HAIR X My Permed Hair Journey

Hi guys! I'm back with a little post on my natural hair! This is gonna be a long one...

Okay so I wear a weave or protective hair style 99% of the time. I have my hair neaty braided underneath with a small leave out! I have never used a closure before so there it always some section of my hair left out! 

BACKGROUND

My hair in my preteen years was very long and was extremely full! When I got to secondary school it all went downhill and my hair broke very badly because I couldn't maintain it! I would never grease it and always straightened it with no protection! I would use very harsh perms in my hair and also dye it very often! So you can tell it was a recipe for disaster! 

My hair was so short I hated it! It made me feel so crap and my self esteem was low! I started to do weaves when I was like 14/15 ( that good good premium 8") Then my mum upgraded me to 18" Brazilian lol! 

When I got older I learnt how to maintain my hair a lot better, I stopped perming it as often and left my protective hairstyles in longer! I also trimmed a lot of my hair just to give it a fresh start! 

My hair started to growwwwwww! I stuck to one hairdresser for a long time because there nothing worse then having several people doing your hair! 

I grease my hair very often, stretch my perms and use a lot less heat in my hair! My hair grew quite a lot over the last year! I also stopped dying my hair! My leave out has grown so much and my hair is so much stronger and healthier! 

I wear weaves or braids almost always and leave my hair out for a week or so between hair styles. 

PRODUCTS

I try to stretch my perms for as long as possible. I do this by leaving my weaves In for as long as possible washing my hair weekly with the weave in. Also if my edges are looking a bit crazy I would perm my edges alone with a weak perm! 

I use Dr Miracle No Lye Relaxer - Regular 

To grease my Scalp I Use Indian Hemp 

For my Edges I use Dr Miracles Edge Control (the best edge control!) & Motions Foam Wrapping Moose

For shampoo I use Head & Shoulders Anti Dandruff  if I've permed my hair I'll use Motions neutralising shampoo  & I use the Herval Essence Bee Strong & Hello Hydration to Condition! Sometimes I use Creme of Nature Argon Conditioner 

I use the Olive Oil Heat Protector before blow drying or straightening my hair
