A SMALL JOY
A bath and a candle always puts me in the right mood
HAIR WASH ROUTINE
The night before wash day I’ll smother my scalp in rosemary oil, wrap my hair and let it sink in during the night. I go in with my shampoo and use a scalp massager, slap on some Dizziak conditioner and brush through my hair whilst it’s wet and conditioned. I leave the conditioner in up to 10-20 mins (depending on much of a rush I’m in) rinse that through. Apply some curl creme, scrunch with a t-shirt and let it air dry for a bit. Once my curls have formed their natural pattern I’ll then diffuse it lightly for some volume
WHY DIZZIAK
Honestly, where do I start? I went through a bleaching stage and my curls were frazzled. As soon as I started using the Dizziak conditioner, it brought my ringlets back. My hair refuses to love any other conditioner and trust me, I’ve tried a lot
GREAT HAIR MEMORY
The resurrection of my curls! What a moment
NIGHTMARE HAIR STORY
One morning I woke up really hungover, I tried to take my hair band out and it got stuck. Half asleep I cut it out, fell back asleep, woke up and realised I’d actually cut a chunk of my hair out

BEST PIECE OF ADVICE
The will of God will not take you, where the grace of God will not sustain you. Trust in Him
