Monday Morning Hair Update! - Ahhh Those Bad Hair Dayz...

Hey There!

Happy Monday and Happy February!

Can you believe its February already?! Amazing...

This last week, Hair-wise hasn't been bad but it wasn't the best either, I was going good with my Regimen, Moisturizing and sealing at nights, satin scarf/pillow case, the works!

I had my hair in plaits, in larger sections this time (approx 8-10, I can't recall exactly) and I went diving on Sunday.

*woot woot! I finally got my card yesterday*

Mind you, once I put on the conditioner before I go diving I'm usually okay, but I know from past experience that the larger the plaits, the more the tangling I get after its been wet, specifically at the line of demarcation....

But I did it anyway,

SMH!

Anyhow, needless to say I had to deal with a real headache this morning trying to detangle my hair with the utmost patience, and still try to be on time for work!

Profectiv Leave-in Conditioner, Castor Oil, my wide tooth comb, my Goody Brush and my Headband SAVED MY LIFE this morning, 

To my hair products and tools: I salute you guys for all you did for me this morning! LOL!

Deep Conditioning in Braids - Listening to my hair!!!

Hey There Guys!

I just wanted to share a little something I noticed about my hair this weekend – Yes, I’m still learning, after all this time…

Turns out my hair Loves Deep Conditioning more often than I normally do it! At least of late it does – as in more than twice a week?!

Are you kidding?

#whohastimeforthat? Lol!

HOW I FOUND OUT: Okay, so on Saturday and Sunday I went diving, Yayness!

So I prepped my hair by putting it in braids with a twist for the last 1/3 of each section that I braided – I get less tangles this way...

Hair Care Regimen for 2015 - Keepin' it Super Simple in Braids!

Hey There Guys!

Is it me or is the New Year always full of to do lists,

and lists of to-do lists,

finding out that some of your lists are a bit long.....

so you revise the lists again! Whew!

I don't think I'm alone in this....right? I hope not... Back me up here guys! LOL!

Anyhow, I have decided to try to keep my CORE Hair Care Regimen simple and easy to stick to!

My Ultimate Goals: LENGTH RETENTION + GROWTH

As you know from my previous post that I am currently protective styling with Plaits... oh so exciting, lol

*Pic taken this week*

Okay so no it's not (I'm a tad bit sad at the current 'thinner' state of my hair, and maybe a bit of "trimmers remorse" - if there's such a thing, ah well it needed to be done!)

BUT

it will reduce the amount of time that I have to spend on my hair on a regular basis 

AND

I can still give my hair the TLC it needs - it needs a lot, very demanding this one, LOL

Happy New Year!...Just Married! :-)

Hey There Guys!!!

 ...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I hope you all had a safe and happy holiday and that the new year brings you all the joy, happiness and prosperity you desire

Big Hugz!

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!

Bridal Shower...

*My lovely bridesmaids :-) Who are also on hair journeys, Woot woot!
Wedding Day...

My Updated Hair Goal!!

Hey There Guys!

While doing my Last post "Birthday Hair Tag" I was going through my Hairstyles & Hair Inspiration Board on Pinterest for pictures that best described the hair I'd love to rock (if I could) on my Birthday...

And I came across one particular picture I had forgotten I pinned a while back, but for some reason it really stood out at me the other day...

Guys is this not Perfection?

Seriously?!

I knew immediately, THIS is my Hair Inspiration for my Next Birthday, April 2015!

I don't expect my hair to be exactly like anyone else's hair,
but rather,
the Thicker Healthier Version of my own hair,

Rachie 2.0!

:-)

*Notice the thinner relaxed ends vs the thicker texlaxed section - breakage at the line of demarcation is a bummer, plus my straighter hair looks thinner that the more textured hair in general*

 So at some point I'll have to cut off these thinner ends - planning to do it very gradually, on a monthly basis.

Time to get some GROWTH and LENGTH RETENTION in High Gear!

Woot woot!

I'm feeling all rejuvenated over here! Lol

Do you guys have any Hair Inspiration/Goal pics that keep you motivated on your HHJ?

Xoxo,

Rachie :-)
