Hair Journey - The Beginning.

{the good ol' uni days}

A couple days ago I declared the beginning of my new hair regiment on Facebook. I had spent the previous night watching Megz's YouTube videos from U Love Megz and ended up going to bed past 1am cos I couldn't get over her beautiful hair! I wanted, needed even, to know her secret.

If you've read the "About Me" section of my blog (see top right), then you probably already know that I want my hair to be so long that it easily rests right below my breasts. For about a year now that has been my dream but until two days ago it was just one of those dreams that you hope for but never really imagine realising.. Sorta like how you pray for that nasty tooth ache to disappear without having to go to the dentist, you know? 

Cue Megz and her amaaazing mane. 

Hope was restored. 

The angels were singing, trumpets were booming and confetti was falling from the ceiling. 

There was a party in my head you guys, a magical party. 

Hope you don't mind but I'll be sharing my hair journey on here.. If you're not particularly interested in all the products and portions I'll be whipping up here then I suggest just ignoring these posts! I'll make sure the title has "Hair Journey" on there so that you know which post to glide right past. 

Each week I'll be giving an update on what I've been doing to my hair, the products I'm using and the progress thereof. It's going to be fun you guys, you just wait.

{no, not naked. yes, had a towel.}

The new hair regiment I'm taking up will involve:

1. Some co-washing (only using conditioners to wash your hair)
2. NO HOT TOOLS except for once a month - goodness me, this is definitely going to be the hardest.. 
3. Air Drying hair
4. Pre-pooing (applying some oils to your hair pre-shampoo)
5. Moisturizing and sealing
6. Using natural oils such as olive, avocado, coconut, castor and jojoba oil
7. Wearing protective hair styles more often (like buns and french braids)
8. Lots of deep conditioning (moisture-based treatments)
9. Protein-based treatments 
10. Regular trimming (but ONLY of split ends)

AAAAAAAAAAA!!!! 

I'm so excited! I kid you not, my heart is beating so fast as I write this!!!

Ok, I'm going to go now and research more on all things hair.

Bye.

p.s.: the pictures are from at least 1.5 to 2yrs old. Doesn't look like I've changed one bit.
