The Secret Under My Wig… Nobody’s Gonna Know! 👀😂

Sis, let me tell you the honest truth—what’s hiding under this wig is not for the faint of heart! But today, I am letting you in on the ancient protective style that’s been growing my hair like the cedars of Lebanon! 🌱

But first, do you think they’ll figure out what’s underneath your wig? 🤭 Nobody’s gonna know... unless you tell them! And guess what? I AM telling you! 😆 So grab your tea, sit tight, and let me share the secret to growing long, healthy African hair naturally—without stress, breakage, or spending your whole salary on hair products! I also made a video tutorial revealing this secret under my wig in steps. Watch the full tutorial here







The Great Detangling Process

My hair has been through battles and won! If my strands could talk, they’d tell war stories about breakage, shedding, dryness, and the single-strand knots that tried to test my patience. But today? Victory belongs to my scalp! 🙌🏾 To prepare my hair for styling, I had to detangle it properly—because trying to braid tangled hair is like fighting principalities and powers! You can’t win that battle without a strategy! So, I reached for my DIY Ayurvedic Daily Moisturizer—a true anointing oil for the strands! 😂 This miracle blend contains: 

🌺 Hibiscus (Zobo) – Seals in moisture, strengthens roots, and adds shine to my hair. 

🫘 Fenugreek Seeds – Prevent breakage, thicken hair, and combat shedding. My hair can testify to this. 

🌿 Neem & Moringa – Detox the scalp, prevent dandruff, delay greying, and nourish hair follicles. 

🖤 Black Seeds – Because if Cleopatra used it for beauty, who am I to ignore it? 😌 

🍯 Aloe Vera Gel – Hydrates like a tall glass of cold water on a hot day! It also balances my scalp's pH level. 

With this mix in my spray bottle, I parted my hair into two sections (because division brings order, even in haircare! 😂). I worked in two sections and for each, I detangled in four mini-sections, twisting each one after detangling. 

And here’s the secret sauce:

✅ Start detangling from the ends to the roots!
✅ Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers first.
✅ Be gentle—treat your hair like royalty, not like Samson in battle! 😆

I kid you not, this moisturizer has been my saving grace! Just three months ago, my hair was going through the wilderness—dry, breaking, shedding, and filled with single-strand knots. 😩 Life was life-ing, stress was stressing, but God and Ayurveda said, “Not today, breakage!” 🙌🏾

After trimming off about five inches in November/December 2024 (yes, FIVE! 😭), my hair is finally bouncing back with volume—a true testimony!


Parting & Prepping for the Ancient Protective Style

Now that my hair was detangled like the roads of a well-planned city (smooth and tangle-free 😌), it was time to section and braid.

And brace yourself for this next part, sis… because I didn’t use extensions, wigs, or even braiding hair. Instead, I used… sewing thread! 😲 Yes, the same sewing thread your tailor uses to snatch waists and fix torn seams is the very same thread our ancestors used to grow waist-length hair effortlessly!

Why Threading?  

• Locks in moisture and prevents dryness.  

• Keeps new growth stretched without heat damage.  

• Protects ends from split ends and tangling.  

• Reduces breakage (because let’s be honest, too much manipulation is the enemy of length retention).

How I Did It: Watch the full tutorial here or follow the steps below:

🪡 Step 1: Secure the root by wrapping the thread 4-5 times (Think of it like securing your destiny in prayer! 😂)  

🪡 Step 2: Divide the section into three and braid like your rent depends on it!  

🪡 Step 3: Once the strands became too thin to grip, I simply tied off the ends with the thread.

And just like that—my regrowth was safely tucked in, ready to flourish! 🌱


Why This Style Is a Game-Changer for Hair Growth

Sis, let me testify! This ancient style has been a MIRACLE for my hair because it:  

✅ Protects my regrowth from matting and tangling.  

✅ Keeps my ends tucked in (goodbye, single-strand knots!).  

✅ Allows me to moisturize and massage daily without messing up the style.  

✅ No scalp pain = No dandruff (because dryness and tight braids used to have my scalp looking like the Sahara Desert! 😭).  

And did I mention it’s PAINLESS? Because I’m too grown to be crying over braids! 😩


Why My DIY Ayurvedic Daily Moisturizer Works Wonders!

If there's one thing I've discovered, moisture is essential on the quest for long, luscious hair! That’s why I’m all about my DIY Ayurvedic Daily Moisturizer. Let’s dive into why each ingredient acts like a protective charm for my locks:
