The COMEBACK/MIRACLE-WORKING Regimen ::The Wigging Journey.

SOURCE: PERSONAL ALBUM

Journey to thicker and longer hair. Oh…and fuller edges.

Start date- JULY 2015 –NOVEMBER 2015 (BREAK FOR 2-3 WEEKS), DECEMBER 2015- PRESENT

THE WIGGING REGIMEN – This was a no-extensions protective styling regimen, just wigs. It made my hair thicker and healthier not super longer but a little length.

My preferred cornrows was the all-back type not the bee-hive, because I wanted to try no-combing.

My hair care during this regimen is easy but annoying so get a friend, yourself (if you can braid your own cornrows) or better still a smiling hairstylist so even if she is raining insults on you in her head you would not care.

RULES OR SHOULD I SAY TIPS FOR THIS REGIMEN

• Get your cornrows done (wash first of course, detangle, enjoy the feel of the comb for the last time). Your cornrows should not be too tiny, 6-8 is enough.
•  
• Daily Moisturizing. I used to moisturize twice a day; morning and evening. Later I started moisturizing only in the mornings and apply an oil mixture at night. Sometimes I would greenhouse effect after I applied the oil.
•  
• Weekly washes. You wash the cornrows. Do not the take them out! If you apply a lot of a products during the week, try to CO-wash mid-weekly.
•  
• Air- dry when you wash your hair. No heat. It takes little time to try because technically your hair has been sectioned for quick drying.
•  
• Re-braiding. If after drying your hair is not too messy causing you to pull on it (especially your edges) when putting on your wig, you can go another week with the cornrows. If messy get your friend, stylist or yourself to re-braid it row by row without combing just finger-detangling (remove one row finger detangle re-braid, continue for the other rows).

So this was my regimen for about 5 months out of my 7 months with no-extensions or protective styles.

My results were mainly based on thickness (pictures below)

I loved the results and thinking of continuing. I think you should also and let me know your experience.

2015: MY LESSONS AND BLESSINGS (HAHA)

First of all I would like to say thank you to all readers for their support in 2015, we really appreciate.

Last year for my healthy hair journey was both motivating and depressing.

Ok a summary; started the year with hair I thought was so healthy…lost my edges in the months that followed (not extreme loss though), also lost hair from braids (which was my fault, I was in a hurry to go somewhere so did not detangle properly).

 In May I decided I needed to grow my edges for “Afrotastic” so no braiding till the show. My hair was out and I always wanted to try the “Texture Manageability System” from Beautiful Textures, so I did and had my first actual trim. I kept the treatment for almost 2 weeks… no heat damage. 

“Afrotastic” finally came and I volunteered to try another straightening system by Keracare so another trim (total trim was 2-3inches in less than 3months).

 I wanted to braid but I wanted my edges to grow back. I then discovered braided wigs and made my first twist braid wig, it was butt-long *happy dance*. I really liked it so I decided to wig till school started. In school was getting tired of the twist look so I made box-braids. 2-3 months into my wigging journey I felt my hair was thicker so I had a length-check, I was very much impressed. During my wigging journey didn’t comb till around November when I wanted to twist and just leave my hair out.

Summary… I was not impressed with the first half of my 2015 healthy hair journey but the second half of the year made me smile.
