FIRST SALON VIST IN A YEARS TIME!

So, I stopped going to the salon a year ago for 2 reasons I wanted to learn how to do my own hair, and it was getting too expensive. Now that I have been taking care of my hair myself I have maintained the thickness... going to the salon before this I would always leave with thin, thin, hair due to excessive heating, or over processing till I have bone straight relaxed hair.

Since I have been on the journey for these 6 months I have relaxed my hair 3 times on my own and on all occasions I have under processed my hair, which is better than over processing because it keeps more protein in the hair strand making it stronger than bone straight strands. My last relaxer and heat pass was feb. 14th 2013 and there was a lot of texture left in my hair which made it take longer to straighten my hair with the blow dryer at the salon (this was a sign that I am doing something right!!!).

I may incorporate a salon visit once every 2 months or so into my regimen. The reason why is because manipulating my hair in a straight state leaves a hell of a lot less breakage, when it is thick and coiled I see way more broken hairs in my wide tooth comb or on my hands even with gentle manipulation. So, I choose less breakage over more breakage.


I made it to line 6, a whole 2 months before my goal!!
