First hairdo of the year

Well my blogging continues, my adventure in terms of hair styles and maintenance has officially started for 2013 on Jan. 9th. April and I have a strategy of doing hair based on milestones events until this Fall. As you can see below my hair has grown another 1/4" or so. My secret, is not to wash my own hair but I did in between appointments.

In between my appointments, I tie down my hair nightly and continue to spray oil sheen.

As you know, I made the decision throughout this journey not to chop my hair off. So if you have any ideas or suggestions for updos, reply to this post as I will them, smile. This style is a creation from April, I had no idea what it would look like. Turns out, it's fabulous and I received many compliments. You should've saw me going to a local shop looking for Kanekelon hair :-).

Today is Jan. 21st and I'm still wearing this hair style, yay.

April used Avocado oil, Design Essentials (shampoo and conditioner), Clear gel with a little of coconut oil.

Last appointment of 2012

My last hair appointment of 2012 and I decided to have my hair stylist (April of BLLING in Pflugerville, TX) to flat iron it out. We had a family photo scheduled and I didn't want to have my hair up. My hair grew another 1/4" in 2 weeks..

During my few months of this journey, I've worn my hair up and refused daily routine of doing it daily. Here's a photo of my finish product, I will not be wearing my hair down until spring. April does a great job of managing my hair, you would think my hair is relaxed.
