Relax Update #2

Hello My Dears,
 I relaxed my hair according to my regular regimen today after being 3 months post relaxer. I was hoping to be able to stretch until December but the growth was enormous and the two  textures within my hair were battling against one another, so I had to relax or risk  breakage. After instituting different brand of castor and coconut oil about three weeks ago, my hair literally started sprouting out of head like weeds. I don;t know which of the two are causing this or maybe it was the combination of  both along with the carrot oil, but my hair growth rate has significantly increased. I'll continue to use the mix and see for myself if this change is what is causing the growth. I really am grateful to the bendy rolling. Styling my hair that way allows for low manipulation which has helped me to retain a lot of growth because I'm not messing with my hair all the time. I really think that I've found the lingua to my hair now. In any case I made sure to take pictures to document my growth an over all improvement.

 

In all I am extremely pleased with the progress I'm making. My highest goal is to reach arm pit length by March, god willing.

Until Next Time,
Zayna

Update!

Hello My Dears,
I know it has been a while since I last posted. College, work, and extracurriculars have really been taking up a great amount of time. My hair has actually been doing pretty well. I did however have a freak out the other day because my hair was shedding an excessive amount. My mom chalked that up to me being stressed out. In any case I started to drink a lot of water and have decided to cut out as much heavy starches and junk food as possible. I want to do a Master Cleanse again, just for detoxification purposes, but I'm not sure when would be a good time. Until I figure that out though I'm just going to focus on having a healthier diet. That Biotin that I was taking was extremely strong and so I had to split the table in half. I haven't been taking them lately though, so I need to get back to it. I have recently purchased Elasta Qp Olive&Mango Butter Moisturizer. I will be giving a review as I get a feel for it. I've also added Carrot oil to my oil mix as the weather changes into colder and dryer air, my hair tends to be even dryer than normal.

This is how I've been styling my hair with the back and the sides pinned up as to avoid my hair rubbing on my shoulders or getting snagged on clothing. I've noticed a definet change in the luster and fullness of my hair. I'm not sure what to attribute it too but I'm incredibly pleased with it.  I will be doing a legnth check too as I'm almost two months post.
