Relaxer Update

This is just an update on what's been going on recently. I relaxed on Thursday at 10 weeks post. This was kind of an accident because I wanted to relax a little earlier, but times were conflicting and it just happened that way. Now with this relaxer I really wasn't looking forward to it. I knew I was due for a GOOD trim. And a good trim I got. While my aunt was putting in the relaxer she noticed the lower middle section of my hair thinning more than usual. Now in the past I've noticed this section before, just never really paid attention to it. So I took all of this in and will be starting the Castor Oil challenge at the end of the month. I don't know why it's taken me this long to realize it but I haven't been paying enough attention to what my hair actually needs and what I want to do to it. So I'll be posting a few reviews of some products I recently purchased and summer goals to get my hair back to where it needs to be.

8 Weeks Post Relaxer!! Boooo!!

The results of my bantu knots

So today marked 8 weeks post relaxer. I know that sounds WWAAYY early to the vets but for my first stretch I think I did an okay job. Next time I will definitely meet my 10 week stretch goal. I also relaxed early because of the upcoming Mardi Gras weekend and my mini-vaca with a really close friend and her family. I don't want everyone waiting on me to do my daily hair routine so I went ahead and relaxed. I'll post another bantu knot out that I wore today and my first LENGTH CHECK pics. AAAHHH super excited!!!!
