Length Check Plus My
Hair Routine And Regimen
So I just started my healthy hair journey in December 2011.My
last real relaxer stretch was from October 27, 2011 to April 4, 2012. I was ok,
I was really trying to go until June 2012 but you know I just couldn’t wait I was
itching like crazy to get another relaxer.
Next I’m going to do my relaxer stretch
from now (April 5 2012 – August 2012)
well that is my plan. The whole point of me doing these long stretches
is to avoid over processing my hair and damaging my scalp from so much frequent
chemicals. So by limiting the amount of time I apply chemicals to my hair I’m
reducing the chance of overlapping and over processing any previous relaxed
hair. I’m also giving my hair and scalp some breathing room. Thus reducing
breakage of hair strands.
So ok my length checks as been good so
far ( on an average human hair grows half an inch per month, give or take
depending on a few factors like genetics, diet, and health.) I’ve been able to
keep my my ½ inch of growth which is evident
in the ends of my hair yay! You might not see any real length change now
through the pictures above and also it is really early on in my healthy hair
journey.
Here is a Snap Shot Of my Current Hair Regimen:
DAILY:
-Moisturize and sealing my
hair ends with (water based moisturizer & Sealing with a natural oil(s)
such as olive oil, coconut oil etc.)
-Criss cross wrapping my hair (this
method drastically reduce breakage of my ends and promote length retention)
-Tying up my hair night
-Using my fingers to detangle my hair
at first then using a large tooth comb
-Be really gentle with my hair.
WEEKLY:
-Protecting my hair ends by wearing
protective styles I do this honestly maybe 1-3 times a week it works for me you
might have to do more.
-Cleaning my hair by shampooing, follow
up with conditioner some times I put some oil in the conditioner to deep
condition my hair.
-Rinse and add some leave-in
conditioner
-Roller set. Some times I allow my hair
to dry by air or I go sit under the hooded dryer (NO
DIRECT HEAT. SUCH BLOW DRYING AND BRUSHING MY ENDS CAN YOU SAY BREAKAGE ANY
ONE!)
Ok that’s it. Please feel free to share
your hair care regimen for naturals, relaxed or transitioning.
