stay home and wash your hair

on my way to work this morning,i met my neighbour outside,she was sitting on a couch in her balcony and we exchanged pleasantries as we always do,she is a work from home business woman and has no fixed office hours,she looked at me and said"ninnie its a relief that i dont have to go anywhere early today"
i smiled and shook my head...."lucky you," i replied
"yea,i ll just stay home and wash my hair,put on a dvd and relax"
As i drove off to work i realised that in all the years,that i had been working i had never taken out time,infact it hadnt ever crossed my mind to take time out to do something as mundane as stay home and wash my hair,and i kinnda realise that i am somehow missing out on the simple pleasures of life....not really the washing my hair part cos i dont think i l do anyone a favour except of course my scalp,but just relaxing,letting my hair down and just relaxing
well...that has definately got to change ,i am not so far away from 35 anymore and i dont wanna look back and see the best years of my life wasted and for nothing...
i have an adventurous spiritand il be damned if i let my life pass me by without so much as an "ahhh'moment
here is my tip of the week,since we are talking hair

Do You Know The Different Black Hair Types?

Find out which one of the black hair types you have.
There are three main types of black hair; wavy, curly and kinky. I’m a coily type 4a. What are you?
Don’t waste your time and money on hair products and tools that won’t work for you. Take a minute to figure out which one of the unique black hair types you have and let that guide you to the products, tools and techniques that work best for your hair.
Look at the characteristics of each hair type to figure out which one you have.
Remember, this is for your hair in its natural state, so if you’re relaxed look at your new growth to decide.

Type 1 hair is naturally bone straight hair that’s not typical of black and mixed black hair.

Type 2 - Wavy Hair

Characteristics
Also known as type 2 hair, wavy hair commonly has these features.

Soft or deep waves and little to no curl.
Coarse and stays close to the scalp in long "s" shaped curves.
Doesn't usually have a lot of body.

Care Tips for Wavy Hair

Invest in a good boar bristle brush to keep your waves smooth.
Use a light moisturizing hair gel to add definition to your waves.
Deep condition regularly and use a moisturizing leave-in.

Type 3 - Curly Hair

Characteristics
Also known as type 3 hair, curly hair has a unique texture.

Fine and soft "q" shaped pattern.
Doesn't have a lot of sheen.
Has lots of body.
Straightens when wet and curls as it dries.

Care Tips for Curly Hair

Only use wide tooth combs. The wider the better.
Use deep conditioner every time you shampoo.
Use leave-In conditioner daily.
To reduce frizz don’t brush your hair.
Don’t use towels to dry your hair. Air dry or blow dry on medium with a diffuser attachment instead.

Type 4 - Coily / Kinky Hair

Characteristics
Also known as type 4 hair, it’s the most highly textured of all the black hair types.

Very tightly curled and wiry.
Driest of all the types.
4a hair has a looser 'coil'. Strands have a spiral shape.
4b hair has a tighter 'kink'. Strands have a zig-zag shape like the letter "z".
Most fragile of the types.

Care Tips for Coily / Kinky Hair

Comb and detangle your hair when it's wet and coated with conditioner.
Always use a wide tooth comb, your fingers or a hair pick to detangle.
Deep condition your hair with protein and moisture to keep your it healthy and strong.
Use a daily moisturizing leave-in.

Knowing which of the black hair types you have is the first step to creating a good regimen. .

Women's Rights, a OneWorld briefing

hazy weather today

the weather in nigeria is going bonkers,we are actually supposed to be slipping into the raining season,but fortunately or unfortunately we are experiencing one of those weird changes of nature.
this is going to make travelling horrible because flights and cars are going to have a difficult time getting people whare the should be on time...........
oh!well,heres to all the travellers today and throughout this weird haze, to pls listen to the weather people and be safe.
heard CNN and BBC warned of acid rain in nigeria...
there goes the outdoor plans of a million or so nigerians
but the truth is the rumours(and they are )are just that,so it is safe to say that while you still need an umbrella when it rains,one rainy day between the 21st and 28th isnt the skin cancer killer we should all be avoiding.

true wife confessions:the new internet sensations

well,well,well.............i have come across so many blogs about women who are the perfect wives,mothers and business people and i wonder,truely that do these women ever fall short of this perfect life at some point or the other in their lives????/
its kind of scary to think that i could not love my husband anymore,or that i can resent his behaviour sometimes and i shudder to think after wanting marriage for so long and wanting kids for even longer that i can feel resentment for BEING a wife and a mother,till i read this article and then i thought well there are some people that are feeling like i do sometimes...dosent make it right though,just makes me feel a little more human and less like the devil

True wife confessions: How women's real-life stories became the new internet sensation

Shelly writes poignantly about the state of her marriage. Karen blogs shamelessly about her secret life as a serial mistress. Amy reveals all about her adulterous affairs ...Suddenly there are any number of websites devoted to women's real-life confessions. But who uses them, and why?
