Early Relaxer/Texlax update

My hair 80% air dried after relaxer touch up

Hey dearies! Been a while, I started strong with washday themes for this month but fell off with posting the washday posts because I had occupied my time with school activities.  The past week has really been stressful for me. I was sure that this stress would affect the health of my hair because I wouldn't have the patience  (and energy) to work with my hair.  I'm 10 weeks and 5days post relaxer with 11 weeks worth of very under processed hair from my previous relaxer so parting my hair for moisturising and detangling in general became tedious to me.

First curls for the year!

Hello my loves! This year is starting off on a good note for me, I hope it's same for you too :-) so this is supposed to come as a washday post but I didn't wash my hair.

I got so tired of having my hair straight from the flat ironing. Like I prefer wearing and seeing my hair curly than straight (don't get me wrong I mean 'curly' not kinky so going natural is so far from happening lol). So I set my mind on doing a Bantu knot out and then I saw that Jeni of just grow already blog and KLP of saving our strands blog already drafted out the washday themes for the month of January and the first week is in my favour! Yaaaay!

Welcome to 2016!.... My Goals for the new year!

It was almost midnight and we were about to begin a new year... 2016. So I laid on my couch and watched the clock as it ticked until it hit the mark (this is what I do every new year day)  Wow, I'm no longer in 2015?! It's now 2016... Obviously the dates have changed too. I was still there when I closed my eyes to pray. To Thank God for the months, days, hours and the past minute that I now call last year. I took time to reminiscence on all that had happened. The good, bad and fairly OK times. After concluding my prayer I tried to picture with my minds eyes how 2016 would be, but, I went blank.

Top 5 posts of 2015 + End of year Length check!

Complements of the season to you all!! 

Hello my loves :-) I hope the year 2015 is ending on a good note for you? I hope it's ending with joy in your hearts?  If not believe that 2016 will bring nothing but the best for us all, in all areas of our life, Amen!

So this post is one which I'm quite happy to write because it made me reflect on all I have been doing with my hair throughout the year 2015. I went through all of the posts I've written in search of my top 5 posts and it was a tough one for me. It was a clash between the posts you love and the posts I love but I must admit that my best posts came from my protective styling posts and my hair talk post. I tried my best to keep up with not only weekly wash days but the protective styles that follows for the benefits of ladies like me who prefer to wear only their hair.

Here are my top 5 posts of 2015 (click on the highlighted name of the post to read)

Product review- Ultra Black Hair

Hey dearies! Complements of the season to you all!  I hope everyone is having a blessed celebration. This is more of a product review post of some products I've been using lately.

I was sent these goodies from the Ultra Black hair products line to try out and I promise you that what you are about to read is a honest review of these products. The Ultra black hair company was founded by a black woman named Cathy Howse.

Relaxer update: Big Trim - Back to Armpit Length

Screams happily! Lol

So I finally got the courage to not only trim off those thin ends but I also flat ironed my hair... All by myself! *big grin*

(my sincere apologies to you my dear readers who have been waiting for this post since I shared some pictures of my trim on installation. The delay wasn't intentional I had a lot of problems adding pictures to this post and to top it all my new phone wasn't working well. I hope you understand :-)) 

Now I know you're probably  thinking, what's the big deal? Well flat ironing my hair all by myself feels like a big achievement to me lol. I simply got tired of seeing my ends look thin and break off by the day so I went out in search of my usual relaxer; ORS  no lye relaxer. Unluckily I didn't find it anywhere in the stores in my area.  I literally walked into all the stores  in my area but to no avail. At the last shop (a supermarket actually) I decided I'll still relax that day and so I got the one relaxer that caught my eye.

Hey loves! Very big thank You to the ladies who gave their contributions on my first hair talk post. I really appreciate your comments. 

This Washday experience is coming a bit late because i lost my phone (it was stolen at my shop...by a 'lady'). So its almost 3weeks late.  Honestly I thought it would take a long time before I got a new one but my mum knew i had to get a new one very soon because i blog with it and basically do everything with it. So i'm back with my regular blog posts.

I followed the same Washday routine but I decided that I have enough new growth for me to stop fussing around with my hair. Washing weekly and creating (sometines copying.. Hehe) protective styles weekly or every 5 days. It's 2months since my last relaxer and 2months to my next relaxer so I feel like I've reached that Mark where I should sit Tight and adjust my seat belts so I can have an awesome set back free ride. This doesn't mean I wount try out some really nice styles but could be one or two.
