March

Omg it's March all ready!!!!!

Time for some new goals:

I'm gonna lay off straight comparisions for a while, I wanna focus on natural length. So far I'd say it's about shoulder length, more near the base of my neck. I wanna aim for armpit length natural, so that would probably be about brastrap stretched.

The healing process:
My hair is so dry!!--ICK! It's from wearing it out and givin' it no love, so I gatta work on that:

DT 2x a week + showercap at night and co-wash daily until it's more moisturized. I can tell when it's well moisturized when I don't have to use so much conditioner when I co-wash, but there are some dry months that I can't dodge no matter what.

Scalp treatment: Massage oil into scalp daily, I'll probably do this to help with stress for means of motivation. Apply natural hair oil to ends, and hot oil treatment once a month.

Strength/Breakage: Protein treatment once a month (maybe). My conditioner all ready has protein in it, so I don't need to really focus on protein treatments, they are just important after recently straightening my hair.

Protective styling!!! You can't see it in the pictures, buuut I need to work on my ends. I'm gonna have to cut off... I'm guessing an inch, so until I do that I'm gonna try to do as many protective styles as possible and then make an appointment at a natural hair salon over the summer, maybe I'll get highlights ;). I'm just gonna keep my ends in good shape until then, I'm sooo tired of knots, they're just about killing me.

Styles to look forward to:

Braids
Twists
Coils

I'm thinking I'll keep braids/twists in for about a week. I HAVE to wash my hair just about everyday, so that = braids that like to unravel. Maybe I'll get some hairbands for the ends.
