I have been
missing for so long it’s probably looked like I just gave up blogging and moved
on with life. That has definitely not been the case but the last few months
have been so hectic that my blog has had to take a back seat.
My last post was
back in February and my last hair update was at the beginning of January which
documented my last relaxer update from the end of December in which I also
spoke about experiencing breakage to the nape of my hair.
When it has come
to my hair over the last 4 months, I have kept things very simple. There have
been a few weekends where I just couldn’t face washing my hair and kept putting
it off so instead I would apply extra virgin olive oil from root to tip and go
about my day. This was always with the intention of washing my hair on a Monday
evening but there have been times, I just kept applying more oil until I was
ready to wash my hair and surprisingly, my hair loved it.
I have had my
hair in a low manipulation style every day for the last four months, I wasn’t
happy with my ends and my goal was to grow out my hair and recover from the
nape breakage before giving myself a good trim and making my hair even.
Two weeks ago, I
had washed my hair and applied my leave- ins and was about to move on to
blow-drying when I noticed just how bad my ends were so decided to take them
off one time. I took off about 2 inches and it made such a dramatic difference
to how my hair felt and looked.
Following my
trim, my hair is back to health and I can now focus on being consistent with my
hair regime and growing out my hair. As much as I am aware that my wash day
posts could be pretty boring or repetitive, I have decided to go back to
documenting my weekly wash days so that if and when required I am able to go
track what I have been doing with my hair and if trying new products I can see
what works and does not work for my hair.
