NAUGHTY (knots) HAIR// Beauty

A HAIR DILEMMA

Since the start of the pandemic, and all the lockdowns and restrictions, there was one thing

we haven't been able to do. GET A HAIRCUT: (was possible, but i felt not safe to go)

At the start it was about shoulder length, now its above the waist.

So after such a looong time the hair became longer and longer. At first it was fine, but the longer it got the harder it became to keep it from tangling . Anyone else have this problem??

This week I tackled the knots and matted area at the base of the neck. WHAT A PAIN!

After the major comb out it was time to wash it .

The PROCESS

STEP 1

use a shampoo with conditioner

a 3 in 1 shampoo

STEP 2

Repair and care conditioner without paraffin

I had to apply extra to the matted, knotted parts and let sit

30 minutes at least.

then rinsed out with tepid cool water.

STEP 3

once completely rinsed out , time to work on the knots and matted part. Let hair dry , then using

a wide tooth comb and slowly working on sections to remove the knots.

This is the longest process and take times.

The matted section , taking the comb try loosening it by sticking the comb into the mat , then with fingers gently wiggle the hair, pulling gently to loosen the matted piece. Repeat till the mat is completely removed. If no luck the only other option is snip, snip.

TIP

Key to keeping knots or tangles out is using a conditioner on your hair.

Something i had not done. The conditioner smoothes the surface of the hair strands , so hairs slide and

don't get hooked causing the tangles then knots.

Product used Pantene ProV which i have used in the past. works well for

my hair type. I have used professional hair products also. So whatever product you like

should work.

But now it is time for hair cut!!

No more KNOTS for me!

KEEPING IT SIMPLE

I like the look of this simple pony tail

, but there are so many ways to style longer hair.

From the low bun to a top knot.

I wear mine mainly tied to the side or clipped back.

How do you wear your hair, long or short?

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work here Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui
