Hair Update (41 Months)

It's been awhile since my last post but nothing much has been going on. Yes, I'm still enjoying my journey. For the past months I've kept my hair short because I'm really loving it that way, and I find it way easier for me to maintain.

For right now I've decided to grow the top portion of my hair out while I'll keep my undercut. We'll see how that goes.

Product Review: Blue Magic Argan Oil Leave-in Conditioners

 

I've been using these leave-in conditioners for over 2 years now and I must say that I really do love them. There are three different kind in the Argan oil line, they are: Vitamin E(Nourishes Dry Hair), Mango and Lime(Anti-Frizz Botanical Formula), and Herbal Complex(Hydrating Formula). I took it upon myself to try all of them over the couple years. The first one that I tried was the Vitamin E, I've purchase this twice and I really love it. It does what it claims to do which is nourish dry hair. The Herbal Complex which I recently purchase is also amazing, I would say that it very similar to the vitamin e. The Mango and Lime is also great but is my least favorite simply because it has a very strong overpowered fragrance. Even though the others have a sweet smell to me they're not as strong as this one so I probably will not be repurchasing that one. Overall these leave-in conditioners is a must have for me even though there ingredients are not 100% all natural I don't mind.

New Year, New Journey

1: Hair Section Off, 2&3: Length Check

After months of trying to figure out what the next step is going to on my hair journey, I had finally made up my mind that shaving the back and sides of my hair was what I wanted for me. I get bored soo easy when it comes to my hair, and after growing it out for over 34 months I just couldn't take it anymore. I have never been able to wear my own hair beyond a certain length, and just because I'm wearing it (my hair) in its natural state is no exception. I really wanted to wait until my 3 year mark but, who was I fooling?! From the moment I cut it back in November I knew I couldn't held on for long.

Thursday, January 16th 2014 at around 3pm I section off the hair at my nape and just cut without hesitation. FYI: It felt soo good.

Nape after cutting

Yesterday morning I couldn't wait to do the remaining section of hair, so I grabbed my scissors and start cutting. After using the scissors I used my dads clipper with the #1(1/8") guard and do the finishing touches. All I have to say is that I feel free. Although my family reaction was not pleasant I expected that from them because they don't understand and may never understand why I always cut my hair.

After cutting the other section

I'm gonna be keeping my hair short for awhile, someday I know I will grow it back again.

After washing and styling

Next morning, getting better at doing 2-strand twist with perm rod.

For right now the length that I will probably grow back my hair to is when I was 5 months in my hair journey. I really loved the way my hair was at that stage.
