Au Naturale

Next month (April), it will be exactly one year since I did a relaxer touch to my hair. Right now, I can prove: - the half inch hair growth per month, - the black hair grows, - the black hair responds to treatment - the thickness and volume of the black hair is simply incomparable but... - I could not grow my edges as I desired [so scanty and damaged] - that was the reason I was transitioning in the first place. - I realized the best way to repair my edges is to simply leave and reduce manipulations to the barest minimum. - I have a 4c type hair that cannot be left or combed without a protective style. - *Transitioning had been so difficult and time consuming for me* - The gray hairs [hereditary] seemed to be multiplying by the hour, I know it had always been there but always less emphasized when it is relaxed. - I think black hair is costlier to maintain in its natural state. Yes it is, especially when it is not covered the most part of the day. * The time consumin

Day 36 Update: Fitness Blender

I had always known Fitness Blender as YouTube channel with lots and lots of workouts. I always saw the video as slow and sluggish moves that will not challenge the body the way I always wanted. Can I be permitted to say that I wrongly judged the book by it's cover. In 45 minutes with lots of modifications and rests today, I was panting heavily and of course glowing with sweat. I could not imagine the moves will wind me out that way. What else can I say?

Some Frustrations

I am not doing well today at all. My hair is really frustrating me and I think it is because I am giving it too much attention, too much fuss for nothing. I have been a little obsessive about my hair of late and now I am hating the whole idea and wherever that started from. Within 3 days, I have spend unnecessary monies and I feel a little bitter about it. I can see some lovely improvement in my baby hairs and hairline but notwithstanding, that should not start controlling my life and become so unreasonable. I am continuing with my wig regimen. The only concern I have now is that exercise starts tomorrow and that means more sweat. I promise to always find a way around it though. My rantings for the day.

REsults

This is a quick one. I just realized that my hair is growing. The frontline edges, even before getting my Castor Oil treatment I had been massaging my hair every morning and night with olive oil and shea butter and I feel my fingers are now catching some hair and I love the feeling a lot. Need to also say that my hair now feels a little thicker than what I had always had. I will be texlaxing by 6th of September, that is in two weeks time and I hope to get the best from that experience of using a lye relaxer in years of retouching. I usually pick some little stuff like this to succeed in them and when I do, I teach myself to face life and bigger challenge in such spirit.

Hairducation...

I have been reading so much on how to help my hair be better than it is presently. I posted the pictures yesterday of the stage my hair is and I am looking forward to when it will become more healthy and presentable.

Hair: Thou art loosed

On another note, I wish to include my hair in my blogs. I hope I will also excel in this area of my life as I will in others too. I am becoming a little bit worried about the stage of the hair right now. It is a serious matter requiring serious attention. It has so receded in the front that it looks like I am going bald already. I don't appreciate that at all. I got a link that I hope will help my journey to make my hair bounce back to life. I will not resign to growing older and look like a granny at my age because of carelessness. Find the link below: http://www.rehairducation.com/sample-page/
