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!
Just to clear the air I am a 25 year old nursing student, with many goals planned to achieve. The goals that I will be focusing on in this blog are:
1. Graduate from my program (and continue my education)
2. Grow healthy hair
3.Maintain healthy hair
I am a very simple to life kinda girl and don't like things to be to complicated. I believe anything and everything in this world has a simpler form that includes nursing, life, love, friendships/relationships, success, etc. I just love a stress free way of living and thinking (thanks to yoga!).
