Beauty Parlour with @bookoons (15)

🎼🎙 Music playing in the background Olowogbogboro by Nathaniel Bassey

Hello and welcome to another beautiful edition of Beauty Parlour with @bookoons. It's the last day of the month of September already and I am grateful to have made it this far. This month, I celebrated a lot of my amazing friends. So I recently visited Delta state and discovered there's a town named after one of my previous guests, @jesse12, the town is called Jesse town, way to go Jesse, you didn't tell me you've blown. I'd like to know, how did y'all cope during the Hardfork 20? Mehn, I was bored, thank God for discord and WhatsApp groups. In case you missed the last show with the funny @lordjames, catch up here.

TRENDY HAIRSTYLES FOR LADIES

From Fulani braids, we moving on to flat twists. My gosh, this style looks so delish. Especially more with natural hair.

Yum yum

Would you flat twist your hair?

TRENDY HAIRCUT FOR GUYS

FRONT LINE FADE

This hairstyle is a very simple and common type, mostly seen on stylish black men... But what makes this style exceptional is the curvy line at the front, it gives it some kind of definition and obviously catches the eye.

Front line fade

You just have to look twice or more

An amazing and simple haircut to get, its actually the best style for you just in case you're trying to manage your hair solution and maintain the spotting waves and stuff.

THAIRAPY ROOM

Welcome to thairapy room. Last week, we discussed the benefits of water, today we'll be looking at laughter. Laughter is good for the body, it has numerous benefits which include;

• It reduces the level of stress hormones in the body.
• It boosts the immune system.
• It is a natural form of exercise; you work the muscles.
• It improves memory and regulates blood pressure.

Have you laughed today?

GUEST CORNER

@bookoons: welcome to another tome out with a wonderful steemian. Today, I have with me in the studio the beautiful @joyce-okpobo. Welcome to the studoo today, please tell us about yourself.

@joyce-okpobo: Well, this question is a trap because you either end up saying too much or saying too little( lol). I would have preferred specific questions but let's hope I can give you all the information you need to know about me.

My name is Joyce Okpobo, the English girl who ended up studying fisheries in the great University of Benin. I hail from Edo State, Nigeria. Agebebode to be precise. I am an ambivert, not extroverted nor introverted. I used to be very tall. But now, I'm just 5.49ft. 😉😉

About food??? I am not a foodie and I don't have special foods because I cook with a food time table. But for soups, I prefer banga soup or Edo black soup with pounded yam.

Did I mention that I was single???😋😋 Yes I am single. 💃💃

At my leisure, I love to read, watch movies, or sew clothes. I'm not so much of a dancer but I can give good steps to a music I like while sitting. Sitting I said because I am sometimes shy. I sing better with instruments. I love to be around people with same energy and passion as myself.
So, church is my first home only that I don't sleep there 😄.

@bookoons: How has it been for you here on steemit?

@joyce-okpobo: It's been fun, adventurous and challenging as well. I was introduced to this noble platform by @lordjames. I registered and got my account approved January this year but I wasn't active; hibernation mode😁😁. When I finally decided to travel this path, the ship had already sailed some distance. There were lots of discouragements during my early stages. You know what it's like having taken your time to write a good post only to get a 0.01$ upvote😂😂😂. Not funny at all but thanks to @lordjames and @joshuaetim because of them, i didn't give up. I kept pushing, striving and doing what I knew how to do best. My great break came when I found @dimimp and @steemjet. Since then, it's only gotten better and I believe there are better things to come in the future.

@bookoons: What do you like most about a guy's look?

@joyce-okpobo: Mehn!, This question is very tempting (laughs). I love melanin. That's a first start. Beyond complexion, I love slim and tall guys. I'm sure my dad in a way influenced that because he was my three-in-one specifications (tall, dark and slim)😁😁 Besides all of the above, I love guys who make the effort to dress good. It attracts me like a magnet to an iron.

@bookoons: How old is your hair? Were you ever a natural?

@joyce-okpobo: My hair is about 8 years old. I was only natural first few weeks when I started making my hair. I have this tough and stubborn hair that I might cry when making it so I started using relaxer very early to give it that softness and ease of combing.

@bookoons: What's your hair routine?

@joyce-okpobo: I rarely make my hair because it's quite long and healthy. However, there are certain things I do to maintain it's lushness. I apply relaxer once in every three or four months. Very often, I use shear butter (ori) instead of hair cream. And when I'm not on a weave or weavon, I visit the salon once in three weeks for washing and setting. About three months ago, I bought longrich cleansing and treatment shampoo. It's an anti-dandruff too. It's effective and has a nice fragrance. So I usually take it with me to the salon.

@bookoons: What advise will you give to steemians who plan to quit due to frustration?

@joyce-okpobo: There's no field of the world where you have everything sailing in the positive direction only without obstacles. Steemit is no exception. There's a place for everyone on steem blockchain. Life becomes easier when we find our niches. To frustrated steemians, begin by finding your niche. Maybe writing is not for you. How about Vlogging? Maybe you've got an amazing voice, why not sing and get people to pay you for that? I know of @adoore-eu. Most of the things she has on her blog is food and she's doing good. Just find your place and give it your best shot. Like I tell people, if we focus on what we know how to do best and concentrate on delivering our best, I believe we would make it to the top pages of history.

@bookoons: Parting words for our audience.

@joyce-okpobo: To my audience, I want to say thank You for patiently going through this interview with me. Always wear a positive attitude like you do your perfume because a negative attitude cannot give you a positive life. And thank you @bookoons for the privilege to be on set with you.

@bookoons: thank you for your time. Our esteemed audience, thanks for staying with us this long, until the next time we come your way, remember, we hair for you.
