Nothing to see here!

I finally completed my Grow Out Challenge Update post for Hairscapades. I’m not sure when it will post though. Writing the post made me realize just how many styles I’ve tried over the past few months. I straightened my hair (twice), I’ve done mini-twists (twice), I’ve done a twist and curl and of course the numerous buns.

I’ve realized that my Product Junkie ways have subsided. How sad is that?! I must revive those bad habits immediately.

Last week, I straightened my hair again. Mainly for the purpose of looking my age. I had somewhere to go where I needed to be looked at as the adult that I am… and my buns tend to make me look a lot younger than I am. LOL. It’s still straight now, but it’s pulled back in a bun. This weather is just too much for my natural hair. I wonder what hairstyle I’ll try next.

Oh yes! So I trimmed my hair again this time when I straightened it. That’s the only way to get rid of all of the ssk’s… eventually. My hair feels a lot healthier after this recent trim.

No pics this time around. There’s nothing to see here. =)

The SSK Saga

The amount of single strand knots I have is absurd. I need to trim my hair more regularly. In fact, I need to trim off a good amount, but I refuse. I think the fact that I bun it while it’s wet contributes to the ssk’s. Ugh!

This weekend I blow dried my hair after I washed it. I didn’t blow dry it straight, just enough to dry my hair because I had to leave the house soon. Leaving the house with wet hair in this weather is a formula for trouble. It’s much easier to work with my hair when it’s blow dried. In addition, I use less gel.

I’m not sure that this will become an every week routine, but hey… you never know.

This has been my go-to style. Not the best shot, but you get the idea. I’ve posted pics before of it done on wet hair.
