Meet Caz via Barbara McKenzie

Posted on February 5, 2016 by queencaz

During my trip to South Africa last Nov/December I enjoyed the experience of exploring the history, culture and fashion of Mzanzi.

While browsing on IG for some inspiration I came across the page of Barbara McKenzie and was attracted to her designs. Before I returned to the UK I reached out to Kendi the designer to get a custom made dress which she delivered.

In turn she made a blog feaure with my Afrofusion earrings check it out.

Queencaz takes Uzima 2014

Posted on July 19, 2014 by queencaz

I just rounded up a hectic day of exhibiting at the 2014 Uzima Expo event which took place at the Conway Hall in Holbourn, London.

My day kicked off with a 6:30 wake up, got dressed for a church service which wrapped up at 9am. With a quick change around and running after a bus while dragging a suitcase full of #QueencazColletion goodies, I managed to meet up with my sister and catch the Dlr train to Bank.

We arrived to Conway Hall in good time, set up was a breeze and by 12pm when doors were open to the public we were eager for kick off.

Overall the day was fun & yet another great chance to showcase the #QueencazCollection. I met some new inspirational clients as well as some familiar faces. Despite the hall feeling a bit like a sauna due to no air conditioning the event turn out was a success.

I would recommend this show to anyone both as an attendee and an exhibitor.

Kudos to the organizers (Sister E)

Until we meet again

Crotchet Braiding Review

Posted on June 9, 2014 by queencaz

Over the weekend I decided to install crotchet braids as part of a protective hair style.

This was my first attempt and after watching countless YouTube videos I finally styled upon a good tutorial by Fortheloveofmyfro

I went to the hair salon and equipped myself with the necessary hair and crotchet needle. The hair that I opted to use is the Model Model Glance Braid Water Wave, Kanekalon type as opposed to the Marley hair which was being used in the tutorial. The same technique still applies no matter the hair type.

Advise

If you want to try out this style I would suggest

to have plenty of time as the installing process can be time consuming. It took me about 3-4 hours – pretty good for a 1st attempt.
Have patience, by using wavy/curly hair when installing at times the hair gets tangled. It’s frustrating but get over it and just correct the error.
to have inspiring upbeat music to help the time pass by.
make sure you prep your hair underneath, wash deep condition the hair before flat twisting or cornrowing before installing.
You don’t have to be an expect at braiding or cornrowing your hair underneath just make sure that it is secure enough.
Make sure when you insert the crotchet tool into your hair the clasp is tightly closed to avoid it tagging on your own hair and the extensions

I will be perfecting this technique with different extentions…

Watch this space
