What Are Your Hair Goals?

Today I'm coming through really quick to talk about hair goals. Do you have any hair goals? Just like anything else in life I have goals for my hair. I'm not a perfectionist or anything but my number one goal for my hair was to perfect my regimen. This comes with trial and error trying different products. Which ends up finding products your hair doesn't like. This brings me to my number 2 of my short term goal, learning my hair. There's a few products that my hair completely hates. Such as Shea butter, Shea Moisture's Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie just to say a few. That product is weird to me because my hair loves both coconut and hibiscus lol.

  Third on my short term goals was to reach Arm Pit Length(APL), then Bra Strap Length(BSL) and Mid Back Length(MBL). Though I was eager to reach these three goals. MBL took me the longest, for some reason it seemed like everything changed on my hair. Like something over night. Products changed for my hair, my texture even changed towards the back. The front of my hair seemed like it was Spring all year long. I had so much new growth. It was a good thing because it seemed as though it was thinning slightly. Then my edges mostly around my temples started looking a little scarce. Then for 3 long years it seemed like I could not retain my length passed BSL. Wheew!! It was a lot but luckily I didn't lose hair like crazy or ending up with even shorter hair.

 Pretty much this article is so that you will if you haven't already write down your hair goals. Stick to them and make sure you stay motivated and take great care of your hair to reach those goals that you have set. Well that's all for now see you later...............

Hair Diary #10

Hello, hello everyone! How is the summer treating your hair? Good I hope, as for me my hair is doing well. Beginning on the end of last year I've mostly had my hair in a protected style with buns or types of updos, instead of braids and twists. Its a little challenge I've given myself and it ends around October. Even though my hair is in a protective style 98% of the time. Sometimes I will allow my hair to be out for a week or less. Either trying new things or just seeing how different or the same my hair is acting or changing opposed to the previous years.

So since it's summer time I told myself I couldn't let the whole summer pass by and not have a wash and go at least once lol. I also had bought a new gel earlier this summer to try out for my wash and go's. So I gave it a try. Since I could only find a pretty small container I didn't use a lot also the fact that I never tried this gel before I didn't want to have flakes all over my head. It's summer not winter.  So I sprayed my homemade leave in conditioner on my head then applied a small amount of gel on some pretty chunky sections.

This time around I didn't feel like spending too much time so I was trying to hurry up and get it over with. I was rushing like I really had somewhere to go smh, but since I wasn't feeling to well I was trying to get it over with A.S.A.P. With my laziness and small amounts of gel my hair came out really nice. I wore my wash and go for 5 days. I could of gone longer but it was time to protect my hair again.
