Its been while i had written anything but i am back to cheer up your day. Ladies love to look great , not just good but great. Everyone of us, women want that really fine texture, bounce and luster to our hair. I know as a African, the natural kinky hair or dreads are back, and looks so cool on a lot of ladies. I still have my hair treatment chemically to stretch it out because its thick and my hair personally; in its natural state when combed gave me headaches.
If you had read my earlier blog on what i discovered from the internet about Aloe vera and its effective in regrowing already balding scalp. As a lover of all things "try it out" from the internet, i did and using the extracted gel in raw form worked. My front hairline has grown and its thicker than before. So now I use Aloe vera as my edge control when i have braids on, when i brush back my hair in a bun. Its so cool no side effects, sometimes you might feel an itch.
So you can understand my enthusiasm on having all these grey hair turning back to dark brown(my original hair colour). Why not just DYE your hair back? you might ask, well it so happens that my hairstylist and I discovered that i am very allergic to dyes. I mean i had used Henna, Local and foreign dyes with the same rashes and weird looking dandruff popping all over my scalp.
So i surf the internet and saw a couple of videos and the link below on how easy it is to use Aloe vera mixed with coconut oil to condition your hair and it also turns grey back to your original natural colour.

Wow! i did it for like 5 days straight and waited for another week to see if there were any remarkable changes. The amazing results was NOTHING HAPPENED. Those grey hair were there loud and proud, and are popping even on my front hairline now.the mixture didn't work, so i went back to check the videos on U-tube and i realized one thing. they were all white people. Maybe it works for Chinese, Indians and Europeans.
the lesson for the day, I learnt to love my hair with all the grey bits and its shines pretty well and give me that distinguish and sophisticated intelligent look. So now i just flaunt my hair with cool hairstyles and feel cool with myself. Now and then, I do get so nasty remarks from the elders(Women in their sixties and above", comments like " Don't you think you should be ashmed of looking like an old woman" or " Young lady, does your hair not itch you?"
My response is to smile because i am not afraid to age with grace.
The Moral of my story is that even if you try something new, don't let it change you. I am very okay with dying your hair, cutting your hair, using extensions or whatever choice you prefer.
My advise to ladies reading this story, Please have a healthy outlook of yourself. By this, I mean think beautiful, eat healthy, rest early, throw your worries to God and it will reflect on your body, hair and health.
