Our 100th Start Over

I always thought my daughter's hair would get better over the years but boy was i wrong!! Well I'm not completely wrong but I am wrong for thinking it would get better on it's own.  It wasn't until I went natural and I realized that you have to nourish your hair for it to be stronger and healthier. It never dawned on me that I was doing the wrong thing.

Every week I'd shampoo, condition, and style her hair and left it as is until her next wash day. In between washes I'd change her hair accessories and brush the edges and that was it. I rarely moisturized her hair which was a HIGH necessity with her hair. My daughter has very dry,thin fragile hair which I didn't pay much attention to until my 2nd year into my transition. Since then I've been trying to find ways to strengthen it. I'd start a new "journey" with her hair by washing and conditioning weekly and moisturizing daily but that never stuck. I'd get to busy or to caught up with other things and completely abandon her hair. It wasn't until i saw her hair the other day is when I decided to dedicated my time to nourish her hair. Her dad had taken down her cornrows and her hair hadn't been washed in two weeks( due to the fact that I was ill )and her scalp was dirty and flaky and her hair was to fragile. Then and there is when I saw her hair was breaking and I HAD to do something about it.  While I was at work, I sat myself down and made an agenda; it's one I plan to stick to!

Within the next few posts, I'll illiterate my agenda breaking it down from Monthly to daily. With this, I plan to maintain my daughter's hair and transform it from thin, fragile and dry to thick , strong and moisturized. Pray for us that we're successful with this journey!!
