Sunday marked officially two years since I last used a chemical relaxer on my hair and oh my god, how time has flown! Over the last couple of months, I’ve been thinking about how best to commemorate this special occasion, without being too cliché i.e. writing yet another ‘X things I’ve learned’ type posts. Instead I’ve decided to do a progress type post, showing just how much my hair has grown in two years by sharing the same hairstyle two years apart.
i mean just wow at that growth! :O |
This whole journey has truly been such an eye opener into my hair, my identity and well, me. I went from feeling superhuman thanks to my rigorous regime that included DIY concoctions and six hour lead times, to struggling to fit it all into my schedule and lazy habit tendencies. Right now I’d say I’ve reached a happy median whereby I’m doing enough to ensure my hair is well taken care of, while also not sacrificing my whole weekend. I can’t wait to continue sharing this journey with you all.
