Relaxed Hair Journey Update: I’m Starting Over

A few months back, I decided to start my healthy hair journey and I was excited but I didn’t fully prepare myself for all of the work that it required. Which lead me back to following into some of the same, old bad habits. I would wash my hair and throw it in a few braids and wear wigs.

What I’ve learned is this doesn’t work for my hair. My hair wants and needs to breathe. Within the last 6 months I’ve experienced a lot shedding and hair thinning. I will say that I have been under a tremendous amount of stress which has led to some of this.

I took a big leap of faith and visited a salon to get my hair accessed. Luckily, I knew the stylist and felt like I could trust her with my hair. My hair was washed, deep conditioned, blown out and cut (1-2 inches).

Stylist: Yolanda Jamison

The stylist and I came up with a plan of action on how to take care of my hair going forward. We would cut and relax on my next visit and we did just that!

I’m excited to see what my hair does in the next few months and I’ll be back with an update very soon! I’ve also added a multivitamin to my regimen and I’m drinking my water!

If you’re on this journey, too, don’t get discouraged. We all have to live and learn and currently, I’m learning to take better care of myself.
