I mean, who would’ve guessed that this hot FHM beauty that’s been dominating our TV screens, billboards, magazines, etc for years had a head full of gorgeous naps hidden underneath those weaves?!!
Ok this post might appear as old news to those of you who had purchased the Winter issue of GLAMOUR Hair we were featured in but hey…
So yes, after our GLAMOUR hair feature excitement had eventually worn off, we decided to page through the rest of the magazine and there, on page 54 of the mag was a feature on this Congolese beauty (it was actually a cover feature). She was basically talking about…obviously…her hair and as it turns out, under all those fabulous weaves she rocks with confidence was a head full of (as THEYcall it) naps!
In another interview with Cosmopolitan magazine:
The Treatment: ‘My natural hair gets washed and treated using Dark and Lovely. My stylist plaits or corn-rows my hair in order to make it as flat as possible. After disinfecting the baby hairline to remove excess oil, she uses hair glue to fasten a lace weave. She holds it down for a minute or two until the glue settles.’
The Style: ‘I like to divide my hair into four sections and curl it into four big curls. It’s quick and gives my hair a more natural twist. I like to wear my hair in a side parting with a bun on the opposite side of the fringe when I go out.’
Joelle Recommends: ‘After I blow dry my hair, I use the Dark and Lovely Oil Moisturiser Lotion (R23.99).’
A Word From Her Stylist: When stylist, Chelimo Lupafya does Joelle’s hair, her single motto is ‘She must look camera ready at any moment. To achieve this on her Indian Remy Lace Wig, I use TRESemme Salon Silk Shampoo (R11.99 per 100ml), fortified with vitamin H and almonds. This leaves the hair feeling and looking silky with a natural shine. Just before styling with a wide-barrel curling iron, I apply a generous amount of TRESemme Heat Defence Styling Spray (R19.99 per 100ml), which contains heat-activated ingredients to protect hair when drying or curling. To keep the weave just a little more moisturised, I apply Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum (R265 per 150ml). Finally, a light spray of TRESemme Hairspray Firm Hold (R59.99 per 500ml) keeps the style in place without causing that stiff 1980s look.’
