Hair talk
Hi my lovely people! I would like you all to meet Amina she is taking over the ‘HAIR WHAT I’VE GOT TO SAY’ segment today.
She is a bright and intelligent women, with amazing creative style. I am so excited that about this collaboration.
I hope you enjoy what she got to say, as much as I did.
Introduce yourself, what do you do?
My name is Amina Habeeb. I’m a fashion blogger, stylist, presenter, content creator and an all round creative in the fashion and media field.
What’s your favourite thing about your work?
I love being able to be 100% myself and both express and explore my creativity through the different things I do and the platforms that I’m involved in.
Are you natural or relaxed (is that your natural hair colour and texture)
Under the many wigs I like to wear, my real hair is actually natural. I have both sides of my head shaved to the tip of my ears and my natural hair colour is dark brown.
What are your go to products?
Organics hair mayonnaise and Crème of nature Argan oil shampoo are products I cannot function without!
What is your all time favour hairstyle?
Its very difficult for me to choose a favourite in anything. I like too many things, and that goes with hair styles as well.
What are your 3 top hair care tips?
- Deep conditioning your hair frequently is a must!
- Avoid combing your hair too much. I prefer using my fingers to comb/detangle my hair. (I actually cant remember the last time I combed my hair with a comb).
- Protective hairstyles that allow you to not have to handle your hair so much can help with growth and thickness as your hair can be tucked away under a wig and left alone to just grow over a period of time.
Do you have a hair routine?
My natural hair spends most of its time under a wig so I don’t really deal with it on a daily basis in order to have a specific routine. However every few months, I wash, deep condition, detangle and moisturise my hair before putting it away under a wig for another few months. This the cycle throughout the year for me.
Describe yourself in five words?
People who know me tend to describe me as funny, loud, shameless, energetic, and outgoing… I agree! Haha!
What helps give you inspiration/motivation?
My faith in God is my main motivation and inspiration, but I’m also inspired and motivated by people around me who are hardworking, ambitious, and set on achieving their life dreams.
What are the top three things on your bucket list?
- Spend a year travelling around different parts of the world
- Live in LA for 3 months
- Have extremely white teeth
