Relaxed Hair journey post – Practicing patience… so hard (July 15, 2009)

What a journey!!! Waiting for length can be really hard some days but hair grows really slowly and don’t we all know it. Day by day, I try not to focus on length. I try to focus on care. I take care of my hair every day (moisturizing, sealing, washing, conditioning, treating, etc). I only check for length when I straighten my hair (blow dry+flat iron) which is less and less these days. I used to do it every week-end for church on Sunday morning, but I haven’t done it since I noticed breakage at my front edges and nape area (a month ago maybe). I think I’ll start straightening my hair only on relaxer day and on special occasions (very very special – wedding, birthday, Christmas and/or New Year). I guess that means no length check pictures regularly (how boring). I’ll try to take pictures of cute styles I pull off, I guess. *sigh* HHG, anyway!
