3years after my setback, What my hair looks like now

Hello loves! It's been a long while! I sincerely hope you've been great :-) oh how I miss  blogging! 

Its been 3years since I had a setback that took me from almost waist length to very thin and unhealthy armpit length hair. You can read about my setback Here.

I like to refer to the years from my setback till now as my second healthy hair journey, you can find my progress pictures from my first hair journey 2013-2017 Here. My setback happened in 2018 and I was almost at waist length. I have basically been tending to my hair to get back it's health and thickness. I didn't go for a big trim or cut, I simply grew my hair out and trimmed monthly and I currently have very little parts at the very tips which still have permanent hair colour in them but it's generally not that visible.

I basically followed a simple routine. My hair was mostly in twists and on very few occasions I had braids done with extensions as a protective hairstyle.

Formulating products with the intent of tackling the major problems I had as a result of the setback also helped me bounce back. I have consistently used the Ultimate hair growth system from my brand of Haircare products (which is available for delivery worldwide). The tripple threat ultimate hair growth system has an ayurvedic hair growth oil to help grow hair faster and stronger, the volumising and hydrating hair mist is moisture packed hair mist with a light protein to keep the hair balanced and in great shape for daily maintenance. The cocoa Shea hair butter perfectly provides conditioning effect while locking in the moisture from the hair mist.

The ingredients I chose in my products were all intentional (based on their functions and effects on the hair strand and scalp) and they have lived up to expectations.  

Currently my hair is full bra strap length with 95% of the damage gone (as seen in the picture of my blow dried hair above). It took alot of trimming and I have quite gotten used to my monthly trimmings that I doubt if I want to pursue waist length hair again.

Here are pictures of my hair currently from my last Relaxer in April, 2021.

Hair Update June 2019: Setback Recovery.

Hello loves, hope you're having a lovely week? This is basically an update on how far my hair has recoverd from the setback early last year.

December 2018, inverted v was gradually setting in and hair becoming thinner.

Hi loves! Guess who reached the 5th year mark of being in a healthy hair journey? Me! *throws confetti!* Click on the Hair Progress pictures bar above to see my progress over the years before i dyed my hair.

Well for me its not a journey anymore, you know when you're journeying you have a destination and that destination for us is our haircare goals. Once we get to the goal/destination we stop journeying, we settle and decide to carve a niche for ourselves there.

I'm back, Introducing my First Hair care Product - Extreme Hair Growth Elixir

My loves, Will I ever apologise enough for leaving you guys without a word? I feel someone is reading this and saying "oh well she posted today, wonder what she's been up to that has kept her away!" (Hides face).

I have been trying to get the balance once again. What balance? The experience of having a setback together with colouring my hair threw my hair totally off balance. I'm glad I'm getting back on my fit now! Yes I have actually been up to something and it was triggered by the quest to get my hair back to the length and fullness it had just last year 2017.

Hey loves in this post I will be answering some questions that I've gotten from ladies about my hair in this new state - coloured state.

Now even though some of these questions sound silly to me it actually bothers some ladies and I think these questions are as a result of the general 'fear of colouring' relaxed hair. Again it could be as a result of some myths hovering in our minds and passed down from generation to generation. Oh well, let's get right into debunking those myths.

1. Its said that its bad to colour your hair why did you colour it?

I dyed my hair a second time!

Hey loves! Hope you're good? This is a really long post and I'm really sorry about that I hope you have the patience to read it.

 So ladies a couple of things happened between my last post and now. I washed my hair about 2 weeks after dying it and all of the colour came out completely. Fast forward a couple of washes after and there was no colour on my hair except the one left after the peroxide bleaching. I wanted to redye my hair but I thought it may cause damage to dye the hair like back to back so I decided I'd just leave it till after the end of my relaxer stretch.

I relaxed my hair 2weeks ago using ORS relaxer (the sachet type) and while I got my relaxer a also got the box of dye. This time I got the Creme of Nature Exotic shine colour in Intensive red 7.6.

From Black to Red; my hair dye experience

From black to...

Red. Dark and lovely - Vivacious Red

Hey loves! Happy New year to you all. Following my last post I went ahead and did what I have always wanted to do - dye my hair.

I was pretty sure the dye won't take well whether I used a semi permanent dye or a permanent one because my hair is really dark. There was no other way I could think of than to bleach my hair to strip some of the colour off.
