Hair Care Journey ➿

I’m on a mission to have healthy hair. I’ve been watching videos on YouTube and TikTok and reading peer-reviewed articles and other blogs. Follow along as I share my hair care journey with you – I’ll cover methods for length retention, different products to use, and more.

A little bit more about me and my hair. I’ve had natural hair my whole life, I’ve never gotten a relaxer and I think I tried a keratin treatment once many, many moons ago (I think I was in high school), but my vice is coloring my hair; I love a good bleaching session. My usual go-to is a balayage since I aim to color only 1-2 times per year and I want a color that will grow out well without looking like I needed to go to the salon yesterday LOL. Even with only getting my hair colored so infrequently, bleach leaves the hair incredibly vulnerable and I’ve noticed I’m extremely prone to dryness and breakage.

I’ll be sharing products I’m loving, excited to try, and ones I won’t be reaching for again; my favorite methods to stretch my hair or how I decided to style my hair most recently. I’m really excited for this page to grow and continue to share my haircare journey with you ♡
