Yarn Twists Update

Hey beauties!

Today I am 15 weeks and 3 days post relaxer (my ticker is saying that I am 3 months 2 weeks and 4 days post but it all means the same, just in different measurements). I have been wearing my Yarn Twists for the past 3 weeks. I am really loving them. This is my first time doing my own yarn twist -- the first time I ever did them was in my mother's hair -- and might I say they came out very nice. I am very picky about how my hair needs to come out so of course they had to look decent. I am still getting compliments about my twist, some people didn't even know it was yarn and other's have never seen yarn used to make twists instead of braids.

All I have been doing is daily spritzing my scalp with Sta-Sof-Fro and at least once a week applying my grease/oil mixture after moisturizing. I have also been taking my One-A-Day Vitamins and MSM supplement. I feel like the MSM is really aiding the growth process of my hair, but we will have to just see once I get my relaxer is approximately 5 weeks. OOOOoooo I CAN'T WAIT!!!! My new growth feels oh so curly and hydrated! I can't seem to keep my hands out of my hair! LOL, sounds funny since most of my hair is actually put away.

School has been so hectic so I have yet to wash my hair. It doesn't itch or smell bad thanks to the help of Sta-Sof-Fro. Actually my praise team director complimented me by saying that I smelled good. I didn't have any body lotion or spray on so it had to be my hair. And yarn is a cloth material so it will hold on to the scent of whatever is put into my hair. Good thing I love the smell of Sta-Sof-Fro!!!

9 Weeks Post Relaxer

Hello Ladies!

Today makes me 9 weeks post relaxer. This past week I measured my new growth but my hair is still in braids under this wig, so the measurements may not be completely accurate. When I redo my braids I will take more precise measurements.

Two months of growth and my hair is shy of 1 inch. So this means that I should have grown out the trim I got in December. Hopefully my hair is back to the length it was before all the split ends and 1-inch cut. I am very proud of my hair right now!!

But at the same time I am so disappointed in myself. I haven't totally been sticking to my Boarding School Schedule. I have been slacking on water and haven't exercised. I know, I know! As Head Mistress I should be on top of everything but exams and studying is just getting in the way. School is getting in the way of the health of my hair, so I need to simplify my regimen even more. I am planning on changing some of the products I use, but I'm still doing research on what exactly I want. I just may go back to using many of the products I did at the very start of my journey.

At that time my hair seemed to love those products more than it does the products I use now. I just feel as if I am at a plateau, another reason why I restarted my Healthy Hair Journey. I need to find products that my hair likes and not just use what many of the other girls are using. Trial and Error.
