Quarantine has me killing my hair 😭

So...

 I kinda killed my hair…



As-salaam alaikum people. It’s been a while. How are you all?

Now let’s get into today’s post…

 

If you remember, I was in Lagos a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, while I was there, I treated my hair amazingly until one day; I was in dire need of washing my hair. You see, there was a ton of residue and stuff on my head, which made my scalp super itchy and made my hair feel heavy.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get shampoo at that time so guess what I did. I washed my hair with laundry detergent. Yes, you read it right. I foolishly saturated my hair with water then applied soap on it. At first, my hair seemed okay but you see, after every wash, I deeply condition my hair and that was before I decided to wash my hair with soap.

I also did not moisturize my hair after I brutally harassed it. My hair washing process is usually using a hair treatment for at least 2 hours, shampoo, and then deeply condition before air-drying (zero-heat) and braiding.

I sectioned my hair and air-dried it like normal then two days after; I prepared to comb it because I have to comb it daily if it’s not braided. I run my fingers through it first to make it easier to comb it. The texture of my hair seemed foreign but then I ignored like the fool that I was. I ran the comb through my hair hearing a disturbing sound. My scalp was dry, my hair was dry and I felt harassed.

I quickly got my moisturizing hair cream and started oiling my scalp and hair fearing the worst. Fast forward to three days later and my hair feels better. Suddenly, the nightmare continues.

Split ends!!!!! I was so angry with myself and my hair but I continued treating my baby because I love her.

Long story short, I nearly killed my hair then was miraculously able to save it. I keep thanking Allah every day.

Does quarantine have you ruining your hair? Feel free to share your stories in the comments’ section.

My next post will cover my hair-care procedure for natural hairrrrrr.

Also, even if you probably don't read my blog, happy birthday Mohammed. Wishing you Allah's Rahma and Protection. WULLNP and enjoy your day💟🎉.

Thank you for reading and as always stay safe and Allah hafeez my lovelies!

"I'm sixteen. I repeat sixteen..."

Assalam alaykum my lovelies. It's been a long, long time but I'm back temporarily. Wie geht's? Yeah, I'm learning German .  So... my dressing. Guys being mature is a good thing right? At least looking mature should be a good thing right?! As you all know I'm in Lagos right now learning German and well... I've been told some weird stuff in this little period of time. It's a known fact that my dressing is on the conserved side meaning that I limit my dressing and I watch what I wear and stuff like that. Well... when did I start looking like someone's mother or someone's wife? I mean, I went to pick my cousins up from school and from afar, her friends  (referring to my female cousin) claimed that the lady they were seeing(Me) must be her mother (my aunt). You can imagine my reaction when she relayed this to me. I almost went ballistic. Some days before that day, I went to the super market. So some people doing advertising for a company that pr...

Just Because...

Hi guys. Well I've been trying to act like some one I don't know. I think I am starting to feel like going to university is starting to hit me badly. Is it bad that I want to be myself when everyone wants me to grow up? I haven't even started undergoing the transition and I'm already freaking out. I might just punch the next person who tells me to grow up in the face. Honestly I'm a strangely violent person but i try not to let it show too much. Anyway,the thought of getting new friends, classmates and being in complete control of my life is a really frustrating thing. It's amazing how people actually feel happy to be going through this transition. Come to think about it... I actually want to study medicine. How am i going to react eventually? i want to hear opinions on whether people believe that this crazy fifteen year old will be able to adapt.  May the almighty Allah bless you all. Looking forward to hearing your replies. Please reply in the...

Relationship Advice From A Single Girl #3: SELF LOVE!

                 Assalaam alaikum my lovelies. This post in one of the hardest I can attempt to write. SELF LOVE . To love one's self.  That doesn't necessarily mean going to spas, getting pedicures and etcetera. In this case, I mean to love one's self despite all the irregularities and imperfections we have.  Let me even ask Myself this question. DO I LOVE MYSELF?  I barely do. Honestly the struggle is real. When I look in a full length mirror, I see my thighs that are too fat, my stomach that isn't flat enough, my arms too muscular, my face too acne prone, and the list goes on.  I don't think about the people that wish to be in my place. I have similar to suicidal thoughts sometimes. It's not even because of my body. It's because of people's perceptions of me. Maybe I'm too annoying, I'm too intimidating *trust me, you're not the only one shocked by this*, I'm not worth it and etc. It's strange how we like belie...
