MY 2014 HAIR AFFAIR.

2014 was a great year for me, not in terms of retention or anything like that because i am yet to do a length check. I know my hair has grown but that is not what i want to talk about regarding 2014. 2014 was a great year for my hair journey because i had a chance to experiment with so many hair styles. I managed to capture some on camera,unfortunately it is not every single hair style that i captured.
I wore everything from twist-outs to braid-outs to bantu knot-outs, i wore updo's, RTP's, puffs, buns etc. I wore it all and i had so much fun with my hair.
2014 also happened to be my 2nd year without hair extensions and so from January to December i rocked my own hair and i liked it.
I made a few collages of the different hair styles:

TWISTS

UPDO's

OUT & DOWN

HEADWRAPS

REVIEWING 2014 HAIR GOALS


Hello...

How is everyone doing in 2015? Are your 2015 hair resolutions already in place? I have not yet come up with mine but i will share them with you soon.
Before i go ahead and make resolutions for this year, i thought i should start by reviewing the goals i made in 2014.



2014 GOAL #1:Wash hair less, that is from once a week to once every two weeks. I can be very impatient sometimes, especially when it comes to detangling my hair. I noticed that I experience some breakage on wash days and so I just want to minimise on that.

Review: I failed to stick to this goal simply because my hair gets very dry, and waiting for 2 weeks between washes just was not working for me. I washed my hair once every week unless otherwise. To minimize breakage i worked on being gentle and patient during detangling sessions.

2014 GOAL #2 : Increase the number of times I do protein treatments. I did not do much of these in 2013.

Review: *sigh* this one was a 100% fail. I do not know what is wrong with me, i know i need to do this but i don't know why i don't do it.

2014 GOAL #3: ACV is a must now, to combat breakage from hard water.

Review: 100% fail. I don't even remember the last time i stocked apple-cider vinegar.

2014 GOAL#4: .  Wear more protective styles. Instead of keeping my twists in for a week only, I want to try keeping them in for 2 weeks.

Review: I realized that i am just not the 'long term protective styling' kind of girl. I cant wear twists for a long time, infact i did not wear twists for most of 2014. I wore my hair in braid outs, twist outs and roll-tuck-and-pin.(RTP). My hair was mostly out and i enjoyed it that way.

2014 GOAL #5:   Moisturise and seal my ends more often.

Review: This i did religiously. I am proud!!!! *happy face*.

Overall i did not stick to my 2014 resolutions and honestly i was not realistic about certain goals eg goal #4. I have never liked long term protective styles since i started my hair journey, i was just in denial really and i thought it was a must do in order to retain length. That is not entirely true.

This is my review. Have you reviewed your 2014 goals? Did you stick to your resolutions? Share your experience with me by commenting below. 

xoxo.
 

HAPPY 2015


HAPPY 2015 LADIES. I WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST THIS YEAR.

STAY BLESSED.
