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.…
First of all, for every person that has clicked onto my little blog in search of relaxed hair care or information about my hair journey, THANK YOU! It’s been an amazing 6 years blogging about my relaxed hair and I have nothing negative to say about it, specifically or generally. It’s just that right now, I’m moving on to something…
Hey Guy! Below you’ll find my relaxer update for July 2018. I made it to pretty much 25 weeks post relaxer. And January 14, 2018 was my last relaxer: Thanks for Watching!
Anyone remember my very first youtube video? (It’s right here) It’s a dinosaur at this point, but it’s also my most popular upload. I think that’s because for most mastering the skill of roller setting is alluring and yet so illusive. Roller sets are a great way to straighten your hair using indirect heat, but getting results that are consistently…
My daughter is 3 years old now and somehow I am still experimenting with her hair. I don’t have many products set in her hair regimen. The only real constant is that I always condition, add a leave-in, oil and gel prior to braiding her hair. Her hair is growing, but I know there is room for improvement, especially as…
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…
For once, I’ve been wonderfully consistent with my hair supplements. I was taking them almost every day like clockwork. And probably about a month ago, I started to notice that my scalp at the crown felt tender or sore. It wasn’t so much so that it was painful, but it was this thing happening in the background. I don’t even…
The second part of my current hair regimen is a list of the products I will be relying on to maintain it. These are technically my current favorites. But more than half of them have been a part of my hair care routine for YEARS, which is why I labeled them my staple hair products. I think they deserve that…
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…
