Ty Bello Reveals Hair Secrets

Many chicks have seen singer & photographer  TY Bello on red carpets and in videos and have often wondered about her hair! Is it all hers? It looks super healthy & natural…could it be weave? Surely not…it looks way too natural to be one. When she premeiered her latest video The Future on Bella Naija, most of the comments were about her hair! Not the song or video! So I knew I wasn't only one that wondered. TY has revealed the secrets to the most lusted-after mane in the industry, on twitter. So for those that wants a lucious mane like TY' s, here is what she had to say.
"Its taken me a couple of years of practice with natural hair texture to figure out what works for my hair. I have natural hair and texturise very lightly though, because I start to have my hair break once my texturised curl pattern is different from that of my natural growth. A few years ago, Banke Meshida introduced me to kinky curly, so I use the whole range. I love my own hair, but work has me on the move all the time and I find that unless its twisted ,my natural hair tends to revert with naija humidity.. So my sisters.. learn to love my weave. A good weave that blends flawlessly with natural hair is … Sleek afro cool curl . You can get it at their stores in lagos. Ify Ugochukwu kept me stocked with those babies for years. Its really versatile so I blow dry and twist for a more natural finish. My motto for weaves though, is to make sure its as close to your hair as possible. If any one has to ask,  "What weave is that ?"  Then you've failed.  I must confess that sometimes even I get carried away and pile on hair till I look like a tree. I used to be a hairstylist for years so I cut and layer my own hair (yes! nautral hair is better layered to fit your face). I'm looking forward to getting back into the hair business, maybe not as a stylist this time but I've been cooking up some potions for natural hair in humid weather, they actually work! Its funny cause I've been mixing stuff up for hair since I was eleven.  Yeah.. And warmed up shea butter mixed with shea oil is magic on the scalp, just let it warm up in the microwave a bit and slather on your scalp. I massage and leave on for hours before I wash."

So, here... U heard it ladies!
