A Hard Reset

Setting Hair Goals

I've spent the majority of this year trying to do a better job of caring for my hair. Let's just start there.

I spent about five months with my hair under 2 different sew-ins. I needed to hide my hair from myself, protect it, and give it a chance to grow after a major cut. I was successful at doing that and happy with the progress and growth. While my hair was under wraps, I had a heart to heart with myself about how I would approach my hair once it was out. I set some goals. Even thought I haven't been here in a minute, I've started this process already. I needed to lay out the plan here, and do a better job of documenting what's going on, so let's take a look:

Pharr Away Turns Three!

Happy Birthday Pharr Away!

Today my best friend's blog, Pharr Away, turns three years old! She is my go to for everything blog related! I remember the humble beginnings of her blog and giving feedback to her about publishing it! She encouraged me to document my hair journey, so after much some prodding I decided to give it a try. I'm so thankful that she was there to help me expand the blog to what it is today, and I'm even more grateful to be able to use her blog as a guideline! Pharr Away helps me push myself farther than I ever would have thought to go and I'm forever appreciative for that inspiration!

38 Months Natural

SO! Sew-In #2 comes out and I feel it was a success. As tempting as it is to go right back and get another one, I'm deciding to give my hair a break. I kept the last sew-in for a total of 9 weeks and I've continued to take Hairfinity, drink a lot of water, and make sure my hair stays as moisturized as possible! Let's see my results!
