ONE YEAR HAIR JOURNEY

HELLO guys

We woman have a relationship with our hair, we want it long and healthy, and each of us have a method that work for her. It is been almost a year since i big chopped my hair , I will be sharing with you guys what I have been doing.


It is not easy to keep up with a complicate hair routine and get my mom duties done, so I try to keep it as simple as I can. I big chopped my hair for the third time last year around this time of the year I do not remember the exact date but It will be one year next month.



The picture below shows how my hair  looks 1 ou 2 week after the big chop

The first month of my big chop I did not do  much to my hair, I shampoo and condition my hair every week , I moisturize it and oil my scalp 2 times a week, which help with grow. When it started growing I will tread my hair to stretch it and put on wig for protective style.

when I got better length I could braid my hair and reduce my wash days to 2 times a month, moisturize and still oil my scalp at least 2 times a week, I was not very consistent with oiling my scalp I could skip weeks sometimes because I felt lazy and have too much in my plate, but it was ok, hair still grow. I also use hair mask and prep my hair before shampoo once in a while.

As my hair grows I try new product that I found on the market to make my journey more fun. At this date this is how my hair looks.

I'm very proud of my grow below are product that I have been using since I started this hair journey, I really think that products matter because for afro hair its could be hard to keep moisture in your hair. These products  help me keep my hair moisturize  and also shampoing and conditioning it every two week is a must. we also need to seal the moisture with oil mean that you have to apply oil on your hair after you apply your leave in conditionner or moisturizer. My favorite oil is coconut oil, I started using argan oil few weeks a ago, its also work pretty well for dry hair and scalp massage.

Shampoo is FRANK PROVOST Paris
Conditionner: Camille Rose
Hair mask : Garnier Ultra doux
Moisturizing curl activator and coconut curling CREAM : CantU
Coconut oil    : Shea moisture

I used vitamin and stopped 2 weeks later because I felt bloated and lazy to take it everyday. Below is the vitamin I used.

I'm not an expert so I will suggest you to ask your Doctor before you use any vitamin.
this could be a good one, so I will try to be consistent with it to see the benefit of it and will share with you guys my result.
                      
Last but not least always wrap your head with satin scarf at night for bed time, I do not always use one or it fail when I m sleeping, but it is a must have for your hair journey, its help reduce breakage at night.

Drink a lots of water and healthy diet to help with grow.


This is  what I have been doing this past month on my hair, I feel that having a regimen for my hair help me to retain length and moisture in my hair. I hope this help and pleas share with me what you guys do for your hair regimen.

HOW I KEEP MY POOR CLEAR

hello ;
Today I will be talking about how I keep my face clear, As a black Woman I suffer from a lots of skin problem from discoloration, blemish, pore and so much more but I also enjoy skin care product and the idea of perfect skin even though there isn't  a such thing that's perfect. Because of that I use a lot of products from the gentle to the harsher, from the cheapest  to the most expensive, in fact I have come to the conclusion that it is not the product  neither the price that matter the most in skin care but it is how consistent you are the better your skin will look. I still buy product as long as I find myself attracted to it or to the price and try them until I find my soul mate skin care produit. right now my favorites are shown in the picture below. I have been using thes products for months and some for years.
