BREAKAGE !

With this stretch I’m focused on retaining my length. In the month of March I was on my A game with protective styling my hair. I would braid my hair and kept them in for a week or two. This really helped me with keeping my hair moisturize and protected from the weather.

“It’s time to give my hair some rest

and rock a protective styles”

With this stretch I am really focusing on retaining my length. My hair is growing the way I want, but holding on to my length has been difficult. I keep hanging on Arm Pit Length (APL), but now it’s time to move on to full Shoulder Length (SL).

Diary Talk | Hair Goals 2017

My ow my .. how time flies by. The year 2016 past by QUICK!! As I’m getting ready to write down my hair goals, we already are in the 4^th week of January.

When I look back at my hair journey in the year 2016, I can definitely say ‘it’s been a journey’. I had some setbacks that caused me to cut my hair several times. My biggest problem is still having to deal with ‘heavy’ breakage. As results it wasn’t possible for me to retain my length.

For this year I’m going to make a couple chances to my regimen. First important thing, I need to stop being lazy and stay consistent. When I first started my hair journey, I was consistent with my weekly and monthly routine. Now I’m just slacking. Secondly, I always wrote down my hair problems & hair goals. This year I’m going to continue with writing stuff down, so that I will keep me on track with my hair growth.
