Slacking with hair maintenance

[makeupgirl]

ok I must confess, my schedule has be so busy that I haven't had the time or energy to co wash or even moisturize daily like I should. I just throw my wig off and put my satin bonnet on and go to bed. When I get up in the morning, I put my wig cap and wig on and keep going, after I've bathed and dress of course.

Is anyone else ever gone through this or I'm the lone ranger. I know I need to get back on the stick. I'm having a hard time reengerizing my hair routine.

Think about what will happen if you continue on not taking care of your hair. Gurl you have worked TOOO hard to get where you are!!!
We all have those moments...ok, maybe not all, but we look for some support from the folks at LHCF and get back on track.
Ok...maybe me...lol, not we...you'll get back on gurlie...just take it one day at a time.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn't had those moments, I know I for sure have! What always gets me back on track is thinking about my goals and where I want to be and what I want to achieve in the near future.

Keep growing.

I second what Love~Above~Color says. I slacked off for the past few months and had to get a haircut and start over... well, my hair was already damaged but you get the point.
Just fix your hair maintenance schedule around what you are doing now. So maybe you don't co-wash regularly anymore but you make sure to moisturize at least once a day or every other day when before you put on or take off your wig.
Oh, and get a hair idol. lol Or just remember your hair goals. That is what got me back on track.

Continue thinking about your hair goals and that will keep you encouraged!

I had a slacking minute...I got encouragement from the ladies and quickly got back on my reggie, the results have been wonderful.

Renew your "hair vow" today, and recommit. You'll be so happy you did, and share some pics, of your progress.

It has happens to me more than I'd like to admit. But just as, Love~Above~Color said, it is always in the back of my mind what will happen if I don't get back my act together. I usually can guilt myself into getting back into the swing of things. But I also think my hair has a mind of it's own sometimes and will look like its breaking or damaged, or it could just be paranoia, but after alittle TLC, it bounces right back.

Happens to me, then I just come on here and look through hair care tips or I look at hair porn and I'm back on track. Although even when I'm on track I think that there's A LOT more I could do for my hair like longer conditioning times, search and destroy, etc.

I'm going through it right now. Sometimes it's as if I need someone to push me to do my hair. IDK, I used to be so enthused just talking about haircare and products, but now I feel so blah.

Maybe it's because I caused my hair to be heat damaged last year, and had to cut my hair back to APL, where I started, in November. I was almost MBL, so It was disappointing.

Thanks everyone for the luv and support. I'm going to get back on the stick. I might have to just schedule time in or just focus on my hair before bedtime.

I totally understand! I have a very hectic work life sometimes I can do everything that I want to do to my hair. That's why I try to have the most simple regime possible. If I can't do much, I try to moisturize my hair and leave it alone.
