Why I Focus On Hair Health Instead Of Length

I follow lots of hair bloggers both relaxed and natural. Most, if not all of them, say they are on a healthy hair journey but their focus seems to be on the length of their hair. Their blog may have long hair in the title, they have several posts or videos focused on growing your hair, and they may even do regular length checks.

While having long hair is nice, it really doesn't mean anything if it's not healthy. So when it comes to my healthy relaxed hair journey my focus is on achieving healthy hair. by using healthy hair practices and techniques. While some of those practices and techniques can help my hair grow and retain length, having really long isn't a goal of mine.

As a result, I don't do length checks, and I won't mention how long my relaxed hair is or how long I'd like it to be. Check out my video on Health vs. Length to see more.
