Despite the fact that I spend almost the entire day on her, I hardly have time to do my own hair,” Timre man oso no hab bangi ” (the carpenter’s house has no benches). To be honest, I’m not the type to worry too much about my appearance. I think being healthy is the most important thing. So to keep my body and mind healthy, I exercise, but apart from that I just do the basic things to keep my hair healthy and to look reasonable. So I go for little fuss and low maintenance.
This is one of my basic hairstyles, 2 kwi-kwi-ba braids and a middle parting. The parting needs some practice, but the kwi-kwies are going pretty well, don't you think?
To prevent the braids from coming loose, I decorated them a little with wooden beads at the bottom.
Shelf life: 3 days to 1 week
Recently, against the advice of my old hairdresser, I had my hair cut. It is really a myth that you don't need to cut frizzy hair, unless you have dreadlocks, but that is a whole different story. Natural frizzy hair also has split ends, you can often feel them. If the ends of your hair feel uneven, you know that you have dead ends. But you especially notice when you are untangling that it is time for a haircut. The knot has not yet formed and your hair is tangled again. Split ends cause the hair to remain knotted and therefore even more brittle.

My book describes in detail how to make Bantus yourself. For a change I had them done professionally.
A lovely summer hairstyle, airy, low maintenance and multifunctional.
If you sleep with a headscarf at night, it will stay in place for at least 2 weeks. After that, you can still walk around with twsts and a twist-out for a few days.
The Bantu barber passed with flying colours. For the first time I fell asleep while my hair was being done.

I have worn extensions for years, this is low maintenance. It is just “get up and go” and if done right, your hair will grow well.
To give myself and my hair some rest I wanted a hairstyle that would last a bit longer for a change. Not a new hairstyle for a few weeks, but just a nice rest for at least 2 months. A hairstyle with extensions.
Shelf life: 2 months.
Unfortunately, these cornrows were braided way too tight. This was before I found the aforementioned Bantu hairdresser. This hairdresser will never see me again and for now I'm done with extensions.
