I love hair! The second thing I notice about someone after their eyes
is their hair. I mean all of their hair, facial and what's or what's
not on their head. Being an indigenous African and female I have a
fascination with all hair styles natural, relaxed and manufactured. It
seems that unless you're really wealthy in Africa the quality of hair
and hair care that you get is extremely variable and visibly poorer than
our sisters in the more developed worlds.
I'm on a search to find the best hair products for the indigenous African woman whether she has locks, natural hair, relaxed hair or a blend of any of the above and wigs, weaves, braids and all fixtures in between. I'm really interested in weaves and wigs because I am known for my love of braids. Much like Brandy in the '90s my perennial hairstyle is some form of individual braiding. There has been a recent craze within Harare for Brazilian products and lace wigs which I will definitely check out in the course of my research.
I have relaxed hair but recently fell in love with a weave made by called Diva…I love it! Mostly because it suits my personality and even though I've had it for over a month quickly going on two (I normally will stretch weaves for a maximum of six weeks before removing it) it still feels awesome to walk into a place and know I'm not the only one who loves my hair. I will admit that I have a vanity about me when it comes to my hair and I'd apologize but if you ever bump into me when I'm leaving a hair salon grinning like crazy and seemingly floating on air you'll know I'm being modest when I say I love my hair.
There is just something about going into the day with the confidence of beautiful, vibrant, sexy, chic, well-styled hair that doesn't fade. A bad hair day for me can kill the vibe of awesome clothing. I love to dress up and if I can't dress up I like having a complete look. I often change my clothes to suit my hair, if I get inspired to style my hair professionally despite having chosen a casual outfit I will dress semi-formally rather than let the hair style go unaccompanied into the world…that is just me. I know it sounds crazy and those who have seen me on a bad hair day will wonder if I'm not lying but I swear to goodness if I'm in a good mood so is my hair.
I will be making a hair trip to neighbouring South Africa soon to explore the goods of a company whose braiding extensions thrilled me and see what else they have on their shelves. Stay tuned to be in on where I'm going and what I'll be looking for. Until next time…get your mane on!
