2014 Hair In Review | Keyda

It has been a wonderful year and I am so excited for the NEW YEAR! Hopefully we all have new experiences and make more memories with our loved ones.


I have been MIA for a bit, however KLP has been holding it down! She is so wonderful with her posts and I am absolutely in LOVE with her hair journey! :) I promise that I've been washing my hair lol---even though I don't post about it and I've made a lot of changes this year:

• Last Relaxer/Touch-up: July 2014! Yes! I can not believe that I have not had any type of chemical within my hair. I must say that my scalp has been more manageable and less irritable as the time progressed. However, my shedding and knotting as increased. So, I have invested in a few detangling products to help alleviate the feeling of "pulling" my hair out! 
• Heat: I have used minimum to no heat on my hair. When I do use heat, I primarily use a hooded dryer and rarely have I used my blow dryer. No FLAT IRON! This shall change...I miss my straight hair...  
• Styles: I have kept my hair in buns, curls and braids. Twist and braid outs are also a favorite. I am mindful of my hair knotting so I try to keep it in a lasting style where I do not have to manipulate frequently. 

Overall, my hair has grown about 2 -3 inches, however with the shedding/knotting, I think my hair is going through growing pains. I try to do a protein treatment every two-three weeks to ensure my hair is strong with my moisturizing treatments. I am trying my hardest to find a good balance of protein and moisture for my hair.  :) I plan on trimming my ends significantly (cutting the relaxer ends) in the new year without taking too much length. As the biggest news of all...

I AM ENGAGED! Yes.. It has been quite crazy these last few months and it will only get crazier as I continue to plan my wedding! I am soo excited and happy to be sharing this new journey with you all! :) Looking forward to posting in 2015!
