June 18 2012

Starting my hair journey yet again. I am transitioning to natural and plan on trimming the relaxed hair off every 6-8 weeks. I will be using bantu knots, flexi rods, twist outs, and braids as my protective styling for the rest of the year. I do have a color in my hair but will not be coloring until all of my relaxed hair has grown out. My ultimate goal is to have mid back length natural hair. I believe that this will take at least 5 years to obtain.  I am excited for my new journey and will be updating weekly with pictures of protective styles and every 2 months with length checks.

I will be updating with a beginning picture when I wash and condition on Tuesday.

Long time...

I haven't done much lately and I need to start having fun again. I want to try new things with my hair and treat it well at the same time. I have a new journey that I am about to begin. Very Happy.

My New Look

Been gone for far too long....

I have not updated in a while. I have not had as much hair growth that I thought I would but I have had about 3 inches of growth since December. And I think that is pretty great! I had a sew-in installed on Saturday and will keep it for a month or so (or until I want to touch my hair again). I have lost 15lbs. since I started my journey. I have about 15lbs. more to go!

Yes...I fell off...


I have not been working out like I should. I do feel a little bad about it. I will continue today and keep up on my work out journey. I always take care of my hair and now I need to ALWAYS take care of my body. I jumped on the scale this morning and saw 177. Man did that feel good. Level 2 continues today until the 18th and Level 3 will start on the 21st. I will work out 5 days a week and take two days off. Yay for weight loss!

Hair Progress

I have been on my HHJ for about 2 months now. I have learned a few things about my hair during this time. I have been using Motions CPR shampoo and conditioner every week since I received my first relaxer (September 2010). I now believe that my hair is getting too much protein so I will only  use these products once a month. I do have several other shampoos and conditioners in my stash that I will be using until I find the best product for my hair. I am thinking about only shampooing my hair once a month and just co-wash weekly.

The next progress pictures that will be taken will be the week of the 19th. I believe that I have retained all of the length that I grew last month. But I am always researching ways to take better care of my long, strong, healthy hair.
