The Phased Big Chop! Oh, and I Also Texlaxed on Monday! :-)

Hey There Girlies!

I'm sorry I haven't been able to post as often as I would like, but I definitely will not leave you out of the loop that is "Rachie's Hair Journey" for very long.

As you know, I had quite a bit of shedding and breakage in Late November and during December 2014 due to the stress of Wedding preparations, The breakage is especially at the line of demarcation where my Relaxed dyed hair meets my Texlaxed hair.

I had made a plan (Much like Harlem from harlemhhj.blogspot.com)to hold out until my birthday in April to cut off the relaxed ends - woiii! the thought of cutting off 4" at once was scary.

So in the mean time I've been cutting bit by bit: 

about an inch in January, 

and inch and a half in February 

and this month, on Saturday March 21st I cut off 2 inches off of each plait!!!

Twist Take-down - Big Hair :-)

Heya, Happy Sunday!

I'm working this weekend, but I had to take down the twists to redo them, I try to not go longer than 10 days because:

(1) My hair tangles at the line of demarcation soon after this time period

(2) I need to deep condition AT LEAST once a week to keep my hair happy.... it's still recovering form December 2014, lol.

With LENGTH RETENTION in mind I was -well I tried for the most part - very very GENTLE with my strands on taking down the twists, to keep BREAKAGE at a MINIMUM.

(1) I Finger Detangled first

(2) Then used my wide toothed comb

(3) Then the Denman Brush

Where have I been you ask?

I got married to my best friend in the whole world on December 13th 2014 in my home town Montego Bay Jamaica! Yayness!

It was a lovely very small & intimate gathering of family and dear friends,

But don't let "small and intimate" fool you, it was nuff work and stress to prepare for so yeppers peppers I definitely wasn't able to blog at that time.

I would like to share a few pics though!
