2024 has been a wild ride gone in a flash. Managed to do a small trim and ended the year on a high hair note. Work, health and life have kept me from writing more. I also kept my hair routine to a bare minimum. I managed to wash about once a week and kept it in a bun most of the time. This worked quite well and am going to continue keeping things simple. Before taking this photo I had been asked if it's my real hair a few times when I had it down. In 2025 I would like to be more regular with my trims. I barely managed to do it twice this year. The soft v shape and layers are a bit more forgiving and don't let my hair look scraggly too much which helps. I am hoping as I take better care of my health I'll have more energy for my hair. My current wash and blow dry routine takes me about an hour and a half and that's been the most I could do this year. I will try take better pictures in the coming year. I might also dig to see if I have any others from this year to share m...
Grateful for another day. Last time for my wash routine I was a bit rushed and didn't give enough time to the process.
Now I am getting closer to relaxer and got some breathing room. Yesterday I washed my hair. Made myself comfortable with my moisturiser and wide tooth comb and made sure my hair was detangled.
I already have plenty of new growth. Hard to believe it's only been 6 weeks post last relaxer. The tangles and knots don't play.
I have a very tender scalp so getting on top of the tangles before relaxer is a priority for me. You don't want to be trying to detangle and applying relaxer at the same time!
As we know life happens and sometimes you might not get to washing your hair or detangling it. The best way I have found to help me not look completely crazy is to have a routine in place with some go to styles for those challenging times.
Having a routine helps keep things manageable. Even if it doesn't always go as planned you can work things for next round.
One of my go to styles is the headwrap or head scarf. It works in good times and not so good times. I have a few different colours and styles to go with my wardrobe. Generally if I am at home I have a scarf on. As my hair is growing out I am trying to just wear my hair more often. My go to style then is the bun. Nice and simple.
How have you been and are you on top of your routine?
