Thank you to everyone who has ever read my blog, engaged with me on a post, sent me a message and/or supported my blog. You’ve made this blog more fulfilling than I could’ve ever anticipated. I started this blog back in 2012 as a method of keeping track of my hair journey. And I never anticipated that I would’ve found…
For the past few weeks, I’ve been bouncing all over the place. And doing my best to keep up with my hair. Deep conditioning with heat was on the back burner, but I did my best to, at the very least, slather on some conditioner before trying to style my hair. …some weeks, I didn’t even make it to the…
After last week’s finger coils fail, I attempted it once again this past weekend. And it was another hot mess. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or the products I’m using aren’t working well with it. But regardless of the reason why I can’t get it together, I’ll be leaving ‘full out’ finger coils alone for a while.…
After getting my finger coils to last nine days using Eco Styler gel, I decided to give it another go in the hopes that I can make this once a week wash day a thing. This wash day features some new things, like my first time using an Ayurvedic hair paste and a new hair product. The herbs I chose…
It’s been about a week since cutting off my relaxed hair. And for every room I walked into (or person I encountered) I was met with various reactions — some interactions were more awkward than others. But despite being nervous about each impending interaction, I think I faired pretty well. The hardest part for me was talking about my hair.…
Oh boy, I never mean to be away for so long. But sometimes it comes down to coming up with new content for the blog or doing my hair. And lately I’ve been focusing on keeping up with my weekly hair regimen. Last we spoke, I was dipping my toe into Ayurvedic hair care and I’m still dabbling. This past…
After three months of bi-weekly wash days, I’ve finally succumb to the fact that my hair needs to be deep conditioned every week — it just has to happen. Moisturizing daily or a couple times a week just doesn’t do it for my hair. My hair feels and looks great on wash day but by day 3 it starts to…
When last we spoke about my hair, I was left questioning what I want to do with my hair. My original goal was to have waist length hair. But on that quest to waist length, I encountered breakage and thinning ends. Now, I’m questioning whether waist length is in the cards for me. Of course, I’d love to have crazy…
After hiding from my hair for the past few months, it was finally time to give my hair a lot of attention. If you remember, I was dealing with so much post partum shedding that it made wash days depressing. I pretty much lost ALL my edges. In November, I installed box braids. But because of the absence of edges…
After six weeks, I was ready to remove my box braids for a full wash day. I loved having these box braids and plan on installing them again in May. The hair kept up so well. There was no fraying or frizzing, which I do attribute to the hair that I chose to use (X-pression 100% Kanekalon synthetic hair). By six…
