Starting My Journey . .

I decided to get on a hair journey because I was tired of going to the salon to get my hair done. Also because I started to realize how damaged my hair really is. I was getting tired of the constant breakage that I was getting and was wondering why my hair doesn’t grow pass my bra strap. I didn’t treat my hair the best. I flat ironed my hair DAILY, I used to color my hair twice in just one week, I didn’t wash my hair for long period of times. I basically neglected my hair. One day I so happen to come across a site called Hairlista.com and ever since then I been more on top of taken better care of my hair. Today 07/11/11 marks the day that I officially start my journey. I went to a salon today to get all my split ends cut so that I can start fresh, plus my flat ironed had burned out on me so I know I’m not going to be using heat for the rest of the summer which is a great thing :). I think that my flat iron burning out was a sign for me to start my journey already and be more serious about my hair. Won’t be getting a new flat iron until the fall. But other then that, I created this blog so that I can keep track of the progress my hair makes. Oh and if your wondering as of now my hair is natural and colored treated. My hair type is probably a 3b or 3c unsure. But I’m not staying natural for long, just for the summer. Planning to relax when the fall comes. Any who hope you enjoy my blog and follow me on my journey to healthy hair.

Wash Day (7/7)

It feels good to have a clean scalp especially since I haven't washed my hair in almost two weeks! Yeah I know slacker/gross! My hair needed a good wash and some moisture back into it. Also I just came from the beach and even though I wasn't in the water the elements could of been harsh on my hair ex.sun. I started off with clarifying my hair since I haven't washed my hair in awhile. Needed to get rid of product build up and plus its the beginning of the month. I used my suave clarifying shampoo, I would say I do prefer the ORS aloe shampoo but I have yet to buy a full size. I proceeded to conditioning my hair because it was very much needed. I used my L'oreal Power Moisture conditioner and saturated my hair with the product so I can detangle my hair with my fingers instead of a comb. So easy to detangle my hair with this conditioner I love it. Followed up with my deep conditioner which is the Bee Mine D/C. I didn't wear my heating cap or leave in on for hours.

Umm, Hey ?!

I have not written a post in over a few months now & I feel a little okay about it. I just was not in the mood to really write about hair. It just started to become repetitive & a little boring to me. Don't get me wrong I still plan on documenting my hair journey & I still enjoy everything hair related. It was just a moment for me that I was kind of over it. I have been enjoying my hair length & been using heat a little too much, but that's okay. I mean isn't that the point of reaching your goal length, to enjoy it in whatever way you want? Well I definitely did & now it's time to get back to my normal hair routine. I still have a long term goal I want to achieve. So let's see where I go from here. This is my small space on the internet & I don't plan on abandoning it any time soon.

Hair Length Check In

I can not believe how far my hair has come. My hair has been in a protective for half the year, which was a sew-in. I did not have a sew in for the summer I gave my hair a break. I am currently debating if I should get another sew in for the colder months that is coming but I am not sure. My hair feels fuller & thicker. I was even asked if I had a weave in lol. Here is my current length. Am I Mid-Back length ? This picture was taken in Oct/13 Here is my current length as of Oct/14
