I ended up with some nice loose curls and I was a happy bunny after that!.

Voila...the end!

Please, if you are on this page, kindly tell us how you deep condition your hair. We could learn some things off you that could work for us on our hair journeys.

Here are some pictures...enjoy!!

Sabirah's Story...does it sound familiar?

I went natural in October 2009. 

As cheesy as it may sound,I went natural because I felt I wasn’t being true to myself. I was at a stage in my life where I was asking myself a lot of important questions about who I was and why I did the things I did. It had never occurred to me that having natural hair was an option for me so as soon as I realized I could do it I went for the big chop.

It was exhilarating and scary at the same time, the week that I first cut my hair ,I found myself wearing lots of make-up and jewellery. I probably looked clownish. Soon enough though, I got used to it and came to love my short hair. As it grew, I changed too. My hair added an edge to my personal style and became one of my favourite features. It also  became a great conversation starter.

Over the past years, I've tried various styles and my favourite are definitely twists, braided styles and updos. I never quite became the product junkie, I just stuck to what worked. My hair regimen has always been no fuss; water, good oils and butters and the occasional styler.

Being natural has been fun for me, I love the versatility, I love how different natural hair looks- no two people have the same head of hair, and I love the positive message it sends. 

Embrace who you are, fully!

 I totally adore updos and I like to try my hands on different styles. 

  The beautiful thing about an updo is that you can create one with anything. ..as long as you have some hair on your head.  Yes! Even with short hair,  you can create some kind of updo.

What is an updo anyway? 

Personally and simply put, it is when you create a style pushing all or most of your hair to the top and centre of your head and creating different kinds of styles with your hair placed at the top of your head.
Updos accentuate different looks and you can rock one for many different reasons.

Rock an updo.....

* when you have had twists installed and are tired of leaving them hanging down
*when your hair refuses to obey you and is getting on your last nerve
*when you have that fab wedding/event and what to look all elegant and glam
* when you are in a quick hurry and don't have time for any major styling
* when you want to protect your ends from the elements
*when you have some new or interesting hair accessory that you have been looking to rock
*when you are having a bad hair day and trust me,  there are many days like that

...bottom line is that there is always a reason to rock an up do.

All you need are:
♡ loads and loads and loads and loads of hair pins at your disposal. ..I mean loads!!! Lol.
♡lots of creativity and imagination
♡a mirror
and you are good to go.

Here are some pictures of updos I have tried along the way.
