Braiding problems

Helloy lovelies.. Trust you all enjoyed wonderful last weekend f the month. I am sincerely wishing you all a more happier and fun filled month.

A very big thank you to all my sponsors, readers, subscribers, up voters and commenters 💗💗

So sorry this today's article is coming very late. I have been passing through cnnectivity problems throughtout the day.

Over here, there has been a restriction in vehicular movement and commercial activities. This has always been the norm in my country. There's this policy that set aside every last weekend of the month for general environment sanitation .

Every citizen is expected to remain at home and be engaged in the general cleaning of their environment so as to promote hygienics in our fatherland. This exercise usually last from 6am -10am and any moving vehicles sighted would be conisticated by the authorities.

Looking out of my window, I spotted one or two vehicles being held by the local authorities for breaking the rule. Shortly,a fine would definitely be paid to a cop while the driver waits in the car till 10am when he would be allowed to move. Children can also be seen jumping happily on the empty highway while young adults engage in a game of football near the children, leaving their parents and the elderly to do all the clean-up at home.

Well I slept quite badly and woke up with a lot of pains in my head. Actually I came around twice in the night before morning due to the horrible headache I was having on my crown.

My new braids made me uncomfortable throughout the night, I kept turning my head from side to side on my pillow in the hope of getting an appropriate relief point, but it seemed like the more i spin, the more painful it gets.

I finally got off bed in the middle of the night out of exasperation. I couldn't get ice to apply at the pressure points cause there was no electricity.

Before getting the braids done, I already knew it would hurt a little but I also knew I could hold in the pains for a day or two then it would be good. By the way, I don't like taking pain relievers if i am sure that a pain will go away soon , especially when i ain't sick. I should have bought a specific hair oil to apply at the pressure points on the braids but it skipped my mind when I was at the market yesterday.

Braids are very beautiful you know, especially when you whirl your head side ways, the image of yourself you'd see in the mirror is pretty nice. Lol.

But due to the little pains a new braiding might give, most women prefer to fix their hair instead. Another snag is that a really splendid braid might take over two hour or even more before completion .

Of course its not every lady that would find the patience of sitting that long on a particular spot in making a braid that would still be disentangled in a relatively short time when it loses its glow and appeal.

You can get quite dull sitting that long at a spot while your stylist work on your hair especially when its mini braids. I past the time by listening to some good music with my headphones , and soon, we are done.

When I was younger, I sometimes playfully call my younger brother some silly names when he's done a silly thing. Shortly after, he would go behind me when I was not looking and drag one of my new braids and would not release them until I start screaming in pains. I think thats his best form of having his revenge as he always smile afterwards.

Recently a neighbor of ours had a little squabble with his wife because she took too long at the braiding shop while she left the kids at home.

The kids were not left on their own perse. She kept them at our place and we had already fed them before her husband returned home. Maybe the man just had a bad day at work and was unconsciously venting out his frustration on the poor lady. Or maybe he was actually hungry at the time.

I heard the woman responding to her husband in a sharp voice" had it been the two children were girls, i would have taken them along to get their braids done too. But since they were boys, they had no business in a female saloon and i just had to dump them at home while i go get my beautiful braids".

Her husband stood speechless when he heard this and the young lady angrily went into the house. I found this very amusing and I couldn't help laughing at the young man.

Sometimes ago, when i had just recently had a braiding, I met a female soldier at an event and she told me she really liked it. But unfortunately, she couldn't have the type of hairstyle because of the nature of her profession. She said she wouldnt even like to fix extensions or wear a wig. According to her, it made her feel weaker. She preferred to keep her hair on a low cut always, like that of a guy and honestly, she looked smart and beautiful in a unique way.

A lady's hair is her natural endowment and a young lady Should strive to always keep it beautiful through what ever way she deems fit,so long as it makes her glow and more confident in herself.

Whenever a woman gets a new hairstyle, even though she doesn't deliberately show it off, she is sure to get one or two nice complements about her hair which will surely give her a boost of self love and confidence.

"Hair doesn't define a young woman, but a nice hair surely helps "
