Roller-Setting Natural (African) Hair
January 3, 2013
This post was motivated by two occurrences: (1) my renewed interest in roller-setting my natural hair (2) noticing that not many African natural-hair bloggers post/talk about roller-setting, and a desire to help debunk the myth that “African” hair is not amenable to roller-setting… What started it all… Over the Christmas holidays, when time became a […]
Girl Crush by Jodie Patterson: A Discussion on Female Beauty
November 22, 2012
I am on holiday and am making the most of my time off by doing a whole lot of nothing. Extremely decadent stuff. In the course of my “doing a whole lot of nothing” I came across this short video, Girl Crush by Jodie Patterson, collating the perspectives of various women on beauty and the […]

On Natural Hair, Detangling and Bantu Knots
October 21, 2012

There are a million and one fantastic YouTube videos and websites providing information on the who/what/where/when/how of Natural Hair, and considering I’m not one to post photos of myself online there really isn’t much of a […]
Braided Updo for Natural Hair
August 3, 2012
Happy Friday! I am one of the laziest people in the Natural Hair World: I’ve gone through the various phases of a newbie natural (style experimentation, obssesive hair forum/blog reading and YouTube video watching, product-junkieism) and settled into a natural-haired version of my formerly relaxed-hair self: i.e. I’m very low maintenance. I’ve tried roller sets […]
Happy Friday + Sartorial Splendour
June 8, 2012
My mom would often tease a neighbour about his state of sartorial splendour whenever he dropped by for a seemingly casual visit dressed in the traditional Yoruba men’s agbada, dripping in the sort of ostentatious lace that reinforces masculinity amongst West African men but is staunchly feminine in the Western world.
