Relaxed Hair Health Update: July 2015

As I continue on my healthy hair journey I try to provide monthly updates on how my hair is doing by sharing what has been going right and what hasn't. For July I'm going to track how I'm doing against my 2015 hair goals. You can also check out my hair update video on my YouTube Channel.

During July did I

Maintain the health of my hair: Yes

During my relaxer stretch and after my relaxer touch up my hair felt and looked great. No major breakage, shedding, or moisture loss.

Minimize the number of products I try: Yes/Kinda

I did try a new conditioner in July Suave Almond and Shea Butter Conditioner, but only because I ran out of Suave Natural Infusions Macadamia Oil Conditioner and despite visiting several stores, some multiple times, I couldn't locate it. The stores will all out. The Almond and Shea Butter Conditioner seemed the best alternative.

Protect my ends at least five days a week: Kinda/No

I was doing this more like seven days a week until after my relaxer touch-up.

Find a new stylist: No

In July I ended my relaxer stretch and got a touch-up using a new stylist. I liked the work she did, but she doesn't believe in stretching relaxers past 6-8 weeks so I won't be using them again.

In August I plan to

• Do more protective styling wearing buns, braids, etc.
• Try a new shampoo and deep conditioner from the SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration line 

How are you tracking against your 2015 hair goals?
