Grow African Hair Long GAHL
  • Hello Dear readers,
    So it's been a while since I re-started my healthy hair journey.
    I haven't posted any update to date but to be honest it has been quite a challenge dealing with such short hair.
    The mega trim that I had last time left my hair so short that even holding all my hair into a ponytail needs bobby pins support.

    I've been washing weekly and I've realized that the moisturising Deep Conditioner is really minimizing breakage and so I haven't used my protein Deep Conditioner for a while.
    My new growth and the texlaxed hair form such a dense base that has to be treated differently from how I normally treat my straight relaxed hair.

    I have been spraying a water/aloevera juice mixture on these two textures and moisturizing my relaxed strands with my moisturizing lotion and sealing with coconut oil...
    I'm currently about 9 weeks since my last relaxer and I got braids installed last week.
    I'm not as gentle with  handling my new growth as Joanne is with hers so braids come in handy at times.
    Protective style: medium braids


    I plan to keep them in for 4 weeks,wash them fortnightly,oil my scalp with castor oil and spritz water/glycerin/aloejuice mixture if need be.
    Till next time.
    God bless

    Dear Gahl Readers,

    I've gone missing for such a long time, actually this was my last hair update, but to justify this, its been for a worthy and time demanding course because I went back to school last June. The biggest downside is that I got too busy that I neglected my hair journey. As a result, I ended up with very damaged hair. My hair was breaking  a lot due to split and my ends we so thin.
                                               Back in July 2012: The thinning had already began.

    The length of my hair also became so uneven and for months I'd been too dissatisfied to continue keeping unhealthy hair.( especially being aware of how well Joanne's hair is doing)I resorted to a fresh and healthy start as at 28th April 2013. 

    I texlaxed my hair just enough to retain the thickness that I desired. I cut my hair to a healthy neck length and that's my starting length. I have such a long way to go but I'm happy about a healthy head of hair and definitely about a whole healthy new journey.
    Is there anyone out there who would like to take this new journey with me? we could keep track of each other share our challenges and just walk with each other. I envision a healthy arm pit length hair come December 2013.
     
    I will try to do posts as often as I can to keep you posted on my new healthy hair journey.
    Check out the pictures of my new hair!
                                                           This is what my hair looks like now.

    Till next post, healthy hair journey and God bless.
