Farewell 2024

2024 has been a wild ride gone in a flash. Managed to do a small trim and ended the year on a high hair note. Work, health and life have kept me from writing more. I also kept my hair routine to a bare minimum. I managed to wash about once a week and kept it in a bun most of the time.  This worked quite well and am going to continue keeping things simple. Before taking this photo I had been asked if it's my real hair a few times when I had it down. In 2025 I would like to be more regular with my trims. I barely managed to do it twice this year. The soft v shape and layers are a bit more forgiving and don't let my hair look scraggly too much which helps. I am hoping as I take better care of my health I'll have more energy for my hair. My current wash and blow dry routine takes me about an hour and a half and that's been the most I could do this year. I will try take better pictures in the coming year. I might also dig to see if I have any others from this year to share m...

Hair milestone

I managed to get my hair in this braid for the first time ever! It was quick and easy to do. I kept this in for a week. I will be going back to either two or three braids/cornrows for the rest of my stretch and it's good to have this in my back pocket as a quick style. What are some of your favourite updos?

September relaxer update

It's been 8weeks since last relaxer already.  I think I figured out why my scalp starts to itch after a certain amount of time. I will be using this stretch to test my theory out. This relaxer day went well. As my hair grows out there's more volume. My bun looks a good size too.  I blow dried and did a small trim. My hair is soft and making great progress. I plan to keep it braided up after this week. I have been doing the bare minimum with my routine. This is better than nothing and I know I cannot maintain this. Other parts of my life need some work and considering the current conditions I am not pushing myself too hard just making incremental changes.  How are you going? Have you been able to keep up with your hair routine?
