product junkie.

My regimen is still a bit shaky BUT it's getting there. I started with tons of product and wasn't exactly sure of how to balance it in a way that makes sense. Since I've yet to get my trim I've been lazing around and being pretty random when it comes to my hair. That will soon change. I hope...

A few of the items pictures are NOT in my solid regimen but I do use them. The Chi Keratin Mist (purple spray bottle) is something that I used just as a little hair pick-me-up. My Ojon Daily Intensive Shine Treatment and TIGI Bed Head Hair Stick are pretty much styling aids. The Hollywood Castor Oil is simple for my ends and the Phyto Supplements are taken by mouth daily.

This is a bit intense to start off with but I think I can do it. Some changes will be coming soon due to a few of the items pictured running a little low and/or me simply not liking a product.

5 inches is NOTHING.

Sadly my first couple of posts will be about my hair. Bear with me. This is the updated length of my hair; I've yet to get it cut. My ends do seem a bit ragged and I hope that when I do get it cut next weekend that I don't lose too much length.

I want to be bra strap length by my birthday (May 15). I don't this that that's too unrealistic of a goal. It's maybe 4 or 5 inches of growth at the most. I can do it!!!

chronicles of my hair.

There had been countless time where I just wanted to pull a Solange and chop my shit off. I didn't do that for two reasons: one, short hair requires much more attention and money to keep up and two, my face is toooo damn long for short hair. My hair has been through so many extremes within the past 3 or 4 years that it's ridiculous. I'll let the pictures speak.



That's me at 14, my hair at it's longest point. PLEASE disregard my Ronald Isley brows!



This is me at 17. Notice my length is pretty much gone. Prior to the color I was heat crazy. I neglected my hair and my length neglected me :(



AND this people is my hair at it's shortest. My friends teased me that entire night claiming that I looked like a missing member of The Beatles.

My updated length will be in an upcoming post.
