Happy New Month!
In my last post , I said I was going to redo the whole dipping process because I wasn’t happy with the results I got. I did that three days ago because I became sick the next day.
This time around, I used my mum’s coconut oil all over the kinky hair because I thought it was dull and I didn’t want to use my precious castor oil, I put the hair in 10 big braids and my friend helped me dip in really hot water. The picture on the left is from when I loosened the braids about 20 minutes after the whole dipping process while in the picture in the right, I tried separating the curls a bit.
I’ve really been enjoying this hair even though I’m not a fan of black hair and I’m thinking of dyeing the tips, but it’s really easy to maintain. I use my spritz daily on my natural hair and on the kinky hair whenever I feel like then seal with my castor oil every other day. At night, I put the hair in one big loose braid, wear my satin cap and sleep!

Thanks. Hopefully I’ll get a good camera by New Year for better pictures, my phone camera sucks.

Oh mine do too! When I started Black Zulu I decided to invest in a proper camera because looking back at my blog prior to this – the pics were ghastly!
I hope you do get that cam – fingers crossed 🙂

Well I did go for a fancy one, Nikon D3200, coming in at US$500 but that’s because I love taking pics when my girlfriends and I go out and the quality I get now far exceeds what I used to get with my little point and shoot cam. But there are many point and shoots that take good quality pics – once you set them good and proper. Just read through the reviews girl 🙂 Good luck!!

Lovely! You wear big hair so effortlessly. You just inspired me with the dying idea. I think an ombre look on kinky hair will be fabulous.

I’ve tried crochet braids before and I’ve always felt like the part in the middle of my head was too wide. How did you avoid that

Wherever you want the part to be, let the braids there be clustered. You can draw the kinky/bulk hair across two braids to prevent a wide part. Hope this helps!
