Crown and Glory 2023!

Ordered the same hair but with the 27 instead of 30. Going to ask my friend to help me take my braids out because you can re-use this hair. I don’t want to cut it out.


Taking it down Friday evening hopefully.

Took my crochet braids out. Sitting in a henna gloss. I’m going to rinse it out in a few , shampoo , condition, and a 10 minute deep conditioner. Add leave in conditioner and revair.


My hair feels fuller and looks longer. I’m going to just pull it out slightly tonight and then tomorrow a little more so I can get my crochet braids reinstalled.

I feel so relieved that all my hard work is paying off. My unstretched hair is visibly longer. My stretched hair is visibly longer and thicker. I feel good about my routine going into 2025.

I did tweak it slightly because this henna gloss covered my grays nicely.

4 weeks braided style. Infusium Pro and Taliah Waliah Bodifier on my cornrows under the crochet braids.

Take down. Henna Gloss. Bondbar shampoo conditioner. Deep conditioner. (Thinking about Olaplex leave in and Sarenzo Batana leave in)

Solid vitamin supplement routine

One week down. Three weeks to go in my latest protective style. I’ll be interested to see if my hair feels different in three weeks when I take it down as I’ve stopped taking Geritol to see how Mary Ruth impacts my hair for the next three months.

I don’t plan on trimming my hair again until March 21st , 2025.

I need to repurchase some Bondbar shampoo , conditioner and deep conditioner as I’m almost out.

Two weeks down and two weeks to go before I take my hair down. I’m debating on how I want my hair because I’ll be goin on a short birthday cruise for my youngest on the 23rd and I’ll be taking my hair down on the 18th.

I will not be able to get my hair crochet back up until the 19th which is fine. I think im going to ask my friend can be pre plan my hair schedule barring any thing she has so I can be on a solid schedule for 2025. I do not want to keep my hair braided more than 4 weeks at a time. I think 5-6 weeks is pushing it and my hair and scalp suffer. I just need to figure out what hair I want to install. I think this Saturday , I’m going up to the BSS and take a look before I order anything.

This year and 2026 , I want my hair to be very low maintenance and only have to daily spritz and take my supplements.

• Quarterly trims.
• Monthly henna.

This weekend I need to reup on my shampoo and conditioners from Bondbar.


2027, I plan to wear my hair out , dependent on my job location. This new job commute has really shaped my whole routine with everything.

One more week of this protective style and then it comes out on Saturday. I need to get to Sally’s to pick up my shampoo. I’ve been procrastinating about it seeing how I know I can get it locally.

Taking the kitten to the groomers in the morning , then stopping by Sally’s to pick up my shampoo/conditioner.

I can’t wait to take my hair down Saturday afternoon
