Crochet and Retouch Date Moved Forward by 1 Month

So my protective style a month ago was crochet braids with Freetress (as seen in pic).

I learnt how to install crochet on YouTube, taught my flatmate and she installed them for me.

p.s: The crochet needle is now my best friend; it's affordable and so much easy to use so if you get one, don't lose it!

Anyway, I had the hairstyle in for 2 weeks, but I have to say it's hard to maintain. Between consistently having to use olive oil to re-curl each strand, trimming tangled or rough ends and moisturizing my hair underneath, I got tired. So I removed it; but I did enjoy the time I had it on as it was my first crochet ever.


Relaxer date moved forward by 1 month

So I was supposed to relax my hair a week after removal but I decided to move the date forward to the 11th August (this weekend!). So I had my hair out as I didn't want any braids or weaves in. I put it in corn rolls and rocked my wig to protect it. A week ago (pre-relaxer regimen), I experience some breakage (probably due to the cold and stretching) so I decided to do the Aphogee 2-step treatment (if you're a hair addict like me, you must have heard of it right?). That stuff does what it does - infuses protein and thickens hair. But you have to be very careful because sadly, I got an eye shot of it and I had to get my behind to the pharmacy.

I have to say stretching by 4 months have been nothing but difficult. My hair started to break and it was hard to maintain (it doesn't help my deep conditioners have run out!) I'll have to revert to every 3 months from now on. But it was worth a try!

Anyway, so my relaxer date is tomorrow and I REALLY cannot wait to see how long my hair's grown (if it has! =O). Fingers crossed!

New Growth
