My New Hair's resolution

 I have decided I needed to revamp my current approach

to some aspects of caring for my hair.

My plan is to not purchase, not one new hair product until

I have used up all of the half used or lesser used products

I have. I own so many products that I have used once or twice

then bought something to replace them with.

Not necessarily because there was anything insufficient about them.

I am just in the habit of searching for that perfect product.

I advise against this to others but I am a major perpetrator.

 

So no more products: oils, shampoos, conditioners, leave in's, deep

conditioners, gels, or hair accessories.

The hair accessories will be the hardest for me but I honestly rarely wear

them, I always feel so dressy with them in....

But maybe I need to dress up more often.

I hope that by restraining for purchasing more products

I will discover which ones I really can't live without

and purchase more of them.

 

 

I am also planning to give my hair a little rest, I am getting braids this weekend!

 

I am very hopeful I can keep them in a while, the last time I tried braids I couldn't keep them in for more than 7 days. My scalp is so tight the pain was immense. I have always been a braid person and used to get them every summer at least, I hope to be able to return to this at some point.

 



Video for my approach to a bun

I have not done a true bun since my hair has been natural, I was recently looking for a lazy week way to style my hair and came upon the idea of buns. Since my hair is so dense and shrink up even when there is no visible moisture around, I decided to crack out my ponytail in a ponytail technique. My hair was in a chunky twist out prior to styling. Needed tools: two ponytail holders, brush, setting lotion/gel, moisturizer, and water. See the video below on how I accomplished the look.

I finally tried the pineapple method for my twist out  and I have a new love! Check out my results. 

 

My hair journey- the slideshow

What more fitting way to wrap up 2012 then to look back at how far 

you or your hair has come?

My journey started in August 2010 when I had my last relaxer 

applied to my hair.

Look how far it has come.
