My hair had been giving me trouble the last couple of weeks, I was experiencing more breakage than usual. I thought a good deep conditioning would do the trick., so I did one and when I was air drying I realised that my ends looked terrible. And as you and me already know, the only way to cure damaged ends is to cut them off. So I flat ironed my hair and gave myself a small trim. I think I took off an inch and a half.

Here is the procedure I used to trim my hair.

My hair looks thinner than it really is because it was a little weighed down, i applied coconut oil on my hair for shine and to protect my ends. The cut was not as even as it should have been but it will do for now.

I am currently 13 weeks post relaxer and my new growth is starting to get a bit difficult to handle. So i have decided to moisturize and seal my hair more often in order to keep my new growth soft and manageable. I might do a Co- wash in the middle of the week when i have time to moisturize my new growth as well.

I am also dealing with major shrinkage when I wash and air dry my hair, I know this is mainly because of the under-processed (texlaxed) hair and the new growth. I don´t have a big problem with that but my hair looks a lot shorter than it really is and most of the time I can´t really track my length progress without straightening it.

 My hair was still damp at this point. Note the shrinkage on the left side compared to the stretched hair, quite a big difference i would say.

It has been 12 weeks since I got my last relaxer and even though I have quite some new growth, my hair is still quite easy to manage so I will keep stretching out my relaxer until I cannot manage it any more. Until then I will stick to my beloved protective hairstyles.

Here is the protective style I will be rocking this week.
