My Weird Online Bullying Experience.

It's funny how some things happen and you literally laugh it off but later you realise that it actually was not cool in anyway and even though you let it slide, how about people who are more vulnerable to such negative behaviour?

Such was my experience over a 3 week period last month - I had posted a video on Instagram showing me with Henna in my hair and initially the comments were questions about henna and its benefits etc. The video then got featured on the Naturalista Channel and thus got more views from men and women alike the world over and that's when the nastiness started.

I had people saying I looked 'nasty' or 'ewwwww' 'yuck' or  I should go take a bath; or I had poop in my hair, or my favourite 'wash your nappy hair, thanks' lolllllll Like seriously!!!

It now got to the point where I had other people championing my cause so for instance in response to
the 'wash your nappy hair thanks' message, someone said 'kill yourself. thanks. To which he replied 'at least my hair will be clean when I die'

Our Beautiful Brides (and bridesmaids) Slaying Their Natural Tresses!

It's been too long since I did a bridal post so I have decided to do a long overdue one - bringing us up to speed on all our gorgeous brides (and bridesmaids in some instances)

Meet Jennifer - gorgeous bride with simple tastes. She had a train of 5 and we helped style them all!

I can't believe it's been 2 weeks already! As always, the year is racing by like no man's business! Anyway, thank God for a successful opening and Beard Line Launch! We are so grateful to all those who took time out to honour our invitation and came to spend some time with us as we formally opened our Lekki branch and launched our Beard Line.

My 'Her Given Hair' U Part Wig.

If you've read a couple of my posts you would have noticed there are 2 things I absolutely love - Crotchet braids and wigs!! I also like big hair so I'm very partial to afro or curly textured extensions. When it comes to 'Human Hair' extensions for natural hair, the ones I've worked with and love are Heat Free and Her Given Hair so when I got the chance to get my very own Her Given Hair  U Part wig, I was over the moon!!

Just like most other makers of natural human hair extensions, there are 3 types of textures - Kinky, Coily and Curly. In my experience, the Kinkiest textures are typically very hard to maintain and I really wasn't in the mood to handle 2 heads of kinky hair (counting mine of course) So I opted for the Coily texture which is somewhere in between Kinky and curly.

KLS Lekki Branch is Now Open!!

Praise God!!!

Goodness me! It's been such a whirlwind of activity in the last month! We had originally planned to open late December but trust artisans in Nigeria - that was not to be!!! "We will finish today", "no it's tomorrow", "no the wood is not ready", "the sand was not received". Honestly, exasperation doesn't even begin to explain how I felt (and still feel actually) with these workers!

Anyway, we have been able to overcome most of the delays and opened up shop! We're at Flat 1, 11A, Kayode Otitoju Street, Lekki Phase 1. On Admiralty way, turn at Tantalizers unto Admiralty Road and take the 2nd right. That's it!! We're on the ground floor in the building adjacent to Edgewood College (right under Just Gerry's)

I decided that we'll start now and overcome our teething problems before the place gets really busy and thank God we've been good!

Loving My Inverted Braids Plus Cornrow Combination

Hi everyone and Merry Christmas!!! Trust we've all been eating and having a merry time this holiday season! I'm sure I've gained a few pounds already but I shall not think too much of it - I shall go into operation melt the pounds off in the days to come :)

It's been such an incredibly busy time what with the season, trying to get the new place ready and a million other things happening at the same time! I knew I wouldn't have time to worry about my hair so decided to put it away in a protective style - but this time I wanted something a little different from what I would usually do.

KL's Natural Beauty Bar Is Coming To Lekki!!!
