Gone for SO Long!!

I still can't believe I haven't posted since April 😮

I am so sorry for neglecting this blog and all of my lovely supporters! 

I still respond to emails and comments, but that clearly isn't enough.

2016 will be an amazing year and as I feel my passion for hair building up again, by the Grace of God I'll be back better than ever.

Stay tuned...

In the mean time, feel free to follow me on my new instagram or tumblr. I'm pretty active on both.

Happy Holidays and talk to you soon! :-) 

I'm Still Here

Hey my lovely people!!! Long time, no see. How are you? I hope you all are doing fabulous!!!
I wanted to drop in and give an update on my hair. Although it's been FOREVER,  it will be brief since not much is going on with my hair.

• My hair is doing well for the most part.
• I trimmed it a few times since my last post, but I didn't trim much. Probably about 1 inch all around in total
• I did a Henna and Indigo treatment, after not doing one since last March. My hair felt great afterwards
• I have developed a dime sized bald spot(noticed it on 3.4.15) on my right temple area. This feels like Deja Vu. Looking back at my posts, I had the same issue this time last year. And looking back at pics, that area has always been a little thin. I have an appointment coming up with the Dr. But in the mean time, I have been applying a mix of Emu, Olive, Rosemary, Lavender and Castor oil with a teaspoon of MSM(sulfur powder) day and night. I  also recently purchased Onion Oil to see if that will help some. I will do a separate post on that soon.
• I have also reduced the amount of puffs I wear and try to reduce tension around my hairline
• I have ALSO increased my water intake and started working out again(it's been a while). Yes, I'm not going to lie it all started with the bald spot. I was trying to do any and everything to get it to grow back fast. But it's now a lifestyle change..hopefully.
• I haven't straightened my hair in over 3 years. I may one day, just not sure when.
• The back of my hair grows ridiculously faster than the rest of my hair and it's annoying. I just wish the rest of my hair would catch up. Luckily I have figured out ways to conceal it
• I am officially 2 years natural and 3 yrs 5 months post relaxer
• I still wear twists for at least 2-3 weeks out of a month
• My shrinkage is crazy. Even in braidouts, my hair shrinks like 65%

On to the pics.

Hair Update

Hey Y'all!!! How are you? Hope everyone is doing wonderful!
I know, it's been a lonngggg time. I think this is the longest I've been away and I hope to never go that long again.
Anyway, just wanted to come by and give a brief update on my hair.
There hasn't been any changes in my regimen. It's been pretty consistent. I am using Shea-butter a lot more now though. I'm pretty much over commercial hair products and Shea-butter has been working perfectly fine for me for all these years. I wash/deep condition weekly and still only finger detangle.

 I wore my hair in twists(large and small) for about a month.  I will never do small(not quite mini) twists again. They took 5 hours to install and like 2 to remove. 

 I wore my hair in the signature puff amongst other puff styles. 

I just tried to switch it up a little. 

How's your hair doing? Any changes for the Winter?

Moisture is my BFF this Winter. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Same Ol'

Hey Hey Hey!!! Happy Friday! Hope you all had a great week!

 

Just wanted to pop in and give a brief update on my hair.

 

I haven't been doing much since I removed the twists. Just bunning, twists(with my own hair) and puffs.

 

I still wash/deep condition weekly and moisturize/seal 5-6 times a week. Now after washing, I blow-dry my hair while in twists or braids(whichever way I set my hair) because I don't want to sleep with wet hair.

 

I decided to hold-off on the poetic justice braids. I think I will do those once it gets really cold out. So for now, I am just enjoying my loose(well sometimes) hair.

 

Here are a few ways I have been rocking my hair.
