Well..
Well....
Well......
Decided to start blogging again and hopefully I stick with it this time.
The idea behind this blog is just to chronicle my hair journey and keep track of what works for me and what doesn't.
What doesn't work: These braids that I just got installed on Tuesday because they hurt like no man's business. They are fine o but they have to go. Haba...a big NO to Shuffering and Shmiling.
What works: Apparently Natural Hair Life.
I chopped off my relaxed ends in January after a year of transitioning and so far, so good. My hair is not long yet but i enjoy watching it grow and flourish. My relaxed hair was very good to me too as it was long and healthy but I was ready for a change and so I took the plunge. Styling short natural hair is hard work but I still have no regrets yet.
Off to take down this braids....
Later,
MsBee.
P.S Would search for protective style options for short natural hair and try them out this week.

Protective styling 101
Protective styling, as most of my readers probably know focuses mostly on preserving the integrity of your hair strands by keeping them in a state that reduces daily manipulation.
I love styling my hair by itself and suffer from major hand-in-hair disease. I have been known to leave home with my hair in one style and return in a different one. It is therefore always a good idea to have my hair neatly braided or in a weave/wig.
Current situation: Braids.
Duration: 6-8 weeks.
Routine: Daily spritz with a homemade mix of water, conditioner, 5-10 drops of peppermint oil, 5-10 drops of teatree oil and coconut oil.
Wash once every 2 weeks.
Apply JBCO mix to my edges 2ce a week.
Expected Outcome: Hoping for some major retention and progress at my edges upon takedown.

Welcome to my blog
Why?
To track the progress of my hair, with focus on my edges.
How?
By paying close attention to the amount of pressure I put on it.
I have been taking care of my hair for about a year with my focus being on length and health. I recently noticed that my edges which hitherto were full and robust are now sparse.
This blog would chronicle my effort to recover them.
