DIY homemade body wash - 100% natural

  In a bid to find an escape from bad skincare and hair products, you can choose to make your own. There are good natural product brands now in the market that are affordable but some days you might just feel like inventing products in your "small home factory". The advantage is that you are in full control of what ingredients you use and they do not really cost much. Plus you will do your health and body good since your concerns are that the product are natural as possible, free from parabens, sulphates, artificial additives and what nots, that endanger health and the environment.

Much said, I will like to show you how you can make your own Body wash and Natural hair shampoo.
  This DIY product has its major cleansing agent as the raw african black soap. Raw African black soap is made from plantain ash, cocoa pods and palm kernel oil/coconut oil - all natural. To make this suitable for hair, the pH of the soap needs to be adjusted to that of the hair. This is done by superfattening with oils and/or juices to reduce the alkanity to appropriate level suitable for hair. Hence,  prevent loss of hair protein and moisture.

    Here is the process of preparation

Use
1 cup of Warm/Cool water (choice)
African black soap
4 tbsp Olive oil
5 tbsp  Honey
5 tbsp Coconut oil
4 tbsp Castor oil
2 tbsp Aloe vera juice/lemon juice

Learn to make your own Aloe vera gel/juice here

This DIY body wash doubles as a natural hair shampoo. It has been my body wash for the past four months before I gave a break to try out Coily crown Baobab softening shampoo  for a body wash.

Procedure
*First wash your hands and any tools you will be using like the spoon and containers.

*Break the black soap into pieces as much as could fill 1 cup and place it in the warm/cool water inside a bowl.

*Add the other ingredients.

*Stir gently. Don't bother over stirring to dissolve the soap. Just leave to rest for some time it will dissolve completely. Then stir a bit. You can dilute it more with about half to 1 cup of water if you want a more watery solution for bath.

*Pour it into a clean empty plastic container with applicator tip.( You can as well get an empty container of a bad shampoo, wash it and refill it with your own).

*It separates and settles after sitting for hours. So shake a bit to mix content before use.


How to use on hair
Pour a sizeable amount into your palm
Rub palm over hair gently and massage shampoo into scalp to get a good clean.
Rinse your hair well with enough cool water .You can condition your hair, if necessary and/or you do a final rinse ( I will write about some final rinse options in subsequent post).
Then wrap up your hair with cloth to dry excess water.

Follow up with a leave-in conditioner and then style.

There are different hair types, so it might work differently on different hair types.

Try it out on your skin. It lathers so well and deep cleanses, clearing blemishes gives you an even skin tone and more of the benefits of raw african black soap. You will be glad you did.

What natural skincare and hair products do you make yourself?

The Beauty of Crochet Braids $ Tips For Installation

Crochet braids is gaining much popularity in Nigeria now more than ever. Its a trend, but it looks like one of those that is here forever to stay because of its advantages over other braiding techniques.

To start with, crochet braid, as the name implies, is the use of special crochet hook (latch hook) to install braids on hair. The crochet hook is looped under the cornrows and secured.

The crochet braids used, can be already twisted hair, wavy, curly, kinky synthetic/human hair. In this post, more concentration will be given to already twisted crochet braids.


Advantages
* It is a super time-saver when compared to the time spent to make on box braids or twist. You can get a full head of braids/twists in 3hours or less. Isn't that amazing?

* It is gentle to your hair and protects it. The crochet braids are wrapped around the cornrows, placing little stress on your hair roots and scalp.

* It is DIY friendly. It is so easy to make at your convenience. For me, evenings and night times are free times to do my crochet. I can't imagine calling in a stylist at that time of the day.

*It can be styled immediately after installation unlike others that you will need to wait days to weeks to style.

* Uninstalling crochet braids is so easy. While I don't mind spending time to make braids, box braids,twists or faux locs, I always dread taking them down because I prefer to do it gently myself and that takes so much time and stress.
Additionally, you can remove and add braids to your hair easily after installation to suit the fullness you desire.

* Some say , it is budget friendly. But that depends on the brand, style, volume and hair type.

* It does not need glue or chemicals like some weave sew-in techniques do. It is safe.




Here are some tips you need to know about crochet braids before installing them:


* Always prepare your hair before installation by properly detangling, washing, deep conditioning treatments and moisturizing with your leave-in-conditioner.

* Consider the condition of your hair. If you have chemically treated hair(relaxed hair) or thin hair, you will need to add braiding hair to your cornrows for a stronger base. If you just relaxed your hair, wait a few days before installation as your hair is in its weak state moments after relaxer use.

* Take care not to braid the cornrows tightly especially at the edges to avoid tension and tugging.

* During installation, the crochet braids at the front part of the of your hair and the likely visible parts during styling, should be done properly for a more realistic look.

* Use specific crochet braiding cornrow base patterns for specific crochet braid hair styles so as to have good coverage. If expertly installed, people will need to get too close to confirm you have crochet braids on your hair.
