Got a Trim!

I recently trimmed my hair because over the past couple of months, I noticed that I can't put a comb or my hands in my hair without it breaking. I am plagued with single strand knots, weathered tangled ends, and breaking strands.
I decided to look at what I was doing to my hair and my routine and I realized:

  • I don't wash regularly
  • I rearly deep treat
  • I don't seal my ends properly or enough
  • I don't detanlge properly
  • and I may be too rough with the comb

With all of that my hair still grew to just above the armpit but I trimmed them because I knew that if I didn't, them I was be sacrificing all the length I so dearly desire.





Do those look good?
I will tweak my routine to include regular washing, deep treatments, sealing a good balance of protein and moisture. I also will be using Kimmaytubes leave-in exclusively. I'm done with all the big name brands that do nothing for my hair. Her leave-in works great in my hair I don't know why I even stopped using it.....

After the trim I noticed that I still have some weathered ends and knots but I'll do  my best to get rid of them over time. I will also be trying Henna for the first time!





My hair before the trim
My hair after the trim. Im going to see how I can hid my ends, though it may be hard seeing that my hair is short.
I personally don't see much of a difference so I didn't freak about losing any length . I am going to  attempt to do more styles ( I tend to give easily on hairstyles so I just stick to one) and experiment a little. updates soon!

Hey Y'all!

Its been a while since we've posted anything, that's cuz we've been so busy!. My brother just got married! I was one of the bridesmaids and I had to find a good style for my hair. After scrolling through countless pages on Curly Nikki and other sites for wedding styles, I just decided to do my own thing (we were very short on time)
I decided to stick to my good ol' twists but with a twist! litterally.
 I used flexi rods to get them bouncy and curly and it came out great! I got lots of compliments especially from the bride ^^ unfortunately I do not have a close up pic yet but her are a few that I got:

 The Bride

 Me on the far right. It was my first time being a bridesmaid I was nervous, can't you tell?


 The couple woooot!
 I'll be posting more pics when I get the rest.
