Literal Diva

Everyone who knows me, knows how much I hate getting my hair done. I went natural in 2013 but a hair stylist in Abuja convinced me to perm it, I continued doing that for a year then I went back natural in 2014. I've been natural for over two years but maintaining it has been very stressful, so I decided to get dreads but I was too scared to give it a go. I waited until after law school and I finally grew the balls I needed to get my hair locked today 07/01/2018. It took almost five hours of rolling, crocheting and twisting but it looks somehow similar to having dreads, my head hurts like crazy, the lady who did it trimmed a lot of my hair. I've always been skeptical about getting my hair locked, because I didn't was it looking too short and sticking out on different ends, however that was how it came out. Hopefully it grows faster. I feel kinda weird, so I would stick to wigs and scarves until it looks better. XXXX L.D 

Hi Guys, Happy New Year! I don't think I have ever been away for this long, but I've been so busy and adulting is a task and half. I made it through law school Thank God, passed my exams and was called to the Nigerian Bar last month, the entire journey was an emotional and nerve wrecking. I remember the sleepless nights, drinking red bull and coffee just to stay awake, feeling guilty for sleeping. I graduated with a pass, although I didn't see the breakdown of my result, I was happy I didn't have to resit any paper, I known people who didn't make and have to resit in April. Life has been the same, struggling with my faith as usual, insomnia, weight issue, boyfriend drama but I hope I get to write more this year. This is just a quick update. XXXX L.D
