2016 Hair Goals Review & Only 3 Goals for 2017?!

Remember how i felt when i was seconds into 2016?  Remember me saying i didnt know what to hope or wish for ? How i thought 2016 would hold alot of surprises for me ?

 Well it was indeed an Unpredictable year. The year started off well but getting to the middle of the year alot of things started happening and it caused me to be away from blogging for months till the end of the year. Guess what? I smiled on entering 2017. I even went out with my friends. I felt joy like I'm about to have a good year. I'm so thankful to God for all that happened the previous year. It happened to shapen me and prepare me for the blessings i believe are coming my way this year.


Here's a review of my goals for 2016.

Wash day: A wasn n go kind of Welcome !

Happy New Year loves ! Welcome to 2017!!!  Thank God for keeping us alive and well to see another amazing year ! Hope you and your Families had a wonderful Celebration ?

Following my last post i wore my wig all through the Christmas and New Year Celebrations because i travelled with my family to Anambra state and the harmattan there is quite strong.  I couldnt resist slapping on my wig. I am back now and back to my normal routine and washday happened today.

It was a really straight forward washday. I followed my usual steps but only that i did a wash n go.

Harmattan and Hair: How I curb dryness

Hey loves! How are you enjoying the season? I'm having a fun time with my family. You dont know but i have a big family with 5 elder brothers and a younger sister and its only seasons like this that we all get to be in one place! You can imagine the fun :-) (our grand ma is tired of them because they are constantly making her dance lolz)

I'm currently in my home town in Anambra State and the only thing that isn't fun here is the harmattan. Its really angry and as it blows it dries up your wet clothes (it really doesn't like seeing your clothes wet, it gets harmattan really angry lolz) it dries up every thing that has moisture.....which includes my hair *sad face*

Though I've run out of most of my hair products i was prepared for it and i'm here to share what I've been doing to my hair and will continue doing during this season of harmattan.

3 year HHJ hairniversary, Blogiversary and Relaxer update

Complements of the season dearies! How have you been? I have recieved tons of messages from you asking if i wont come back to update the blog or i possibly quit my hhj (ok no one asked that, lol). Its been a long while but I'm back and will be sharing my good news with you all.

Wash day: my new heat cap & loose waves style

The Eco styled gel and hair clamps are for a friend. All products pictured (processing caps and deep conditioning cap) we're purchased from Natural hair Products shop ng.

Hey ladies! I finally got to purchase a deep conditioning cap. Yes I haven't had one since the beginning of my hhj. I however have improvised using other means like; 

*Deep conditioning using body heat where I'll put on a shower cap or two shower caps and sometimes an extra head warmer just to create and trap the heat. I do  this for not less than an hour.

*Using my blow dryer. i just Put on a small plastic bag or a shower cap ...then a bigger plastic bag where I create a hole and insert the nozzle of my blow dryer. 

Thats it....the two ways I've been deep conditioning my hair. Now that I've got this steaming cap my wash days will be cut in half because all I need is 30 mins of Deep conditioning and I proceed to the next step. 

For this washday I,

How I style my hair: Bantu knots in....Soft curls out!

Left pic is loose waves later in the day...Right pic is soft curls just after take down

Everything about my recent relaxer touch up got me on cloud nine! Lol. The length of my hair is silky straight and smooth. The ends...oh well they just don't get as straight as the length and tend to revert quickly (I need not tell you that I did a thousand passes on the ends with my flat iron right?)

Relaxer Update after 11weeks stretch

Ponytail (after flat ironing)

My third Relaxer touch up for the year was days back at 11weeks post relaxer. I intended stretching till 12weeks but my hair refused to comply and the only thing I did to it was moisturise and seal...single braid and tuck. I wasn't feeling well and the thought of having another washday and loosing my ends due to matting while  detangling made me sicker than I was.

For this relaxer day, I still used Creme of Nature Argan oil No lye relaxer. I followed the same procedures in my previous relaxer days.
