Today in our LUKY \u201cLet Us Know You\u201d session in December 2019, we met with an intelligent individual, Ajao Jadesola who has made a mark in the natural hair industry. Below is our session with her concerning her natural hair journey. Furthermore, there are several tips you can learn from her experience as a natural hair diva. Sit back and enjoy the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m Ajao Jadesola, a student at the University of Ibadan and the author of Okadabooks bestseller “Five Plus One Equals Done”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a diligent student, I endeavour to make my hair routine as simple as possible. I noticed a complicated hair routine frustrates women who are also working. I put my hair in protective styles almost all the time, and only wash it once a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My biggest issue was ignorance. I kept my hair for four years without knowing a single thing about it. It was only when I gave up and cut it and then went to YouTube to start learning more about my hair. I finally knew how to take care of 4c hair. My hair is only five months old now. It’s almost as long as it was throughout my four years of keeping it without knowing how to take care of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would advise them to know as much as possible about hair, particularly hair as a science. When you get enough information about hair, other people’s wrong opinions won’t sway you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make sure that the tutorials they follow are from people that have the same hair type and hair specs as theirs. This is to avoid frustration when the tutorials don’t work out for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think I would wish for thicker hair. I naturally have low to medium density hair, which I love, but I wouldn’t mind if it was a little bit thicker \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since I’m high porosity, I moisturize nearly every day with leave-in conditioner, aloe vera, oil and Shea butter. I always sleep with a satin bonnet and I wash my hair once a month and deep condition every two weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m a veterinary medical student who aspires to go to PhD level or higher lol, and I’m a writer who’s about to start work on her second novel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It would be nice if, this is not really an invention, but if there was a way for products in the community to be cheaper, it would be great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
