I am not sure how this will settle with your mind and your personal hygiene but a new movement of women leaving body hair, including those under the arm is about to sweep across—with the aim of redefining what beauty actually means…

Despite the argument that body hair is natural and not gross, anytime I’ve seen a woman and man with overgrown armpit hair in a swimming pool, it forces me to immediately jump out of the water.

For many who are for body hair, the argument centers around the fact that that women don’t need to conform to society’s expectations in order to be attractive—and that, body hair is attractive.

Woman, Know Thy Breast!

black-woman-reading

 

It is no news that a lot of Africans go about our daily lives without having the slightest clue how most of the things civilization, westernization and modern technology have introduced to us work. As such, we more often than not end up copying blindly.

There is a saying that, if you want to hide something from a black man, put it into a book. This is to back the popular claim that black people don’t like to read. And this attitude reflects in our lack of interest for science, research and innovation.

We therefore live our lives eating things we know nothing about, using gadgets without the knowledge of their mechanisms and even wearing clothes in and out of their right seasons.

Very recently I had a very embarrassing encounter with a fellow African woman I really look up to and it had to do with my bra size; and it never occurred to me how a trivial issue like a bra size would cause me to think deeply about the way we go about things in this part of the world.

A lot of African women just like me are walking about looking so fly “ignorantly” in the wrong shade of face powder, clothes that do not compliment our body types, hairstyles that do fit the shape of our face and especially where I was found wanting on that day: the correct size of our bras.

DO YOU THAT: Women Are Using Household Bleach In Dangerous Home Facials In The Hope Of Making Their Skin Glow

woman-washing-face

 

The world of beauty is getting far dangerous—as several women continue to put their lives at risk in search for beauty and perfection…

It has emerged that,  despite expert and medical advice, several women looking to have glowing skin are relying on a dangerous DIY facial cream that contains bleach, capable of burning the skin.

According to MailOnline;

A dangerous trend for home facials containing household bleach has emerged as a DIY means of ‘achieving glowing skin’.

Despite medical warnings that bleach can actually burn one’s skin, internet forums and at-home practitioners claim that the caustic solution has anti-aging and renewal benefits.

The vogue for such facials appears to have emerged following a November study at Stanford University School of Medicine – although similar skin lightening and brightening techniques have been around for quite some time.

Researchers tested mice with radiation dermatitis – an side effect of chemotherapy and radiation treatments – by bathing them in a diluted bleach solution for 30 minutes a day.

They found that ‘the inexpensive, widely available household chemical could provide a new way to treat skin damage caused by radiation therapy, excess sun exposure or aging.’

guess2

 

A woman’s hair is her pride and glory. (Except for Amber Rose. I think she looks more stunning bald than with hair on). It is the one feature that makes us stand out. It is the first thing everyone notices when they look at us. it distinguishes us from our male counterparts. It is our security blanket. Some might find these debatable but every lady would agree that it is way better to have great hair with simple clothes than a bad hair day with an amazing outfit.

That is why we spend so much time and money on our hair. That is why it is very important to get the right hairstyle that will frame our faces beautifully.

A lot of women make the mistake to think that because it looks good on a celebrity or model in a magazine or their friends, it would look just as good on them only to come out of the salon gravely disappointed. No, it’s not your hair stylists fault. She did the best she could. It’s the hair style!

Once upon a time, I used to love bangs but I had to give up on the style because hard as I tried, it just didn’t look good on my face type. If you have ever found yourself in a similar situation, you must be wondering, “So what hairstyle would be perfect for my face?” That’s why I’m here…
