Why my hair didnt progress in April

[Sieda]

Happy Friday Ladies!

Why my hair didn't progress last month:

I felt that I had to do an assessment on why I did not see progress in my hair last month. I opted not to blame my regimen/ products.

**5 Reasons I did not see progress in April:

1. I neglected to dust/ trim - I WAS not a trimmer…EVER. I have a hair license and have had one for 9 years, but, I have never been a trimmer (with regards to my own hair). My ends were split and ended up splitting up my hair shaft. I will now loose 3-4 inches in some areas.

2. I went to a Dominican salon to get a blowout (out of impatience and mere want to see if I progressed) and this prompted my split ends disaster with the tension that was used.

3. I neglected to drink 37+ ounces of water each day.

4. I only worked out sporadically.

5. I worried a lot in April ...about nothing.

The purpose of this post is for me to verbalize the fact that I take full ownership of my hair pitfalls for the month of April.


Thanks for reading.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I haven't dusted for a while either and I was just thinking recently that I need to start dusting my ends more - especially now since I'm transitioning.

I have a question.....
I only wash my hair once a week, how can add moisture to my hair without weighing my hair done and looking like a grease monkey? I wanted to try EVOO or coconut oil. I am so frustrated right now!

Sieda,

No worries lady. We can work on 3-5 together. What do you plan on doing differently in May?

That is good that you took an honest assesment of your hair.

I did that after my 26 weeks post and some of my hair broke at the line of demarcration-
I did all the protien treatments however, no mositure afterwards =/. Now I know when I do protien mositurize like crazy after.

Yes we can!

I've already increased my water intake and I am doing up to 10 miles of jogging per week. I have given up on stressing (over nothing) and trying to take it easy. I did the Alma and Brahmi last night, and am reducing the tension on my hairline.

What do you think caused the split ends?

What do you think caused the split ends?

In my case. I believe I had split ends for a while due to infrequent trims, sewn in weaves, and blow drying. I'm transitioning from all that damage and my former way of thinking. I am pro trim now! Not saying that those things are damaging for everyone, just were for me.

Just wondering because I am an avid no trimmer and trying too avoid anything that could compromise that.

Use them at night before you tie your hair up!
