When and why did I start my hair journey? Wholehearted in January 2013. I've been a member of hair care sites but wasn't faithful in the care of my hair. I made it official because I would talk to family and people I came in contact with about what they should do and I could see them checking out my hair or my daughters and know what they were thinking, 'how you gonna tell me what to do and your hair looks like that'? So I kicked out this year with a resolution I'd follow NO MATTER WHAT!
Hair Goals? Reach APL by end of 2013 and be able to stretch 10-12 weeks at a time.
Have I reached them? No, it doesn't look like I'll reach APL but I'll keep trying...you never know what hair will do :) I'm just 6 weeks post now and hope to stretch for the remainder of September.
How am I working to achieve them? I am protective styling for the remainder of September.
What I wish I knew at the beginning of my journey? Patience, sticking to the basics and to keep a better journal. There are things I did and products I used a few years back that thickened my hair that I don't remember now. Now I've started a YouTube channel and keep a blog...Hello lesson learned.
Favorite protective style(s)? two-strand flat twist, roller and rod sets. I have layers and can't wait to do buns.
What motivates me? Family is a positive influence. Being able to break stereotypes about ethnic hair and the achievements we can make with our hair.
Happy Healthy Hair Journey!
