Before starting my blog or right at the beginning, I should have asked and also answered this question: “Why should anyone go on a hair journey?” Why the hair journey?Why not? I went on my first hair journey because I just felt like there was something better that I could be doing to take care […]
My backyard This is my first winter since my big chop. I’ve gone through winters as a natural before but I don’t really have any tips from these experiences. I wasn’t on a hair journey back then. Winters are hard on my hair in general. I noticed that during my relaxed hair journey. Here is […]
I went to a salon this time. I was tired of battling under processed hair. I will go back every other relaxer because she’s ok. Not perfection, but I can talk to her and tell her what I prefer.It started badly because I forgot my relaxer tub at home so I had to use what she had. I […]
Yesterday was my last wash day before my next relaxer, Saturday… I am super excited. 11 weeks post this time. I will go to a stylist for the first time since I started my hair journey (for this service). I’m nervous. I keep telling myself my hair won’t fall out even if she doesn’t do […]

I bought them yesterday and used them today on my wash day. My first impression… I loved them!!!!!!!! All […]
After 5 years on my hair journey, I felt it was time to switch gears and try the natural route. It was a sudden decision, but one month later, no regrets. Quite the opposite… I learned everything I needed to learn about relaxed hair and see that it is a suitable hair style for many […]
I have decided to end my relaxed hair journey and move on to the next step. I am starting my natural hair journey. I did not want to transition. I big chopped just like that one day.Here are the most important things I have learned from my relaxed hair journey: · Moisturizing regularly – I used to moisturize daily in the […]
I pre-pooed at home. She didn’t mind at all. I was happy about that. I know I can always do that. She shampooed with a Nioxin shampoo (I forget which one – I’ll look it up). Then she put a reconstructor and let it sit in my hair no plastic cap, no heat. Rinse that […]
