First Protective Style for 2019
We used 3 packs as I requested for long braids. I will keep them for 8 weeks and get a new one installed. Why?
The goal this year, as I mentioned, is to reach shoulder length and one way to do this is to protect the hair. Now, considering that the hair is super short, daily combing won't augur well with the retention I want hence braids will be a good option for the year.
In other news, I'm 4 weeks post relaxer and it's very exciting seeing new growth come in.
I'm still on the Synergy hair skin and nails vitamins for the next 20 days. After that, I may opt for Alive gummies or women's gummies for the remainder of the year.
I haven't mentioned any relaxer application because the touch up at the earlier part of January was to cover up the bald edges I had. Fortunately the edges are growing back.
If all goes well, my hair should be around 4 inches by April hence trimming off the remaining coloured parts will help better with retention. All the same, I may decide to keep it until the end of the year.
Talking about 2019, we are 1 month gone already and 11 months to go! I'm counting and taking it one month at a time to enjoy this process. I'm in no rush to play with my *natural* hair until I reach a comfortable length.
I'm using natural to refer to my own hair. So, the big question is whether my hair is going to stay relaxed? I don't know yet. All I know is I want my hair to be healthy and to grow. When I see the growth I have in April, I'll decide on what to do.
Until then, stay tuned for more hair updates as we count down to the braids take down.
