Hi dearies,
A lot has happened to me but in due time I will reveal and it will minister to you or someone you know. In another news, I had my natural hair out for a while and decided to protect it from the elements with this simple braided updo.

I was inspired by another hairstyle I did as a child in Nigeria popularly called ‘shooku’/’shuku’. My friend Bukky plaited half shooku for me and then I decided to twist the top of my head in my spare time. It’s kept pretty well for two weeks 🙂 It is safe to say that I am more comfortable applying lipsticks, practice makes perfect.

The best part to me is the fact that the total cost to my wallet was £5! It’s okay to look good on a budget, do not be pressured by others (learning to do things by yourself is the best way to being economical & adding your own personal touch). How are you protecting your hair currently? Let me know below.

Kisses,
Lady P

Thank you Lizzie! That is one hairstyle I am hoping to do next year with a little spin (faux dreads) plus need to make sure I can create office friendly styles with it.

Great hair, protective style is definitely the way to go (for someone like me longing for waist length hair, but currently at shoulder length)…big dreams right? Lol…great job.

Thanks Karen … It’s a dream but not a big one because everyone starts from somewhere before it gets to that length. Definitely not impossible to achieve and I am sure with consistency, perseverance and good hair techniques you will attain it. All the best in your hair journey 🙂
