DIY: HOW TO OMBRE DYE HAIR.

Hey guys, how are you all doing? Hope you had a fantastic weekend just like i did. I pray this week will be awesomely good for us all. We'll see how it unfolds. :)

On to why we are here guys, this a long over due post, but I just had time to put it up. Thank goodness.
I love ombre effect hair so much, I have seen it in so many colours from blue to purple to pink to red and green. I also don't think it's a thing that would go out of fashion anytime soon even though it's been rinsed out.  I love the fact that it's so different and i decided to give it a try. I've had few clients that are scared to do this themselves but it's actually very easy to do and it's also cost effective. You can't go wrong with it really.

For this tutorial i used 4 bundles of Big Wave Brazilian hair courtesy of Sleektouch hair, I have used this hair like 4 times repeatedly and am very happy about it, it stays true to the curls and sheds a little. I also used it because i intend to straighten it out and put it in a pin up curls rather than a slightly tight curl. I was quite happy with the result, you can give it a try too.

Below are detailed pictures and illustration of what i used and how i did it.
Enjoy! and please comment, subscribe and ask any questions after.

I love to use the Jerome Russell Bblonde highlighting kit because it gives me a good result. It's salon quality and has all the essentials in it. I've tried the dark n  lovely dye but wasn't very pleased.

Now Let's start.

Mix the cream peroxide and bleach together and stir until it forms a complete blue paste. As shown in the  above picture.
I then began to apply the dye on the hair from about half way down using my relaxer brush, putting a little bit at the top to have the highlight in some other parts of the hair. (as displayed below)

I call this cooking time (lol)  I wrapped round the foil to make sure i get the full results and I left it for about 30 minutes. The timing depends on the effect and colour you want to achieve (follow the description on the box)

I use Tresemme colour revitalizing shampoo and conditioner. I love it because it's specifically made for colour treated hair. You can buy them from boots, Costco,super drug and possibly most pharmacy.

I use the soaking in a bath method to wash most of my hair, as this gives me enough room to wash all the colour and dirt off the hair. I then used a wide tooth comb to comb out the hair to get it back to it lustrous state.

My drying method is the airier method as this makes it dry faster. More also the blow drying method might completely straighten out the hair and you might not want that.

Below is the picture of the end result after drying. I love the fact that it went back to its normal curls.
For deets on this hair please leave a comment. It's Sleektouch Brazilian Big Wave hair. I also provide custom dying services as well as fitting at very affordable price

Thanks for stopping by. Have a fab day.:)

NIGERIAN BILLIONAIRE FOLORUNSHO ALAKIJA UNSEATS OPRAH AS THE WORLD BLACK RICHEST WOMAN!!!!

Nigerian oil tycoon Folorunsho Alakija 62, is now the world's richest black woman. Her estimated fortune is $7.3billion. According to Forbes Oprah Winfrey is worth $2.9 billion.

The Mother of  four started her career as a secretary in a bank in the mid 1970's, she mentioned in one of her talk videos that she expected a promotion after she had done a banking course which she came 5th in, and moved in as a Treasury officer. She left the bank when university graduates were put above her.

She moved to England to study fashion design, following the completion she moved back to Nigeria and started her own fashion label, Supreme Stitches. But her biggest break came in oil.

In 1993, her company, Famfa Oil, was awarded an oil prospecting license, which later became OML, It's one of Nigeria's most prolific oil blocks, by persident Ibrahim Babangida.

The company owned 60 percent stake in the block until 2000 when the Nigerian government unconstitutionally acquired a 50 percent interest without duly compensating Alakija or Famda Oil.

In May 2012, Alakija challenged the acquisition and the Nigerian Supreme Court reinstated the 50 percent stake back to her company.

She also runs a charity called the Rose of Sharon that helps widows and orphans by empowering them through scholarships and business grants.

More power to your elbow, May your growth never run dry.

I am really indeed inspired by this and i pray we will all be great and rich in all areas of our different life's not necessarily pockets but wisdom is needed to do the right things in life. God will grant us the grace to take the right steps.

BE INSPIRED!!!

DENIM & COLOUR

Hello Guys! How was your weekend? Mine was fab and busy as usual. I hope this week will bring great things and all we expect will come our way by God's grace. So sorry i have been missing in action for few days and i got told off by my small daddy for that lol, but and back now so let's get cracking.

It's been a long time i did an outfit post so i decided to do one for you guys today. It's all about the Denim Top Trend.

I have been seeing the denim top about and i fell in love with it. I paired it with an orange pencil skirt and a tan shoe.

I was aiming for a retro kind of look, which was why i wore those shoe because it has a retro feel to it. I think i succeeded. I was having a bad hair day hence why  my hair was  tied up with one of my African fabric

Below are more pictures. Please leave comments and thumbs up if you want  to see more outfit post.

I also have a video post coming up soon guys. YAY!!! am excited. Have a fabulous week guys

Thanks for stopping by.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!!

It's Black History Month again. The month of October is a special month set aside to celebrate great men and women who fought hard to keep the black race up on their feet and going. We appreciate them for their courage and how they have made the world a better place for us all. 

Here on SleektouchBBB, I celebrate the great leaders we've had in the past, we have now and those we will have in the future. You've been an inspiration to me and am sure to large number of people out there. You made a part for all to follow and left a great mark for us all.

Slave trade is a significant example of what we went through. I remember when I went to the Liverpool International Slavery Museum (Thanks to my chief tourist officer Ife Bamidele, Thank you sir. May God continually uphold you with wisdom lol)  

I saw some of the things people went through, I was angry and frustrated. I remember going round the rooms and reading those stories and I came across a dark room, all I could hear  at first was noises of people wailing and crying and i suddenly looked up and I saw a video or an illustration on how the slave trade movement was back in those days. I wondered how anyone could have gone through the pain and the long suffering.

Did you know that Liverpool ships transported half of the 3 millions Africans carried across the Atlantic by the British slavers? (WOW) How scary can that be?

To have successfully conquer the world and put an end to the act of racism and some many other disgusting acts. I salute you. 

Those who have also strived hard to be successful and different in their ways. In person's of the following pictured below and many more. ( can't post too many pictures)

Once again i appreciate your hard work and how you have successfully inspired your world. God bless you all.

Be Inspired all.

Anointed Men of God, liberating the world through the preaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. I appreciate and pray that, May your lamp keep burning. (IJMN)

Last but not the least My mother, I celebrate you and i use you as a point of contact to celebrate great women out there. You are such an inspiration and you taught me all the great things i know about life. You give me the reason to keep going. Thank you so much for everything ma. Your courageous, fierce and fabulous. God bless you always.

To all young people out there, Be Inspired. You can be greater than all these people.

Please leave a comment below of your icons and a word to celebrate them.

Have a fabulous weekend ahead.
