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.

So I have been thinking about adding back heat to my relaxer routine and see how I go. I would still like my routine to not take all day. I can finish in two hours at the moment and would like to keep it at that or even less. I will star...
