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.

This is a shot of me air drying from the archives,excuse the mess. Until I started my hair journey this year I never really took a lot of hair photos. I want to build that habit so I can track my progress. As the year draws to a close I am seeing posts on Instagram for hair goals. I really just want to be able to comb my hair and for it to be healthy. I asked myself what healthy hair means to me. The below is what I aspire to with my hair: 1. Hair is growing and I am retaining length 2. Healthy scalp free of dandruff 3. Shiny and smooth texture 4. Hair with elasticity and movement 5. No dead ends or split ends 6. Minimal breakage or shedding I feel that keeping an eye on these things will help me maintain healthy hair. Should I veer off the right path they will help keep me in check. I will also keep my detangling game on and not get complacent! What are your thoughts? What would you say is healthy hair?
