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...
The month of June has gone by and I decided to flat iron my hair. It's been a while, my hair is longer and I need help with my hand eye coordination. Needless to say it was a bit of an arm work out.
The flat ironing step alone took me just under an hour. I hadn't really thought through my game plan but it all worked out in the end.
There's definitely progress. I think the next time I flat iron will either be end of year or in the new year with the first relaxer. Then I'll see if it will be worth doing it more regularly if not for practice.
Growing out the hair in layers is interesting. I can put my hair in a bun just not all of it regardless of the position. This calls for some creativity in styling with clips, side combs etc.
In the background I am continuing to work on deciding my staple products. A mix of allergies and wanting accessible products that work is the reason behind it. It's not as easy as I thought it would be but progress is being made. Once I have a final line up I will share.
How has your month been?
