Hey guys, welcome back to my blog.
Hope everyone has been keeping well and okay I really cannot believe that
I have not relaxed my hair in 2 years.
Not relaxing my hair has been the best decision I have ever made, my hairline is
back I just wish that I didn't
bleach it last year June (I blame it on the pregnancy hormones though).
When I did my big chop I followed a lot of blogs and watched a lot of YouTube Channels and all I can say is everyone's hair is different,
what might work on someone else might not work for you do a lot of research.
Ever since I had my baby I have been stressing on this "postpartum shedding thing" and really there is nothing no one can do about it, hair will shed
that is just the natural process of life, I also feel we can control how much it sheds though.
For example my hair is best kept when I have the benny and betty style (minimum shedding and quick and easy to maintain)
Then I went on to do box braids (worst mistake), because I didn't know that my hair would tangle and shed in bulk loads when I took them out.
No amount of part products could have saved this one because I left them on for too long.
I'm babbling.....
Get to the point......please.
So lately I have been doing the following which my hair has been loving, wash my hair once every two or three weeks (yes I said three weeks)
but in between every 6 to 7 days I would untie my hair, first by (spraying Long & Lasting Activator Spray) just to make my
detangling process a bit quicker and better plus the spray is affordable and moisturizing, after untying my hair I would go in with my hair foods
Long & Lasting Triple Oil Rescue and Excel-E Nourisher just to add more softening and nourishing products especially in between the parts that don't usually get products
.(You can use any spray or hair foods of your choice here I'm sharing the Long & Lasting products because they are working for me).
I will do a more in-depth 2 year natural hair journey soon, however I'm glad I did this post it has been on my mind for a while.
Hope you enjoyed today's post.
See You Soon.

Hey guys, hope all is well okay I'm sharing with you my one year natural update.
This post is bitter sweet cause my hair should be much longer but I decided to be adventurous in June and go blonde and now I'm paying the price, totally bored.
Since then I have been working on my brittle hair and been trying to make sure that I stick to a once a week routine of washing and styling it #bennyandbetty as I wear wigs on the daily.
WASH, CONDITION & TREAT
I have been sticking with Pure Royal with the is one as they contain no sulftes, parabens, silcones and no salt (yes salts are very drying to the hair).
I did the whole routine on my YouTube channel showing you all products used and all the step by step instructions, which are pretty simple and once your try my methods,
you will notice the difference.
TREAT, MOISTURISE & SHINE
I plate my hair I then go in with my hair food from LongandLasting followed by the hair spray, I like the two products together because they are not too oily as I use a wig on the daily and I don't want much product to over lap in it.
My natural hair routine is pretty simple and basic, and that is how
I like to keep it hence why the big chop right.
Hope you enjoyed it.

Natural Hair Update & My Protective Style
Hey guys, I hope that everything is well and okay, we are half way through the week
and I say we can do this.
In January I shared a post titled Underneath My Wig where I shared my reason behind the "Big Chop" and the products that I have been using underneath my wig and on my hair.
Today I thought that I should extend that post and show you a detailed breakdown on all the items that I have been using so far.
Side note, when I had relaxed hair I didn't have an issue with hair breaking-out in the front and even now that is no issue, the only issue really is that I get lazy to moisturize my hair which leads to some fall outs especially on wash days.
Everyone has a hair journey that is different I think and there is no right or wrong way of doing your hair, some products might work and other won't which is absolutely fine as it is a journey.
Just set goals and all will eventually work out okay.
MY ROUTINE
- Detangle, Wash and Air Dry (Products used Avon Advance Technique Shampoo and Leave In Conditioner)
- While I wait for my hair to air dry I do my Wig (Products used on my wig Avon Advance Techniques Rapid Rescue and Fizz Control Serum)
- Do a simple protective hair style (Using Wool and a Comb)
- Moisturize my hair after braiding (using Long & Lasting Braid & Dreads Spray and Moisturizer) once a week I then apply my MPL oil and Black Chic Hair Food)
- Apply my Wig Cap plus Wig and style as desired
I have also done a YouTube Video/Tutorial demonstrating my current hair routine,
I hope that you do enjoy it.
