I have made it week by week by week by week without even thinking about relaxing my hair. I have NO idea why the importance of it has become almost non-existent in my life. I know there are a number of factors that have driven me to push myself to wait longer before relaxing, but this new notion of - maybe I don't need it anymore - is really blowing my mind!
As I look at the world around me, filled with short hair cuts, weaves, wigs, and what not, I imagine what direction my hair journey will take me. In some areas of my head, I have around 2 inches of new growth, while in some it's just one. As it grows more and more, I'm not sure where my expertise will end and something else will need to take over.
I have still kept the routine for the most part. Co-wash on Monday nights, some Wednesdays (depending on whether or not I workout), Shampoo on Friday/Saturday. I'm still moisturizing and sealing. My hair is super oily right now because of it, which makes me feel like maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I still get very dry so I think I need to use a lot... so that technique is still being perfected.
I know it's been a while, but below is a picture from this weekend:
Remember - you can do what you want to do. Question the norm and make sure you're comfortable with the answer.
