HERE WE GO, FROM THE TOP!

I started my hair journey in August of 2012 after stumbling on a few videos on YouTube. I never thought to grow my hair out long. I never really paid attention to my hair to be honest (I was a ponytail girl). Then I started thinking back into the past and looking at old pictures and realized that my hair never really grew passed armpit level in my teenage to adult life. (when I was younger it was a different story)... so, then I said to myself ,"hey why not give it a try, Is it really possible to take care of my hair in such a way that It will grow passed my shoulders, waist and beyond"?

I have always been the kind of girl to be pampered, my hair and nails were always done for me at salons. That's when I realized that I really don't know a thing about taking care of my hair. I had to do research on top of research and created what I feel may work to help me reach my goal of waist length hair. The key elements so far have been:

  • Deep conditioning
  • Keeping my hair moisturized
  • Always tying my hair up at night
  • not wearing tight ponytails

It has now been six months and counting on this journey, and I feel I have learned a lot about my hair, but still have  far much more to learn. I purchased a length check t-shirt to help gauge my progress and I will say that I have moved from a line 2 on the shirt to a line 5 in the six months by taking care of my hair all by my lonesome... I am pretty proud of myself but I want more... and damn it I shall have more.

Stay tuned!
