Happy 3 Blog years and 1 year post Relaxer


The start of next week marks the 3 year birthday of my blog well the 16th Jan to be exact. But today marks 52 weeks (1 year) since my last relaxer.
To celebrate this amazing goal post I have included a few pictures of my hair over the last year.






As I embark on the start of my 3rd year on healthy hair and also on my transition and natural hair journey, I have rebranded my name to 'Diary of Anotha Chic', my web address will not change though.

New Year - New Hair.


















Happy New Year Ladies!

I have started this New Year with a new hair style.

I have always wanted to have crotchet braids for ages, and thanks to the time off during the holidays; I practiced my cornrow and had my wig on for a week, then washed my cornrows and attempted my first crotchet braids.












There are so many YouTube videos on how to crotchet so I won’t kill you with how I did mine.

I am super excited to have these on for the next 4 weeks or so. 

Check out my results!

 












Happy New Year Ladies!

Hair Update |11 months post Relaxer

The last time I wrote a post on my blog I was a day shy of being 9 month post relaxer. I am currently 11 months post and counting down to my 1 year post relaxer day in the New Year (10th Jan).

The time has gone by very quickly, it's surreal.

Here are a few styles I have had in the last 2 months.






It has been a huge learning curve with my new hair, if I am completely honest I had lost the spike with my hair in the last 4-2 months, it is too short to bun and it got me missing my longer relaxed hair, also as am getting more and more natural hair my hair is shrinking more and more, I can't tell the difference between my texlaxed and natural hair, not sure if I have anymore texlaxed hair, I have been cutting my hair every fortnight. My last trim was getting all texlaxed ends I could see. So, as far as I know, I don't have any more texlaxed ends, though I can't say my hair has grown this long in 11 months, so am convinced I still have relaxed ends which I need a stylist to sort out.

My hope for 2016 is to fall back in love with my hair and get more length to get able to quickly tuck my hair up quickly.

My general weekly wash days have not changed, am happy this hasn't changed, as it has been helpful for me to have a standard routine as I have been going through a love hate relationship with my hair....but now its all but love....

Best wishes for the 2016 and Merry Xmas

.....Those ends though

My hair routine is pretty constant at the moment. The only major change to my routine is taking out shampoo.

A few weeks ago, I asked for advice regarding my stringy frizzed up ends, and most of you said to try subbing out the shampoo for a co-wash ( I had been using shampoo every single wash day and some (most ) times without prepooing my hair....yikes) 

I took you up on your advice and tada!
My ends are yummier than ever!!! Minus the excess hair product :p

Thanks all!!
