5 TIPS to glowing FLAWLESS skin this Summer

HARARE – The silence from this platform is on purpose. I had a heartbreak to deal with, had to take time off and reconnect with those that love me and forgive those that cannot.

However I noticed my skin has a glow… a glow indeed. And given my extra time I am outchea looking at peoples skin and going hmmmm also how my skin changes in Summer.

Winter is okay for me but the extra sweat can be bad for acne and rashes… euw not cool reacting to sweat so here goes for the selfie ready people for skin that glows (If you have allergies and a skin condition… visit a medical doctor)

1. Drink Water and Eat Well

Yes H2O is key from the heat and hydration. Moisture is an internal process too. Reduce salt and sugar as they dry out skin somehow. HYDRATE is key.

If you drink alcohol flush it out or stop drinking booze for a while.

2. Get enough Sleep

Insomnia isnt good. Bag eyes are a no no when they can be avoided. Reduce caffeine dependency and drink chamomile.

3. MASK regime

A clay mask helps a lot to reduce oil buildup on the face. Store bought or creating bentonite clay mask… find your fix.

4. Have inner joy

Women in love glow. Those who have guy problems are dull. Be it a man. Accepting yourself or journey in life BE HAPPY. Have hope Have Optimism Set rules on who you are…define it yourself and define what joy means to you. Glow from the hope and celebrating your life journey.

5. Have good foundation and face filters

Find the light and filters that give you flawless skin if all fails. Also know your makeup. I use Maybelline dream matte mousse and another Black Opal flawless in the middle of my face

I WOKE UP LIKE DIS!

ok maybe not

#FESOChallenge: Brand New FESO Hair Mask Review

HARARE – The sun is not being friendly to my strands as they have dried out so much lately thanks to the weather changes. One day is scorching Next its freezing.

So FESO has a new hair mask they have available at Curtleys Zimbabwe in Mt. Pleasant as a hair treatment. For $15 one gets the FESO treatment and blowdry at the saloon. So seeing the state of my strands I knew I needed to get it done.

Starting state, tangles and knots and extremely dry strands and hair that needed a moisture boost.

After two washes the FESO treatment was put on my scalp and dry strands. A deep condition for 20 minutes in a shower cap and in the drier using heat helped hair seep in the mask.

During the treatment I felt a cooling effect on my scalp from the mask which made the heat part of treatment bearable.

After 20 minutes I got a gentle rinse and my hair had transformed instantly softer and detangled.

Then it was my favourite part…the blow dry. Drying in sections with heat protectant serum, I realised the knots that had driven me crazy enough to the salon where an easy run through and no need for moisture boost before blow drying.

Another great thing is economical usage of the product. No need to use more than about three tablespoons of the product for an effective hair treatment, it really works as a little goes a long way (with the way my afro is big this is good news). This is unlike the need to drench hair in a treatment when you have super dry strands.

An observation is how my strands feel like they have reinforcement and are stronger than previous times I have gotten a blowdry after treatment.

Definitely the formula is doing something unlike others in the market. Even the plaiting of my strands is such a breeze. FESO does it again..winning formula.

To finish my blowdry I got myself some shea butter on my strands to seal in moisture.

FESO and Curtleys Zimbabwe is a holistic haircare service developed and trained by Dr. of Trichology, Dr. Kuda Mupawose who developed a hair solution in Zimbabwe using traditional knowledge and science.

– The sun is not being friendly to my strands as they have dried out so much lately thanks to the weather changes. One day is scorching Next its freezing.

So FESO has a new hair mask they have available at Curtleys Zimbabwe in Mt. Pleasant as a hair treatment.

For $15 one gets the FESO treatment and blowdry at the saloon. After seeing the state of my strands I knew I needed to get it done.

Starting state, tangles and knots and extremely dry strands and hair that needed a moisture boost.

After two washes of shampoo, the FESO hair mask treatment was put on my scalp and dry strands.

A deep condition for 20 minutes in a shower cap and in the drier using heat helped hair and scalp seep in the mask. During the treatment I felt a cooling effect on my scalp from the mask which made the heat part of treatment bearable.

After 20 minutes I got a gentle rinse and my hair had transformed instantly softer and detangled. I was like woah…pain free. Knowing how much I dislike salon experiences with natural hair.

Then it was my favourite part…the blow dry. Drying it in sections with heat protectant serum, I realised the knots that had driven me crazy enough to the salon where an easy run through and no need for moisture boost before blow drying.

Another great thing is economical usage of the product. I used about three tablespoons of the product for an effective hair treatment, it really works as a little goes a long way (with the way my afro is big this is good news). This is unlike the need to drench hair in a treatment like other hair masks suggest when you have super dry strands.

An observation is how my strands feel like they have reinforcement and are stronger than previous times I have a blowdry after treatment.

Definitely the formula is doing something unlike others in the market. Even the plaiting of my strands is such a breeze. FESO does it again..winning formula, it takes one to experience this to get how awesome the feeling is.

To finish my blowdry I got myself some shea butter on my strands to seal in moisture.

This hair mask is going to give hair companies a run for their money. And of course after my protective style a FESO spray on the hair that is on the road to recovery and staying long.

#FESOChallenge Using FESO for natural hair care regime

HARARE – Going natural was never a decision on health or the effects of relaxers on our health. FESO has updated my hair care regimen and its working out well…it helps that it is developed by a Trichologist specialising in African hair type, Dr. Kuda.

So when I started the journey with FESO I had gone through the same issues I incurred with my relaxed hair…excessive shedding and my fine hair would break.

Me today SEPT 2017 after my hair had too much growth put this style in myself.

So I was open to anything having used FESO it improved my hair thickness for my sister’s wedding hair…all natural.

THE RESULT…in a few months I have grown my hair from not so.healthy damaged neck length to armpit length. My hair is done by Curtleys Salon and Spa owned by the same business mogul and it has also been managed to get me with great protective styling options.

Through product and hair services Dr. Kuda is sponsoring my hair with product and hairstyles.

#FESOChallenge by Ngosikadzi Concrete Jungle is on Facebook

My Hair Care Regime:

• My daily haircare involves the LOC method, spraying water on my hair (I add extra virgin oil or olive oil to it) + FESO Water and Oil hair growth spray + FESO shea on scalp and ends (I do this when my hair gets dry sometimes water does the trick). Massaging the scalp helps.
• After every hectic hairstyle I do a Deep Conditioning Oil Treatment. Excessive drying occurs from use of extensions.
• No microbraids and after my hairline suffers boxbraid drama I treat with FESO haircare.
• I use Shampoo with teatree and olive oil added to treat the itch, The Moringa range with Schwarzkop shampoo which solves my scalp itch. I found sulphate free didnt solve my itch in scalp.
• Protective styles that protect ends and chunky twists.
• I dry my hair in sections and before wash I use detangler cream (Aunt Jackies Detangling lotion is boss!)

And picture evidence of my hair growth is here. You can see where I began back in April. The latest is August where I am arm pit length

8 APRIL 2017

The growth came curly and blacker even before I undid my hair

chunky twists

Growing Natural Hair naturally; 3 weeks into the #FESOChallenge

The #FESOChallenge Facebook group is growing, almost a 100 members. So far with my hair, I have noticed growth and health. So a summary so far of what has happened so far:

Week 1: 8 April – ASSESSMENT

I got a hair analysis in the scalp clinic, for a nominal fee of $10 for assessment one can see hair health and density. My scalp has DHT residue and needed a scrub and DC.

After a wash and blow dry my hair, looked OK and brownish

8 APRIL 2017

Protective Styling, then having told Kuda Mupawose the owner of salon and FESO brand; she gave me a protective style.

My hair!

WEEK 2: New Style New Hair

I sprayed the feso HAIR growth and used some FESO shea, and I had new growth from the week.

The growth came curly and blacker even before I undid my hair

It was nice to feel the curlier hair pattern from new growth, I guess my hair follicles were younger and healthier.

I had length of 23cm and my hair felt nice and softer and cotton like.

One week later, hair on the right is longer and blacker

Length check 23 cm

thicker puff

My protective style was chunky twists pinned at the ends

chunky twists

WEEK 3: OIL TREATMENT AND WET TWISTS

At home I did a conditioner wash using just Oil Treatment mayonnaise and got my wet twists at Curtley’s, and I am in love with, them, I never want to let this hairstyle leave.

I love how they look like RASTAs

chunky twists are my favourite

I love the wet twists from Curtleys because these are like the first ones I got installed, only now my hair is much longer

First time I had locs about a year ago…

Week 4 will see what happens…

Stay tuned on the page

Growing your Natural Hair naturally…introducing the #FesoChallenge

HARARE – Natural hair has now exceeded being a mere movement, but it is now a way of life in Zimbabwe. Corporate naturalistas are making their mark in their kinky Afros, no need to be told our hair is “unprofessional”. My natural hair is growing, however it has reached a stunt, much like my hair when it was relaxed.

So I am creating a #FESOChallenge by Ngosikadzi Concrete Jungle BLOG, I am inviting all those interested to join a Facebook group and participate in the challenge to grow their hair naturally or follow the progress.

Three years of Natural Hair…

Do not believe all the hype about Natural Hair, it is a different experience for every individual. Three years I have soldiered through the rough times and hair errors. 2013 was big chop, surely I should have super long hair now…eeerrr no!

Holiday hairstyles inspired by 2016 POP culture

The holidays are nearing and it is always about that hairstyle you want. You know the hairstyle for all your selfies, a “woke up like this” look you know.

So we did the research for you with a few pop culture celebrities who slayed so much you might want to emulate the hairstyles. OK at least copy one of them!

Review: Ultimate Organic Coconut Oil #NaturalHair

There comes a time you become low manipulation for your hair to grow. In twists they go and be oiled that way.

Remember that conditioner and oil are your hairs bestfriend, natural or relaxed it is very important.

Thanks to Ultimate Organic Zimbabwe – for the product testing of their COCONUT OIL

And here it goes.

Simplistic protective hairstyling

I have become extremely busy these days. Starting a new job with different challenges, daily battles with sexism can exhaust me. There is no reason for me to lose my hair because of all the stress.

Time to get my hair done can be scarce as time is not on my side. So here is what I do to protect my hair.

About these natural hair Facebook communities

As part of my hair journey, I have been a fan of the growing communities on hair. Unfortunately there is a major disadvantage with online hair support groups I have figured out, even as a follower.
