I know it has been forever since I updated my blog on my hair journey that I started towards the end of last year. Truth is, there have been quite a bit of challenges in both my hair journey and my life. I've tried MANY products... Some I loved, some I returned! But overall, I am happy with my results so far. I am not one for walking around looking a hot mess because I expect people to know I'm on a journey for healthier hair! So, I wash my hair when needed which is usually once a week. I flat iron my hair just about once a week... Sometimes every two weeks. I relax my hair every 8-10 weeks religiously. I love to bun and I love twist outs. I love the look of fresh cut healthy hair so I trim my hair immediately when its needed (usually every 2 months). I did not take the drastic road of stretching my relaxers, no manipulation and other forms of hair care because it simply was not for me. I take into consideration that I do my own hair weekly and have not been to a salon in over a decade. This means that I am entitled to buy expensive hair products and treatments every now and then. The cost of a $50 hair treatment is priceless when I've been doing my own hair since I was 15 years old! Now on to the pictures!
Products I've Been Using Religiously:
Optimum Relaxer (I've used this since I first relaxed my hair at 15 years old)
It's a 10 Keratin Leave-In
Coconut Oil
Jojoba Oil
Redken Soft Shampoo
Kenra Deep Conditioner
Joico Moisture Balm
Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair- NEW
Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave-In (as a moisturizer)- NEW
Keratin Complex Infusion Therapy Deep Conditioner (to stop breakage)- NEW
Keratin Complex Intense Rx (Leave-In)- NEW
Well that's it for my update. As for the products, I obviously do not use all these products EVERY time I wash my hair... That would just be ridiculous! I use 1 shampoo, 1 conditioner and 1-2 leave-ins each time I wash my hair. It takes me a total of 1 hour to do my hair from start to finish. Done are the days of me taking a whole day or even 2 of my weekend to do my hair. While I do give it more TLC than before, I can not let it consume me. Anyways, thanks for checking back on my journey and I hope you all having success in yours as well! Toodles.
