Assessing Our Natural Hair Goals For 2016

Hello everyone,

And when I can't be bothered about either of the #twists, #bantuknots work just fine. It has taken a while for me to full embrace it without running to a #headwrap or #turban. So, #cheers to #growth. ☕☕

It's that time of the year to assess all our life goals. The time to look back at last ten months to see how far we have gone.

But before I continue, 

'Did everyone have hair goals for 2016?'

Yes? No?

Personally, I didn't exactly have hair goals. I just needed my hair to grow past the current level and I'm not sure it did.

I had a quite an eventful 'hair year' this year. It was particularly a year of firsts.

• First trim
• First time in a natural hair salon 
• First time my hair was professionally styled 
• First time in a natural hair photo shoot. 
• First time using heat 

For a minute I was scared of the effects all of these would have on my hair. Which was why I tried to maintain a low manipulation regimen. I even went as far as simplifying my routine and products to the barest minimum.

Has there been any progress?

I'm not sure. I've been avoiding a length check because I'm afraid I might be disappointed with the results especially since my three-year nappiversary is around the corner.

All in all, it's been a decent hair year. I've finally found my staple products and I've stuck to it so there's a system going on there.


So, over to you.

Was 2016 good to your hair?

Love, curls and coils
