Hello Ladies
I can’t believe we are almost at the end of October already. I am back from my holiday which I enjoyed more than I intended to. Majority of the work I planned to do just didn’t happen. I am behind on everything!!!! But I am back to reality and have been eager to update the blog in a more helpful way. And that brings me to my next point…..videos!!!!
I was always adamant that I would not create videos for Hairducation because I felt it would be too time consuming and I know absolutely nothing about video editing, lighting, etc. However because I haven’t been consistent lately with blogging I thought I should go the extra mile in making it up to my readers by creating my very first video ever!!!
The fact is some things are better explained by video. I tried to write a blog post on how I detangle and finger comb my hair but realised quickly that a video would be more appropriate. As I am typing this up I don’t even know how to upload videos to Hairducation but I am sure I will figure it out.
(It turns out I cant and have to re-record the whole thing. I had to set up a You-tube page which I did. But the file is too large for me to upload the video to YouTube because the network/signal in my area is soooo poor it just isn’t working. I even went to an internet café and still no joy).
I intend to get on re-recording asap. In the interim please see my hair and product update below.
HAIR UPDATE – WIG REGIMEN MODE
I put my hair in 24 box braids whilst on holiday and I transitioned to my wig regimen.
I wore my Hair By Type 4 “Runway” wig which is a part of the R collection whilst on my break. I used to think the wig was a little on the long side but now that my hair is the same length it feels pretty normal. My own hair is not that thick though ( I wish).
Going to pick up my niece from school but first………
Again I was really slacked with hair care whilst I was away. On this trip I cleansed my scalp with wipes a few times but only moisturised twice in over three weeks…..#badhairblogger
My hair seems okay but it is quite dirty and my scalp is a little on the itchy side. I am about to start unravelling the box braids to wash and give my hair a much needed deep condition. Fingers crossed the neglect hasn’t done too much harm to it.
PRODUCT UPDATE
I had a good stash of hair products before my trip but off course I stocked up a little bit. As you can see I decided that I really like the Herbal Essences Hello Hydration conditioner and have decide to include it as one of my moisturising conditioner options.
You may also notice the huge jar of Motions Moisture Plus Conditioner. I mentioned in an old blog post that I would be giving this up and replacing it with Tresemme Nourishing Moisture. Although I still have a lot of “respect” for the Tresemme conditioner, when I was deep on my stretch it didn’t seem to moisturise my hair as well as the Motions did. So for that reason I decided to re-introduce Motions Moisture Plus into my regimen. I think I am going to stop fighting the fact that I like a conditioner that contains mineral oil. I guess it’s just meant to be.
Other products I stocked up on were coconut oil, rosemary and peppermint oils, Cantu Shea Butter leave in conditioning cream and S-curl.
I intend to spend the next few days playing catch upon all your emails, responding to questions and settling back to work.
The next blog post will be about food for growth, ie what we should be eating to help us grow healthy hair fibres and shortly after that the detangling video should be up. See you again soon.

Good morning. I noticed your Scurl is not quit the same as mine, please how can I make an order for Luster Scurl?

Hello Ese
I do nit sell hair products> Companies do change their packaging from time to time. So long as you bought your s-curl from a reputable store it should be a genuine product.
Hi Lade,
I’ve practically dissected your blog, tried to read almost every page. Great, great work you’ve put in. I salute your hardwork.
Please I need some hair consultation with you. Plus, how much do your wigs cost?

It’s great to have you back! I don’t do YouTube videos for the same reasons—getting over the filming learning curve, finding the time, editing, etc!
I love the thickness on the ends of your unit. Is it heavy?

Hello KLP
There’s definitely a lot more work than I thought involved. But my biggest hurdle is the network issues.
No the wig isn’t heavy at all. If only I could get my own ends to be that thick
Looking forward to seeing the video 🙂
I like the Organics Hair Mayonnaise and it has mineral oil in it. For a while I tossed and turned over it but it is what it is. It’s not my favourite but when I want to, I will use it. Because it works. And the new formula of the Cantu Shea butter leave-in reportedly has mineral oil in it, towards the end of the list. Is this the case with your own? And do you make full wigs, or closures? I have kinky hair and am considering protective styling with wigs next year.

Hello Ekene
Let my start by saying I LOVE your hair. If I was natural I would be pineapple-ing my hair all day every day.
I love your approach with Hair Mayonnaise…if it works for you then its cool.
My Cantu does contain mineral oil however it still leaves my hair feeling as good as the old formula.
Currently we only make u-part wigs but we hope to make full wigs with closures early next year,
Hello Lade, how are you, i discovered your blog only a few days ago, i have transition 7 years ago and my hair has not done what i have discovered mostly on youtube and that is grow, it has somehow decided that it will remain only 10inch and during this time i have had two beautiful baby girls, my first child i lost most of my hair and no one could explain why this was happening to me and the second i grew some of my hair back, but of course i lost most of the length i regained. my hair is very soft, but i do not like touching it because just a simple touch and it will come off in my hand. I am here because i would like to know how long do you leave your texlaxer on your hair for, my hair is chemical free? Kind regards

Hello Maxine
Thank you for your email. Sorry for the late response. I hope your hair is in a better state.
with regards to my texlaxer, after applying the relaxer I leave it in my hair for 5 minutes max.
Please note that I weaken my relaxer with a teaspoon of olive oil and apply some olive oil to my new growth.
Please also note that your hair may react differently to my method.
Do not relax your hair till you have gotten to the bottom of your breakage issue.
