1st Flat Iron Since June!!!

Ahhhh how I've missed this straight, SOFT hair... I love it!
I got my hair done professionally at the salon. I am just disappointed at the fact that my hair did not grow out as much as I'd expected. I've been wearing protective styles and haven't been using any heat on my hair since the beginning of June.

Last year when I wore protective style for only 2 months, my hair had gotten SOOO LONG, and this time I've been doing pretty much the same thing plus more for a longer duration of time; I believe Hairdrenalin stunted my growth.
My ends are a LITTLE see through (nothing drastic) and that's strange to me, since I've been protecting my ends for the last 4 months. I've been researching and came to the conclusion that I need to make sure I MOISTURIZE my ends OFTEN!!!! There were times that I would just keep a protective style in for a whole week without manipulating my hair AT ALL; that was a mistake because I should have been taking my hair out to moisturize my ends.
BUT I am happy that my hair is still healthy and it is still growing :)




I left my hair down (wrapping it at night) for about 4 days after I'd got it flat ironed, then I started loose bunning.. Making sure my ends are tucked under my bun. I moisturize my ends every other day with Roots of Nature Strengthening Oil Moisturizer (hair lotion). I really likes this stuff because there's no harsh ingredients, it keeps my ends moist and it smells fresh :)
