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...
It's been a while since my last post. My hair is growing out nicely.
Since the last post I have been washing my hair weekly and decided to just blow dry and not flat iron as well. I am mostly home and generally keep my hair covered under a scarf. Blow drying gets my hair dry and stretched in less than 10minutes. The brush attachment really helps with the process.
As my hair continues to grow, we are up in another level of awkward length. It's not quite ponytail length but it's rubbing against my neck in the back. I had to do a few experiments to find a way to keep it off my neck. This led me to the pictured side comb.
I have two sizes small and the pictured large. I basically twist my hair in the back and put it up and use the comb to hold it in place. It's quite good and so far I had no issues. No more little fro on the nape area! With exercising and weather changes I had found that area would shrink and frizz up.
If I want to go out I just wear my scarf over or a hat and there are no issues. As my hair continues to grow out I will keep experimenting. Deciding not to braid my hair at all for now has been eye opening and a good experience. I could put in a few lines of cornrows and just chill but I wouldn't get to know my hair in this way. If I ever decide to cut my hair again I am making sure I can at least put that hair in a ponytail!
How have you been? Any experiments with your hair?
