So it's been a while since I posted. I've been consumed with school and work. I just want to talk a little about my hair. I've had my setbacks here and there and I find it so hard to wear my natural hair out because I don't know how to style it. So I've been wearing scarves and wigs since being natural soon for 2years now. I have nothing against being relaxed or natural, it's all about knowing what works for you and how you best take care of your hair.
I had a bad microbraid experience where I lost hair around my edges more on one side than the other, and I basically decided to let my hair grow back before getting another relaxer again so here I am. I use castor oil on my edges and I've been doing it consistently now for more than 6months and I can finally see some growth now.
I'm very simple with my hair care and I plan on doing other posts about other steps I take for my hair. I plan on protective styling for 6 months and retain more growth from january to this summer of 2016.
I want to very soon incorporate working out to see how much this can affect my hair growth, I already drink a lot of water and moisturise regularly. I wash my hair every other week to keep a clean and healthy scalp as well. That's enough for know, here are some pictures of my sad edges and my hair right now. The first pictures are my edges last summer 2015, the middle one is how I protect my hair in cornrows, before putting my scarf on, I don't wear the wig anymore since I found out it was too much tension for my edges and made my edges recover slowly, the last ones are my edges today.
Stay blessed and stay tuned! :D
