5 Months!

It's a little past the exact 5 month mark but yay 5 months!!! Almost halfway through the year! Next month, I will do updates on my yearly challenges.

This past wash day, I decided to focus on clarifying. I purchased Head & Shoulders Clean Scalp formula and even though it has lauryl sulfates, I am sacrificing because I am tired of the dandruff. My scalp already feels cleaner so I will work this into my regimen at least once a month. Today I combed through my hair with my denman and then put some coconut oil on it to seal. It looks very thick and healthy so everything is doing well. My bangs are super short now which is weird but it was for the best. I usually just clip them out of my face since they look like puff balls.

I really can't wait to start seeing some real length. I'm getting better with patience; school is helping me keep my mind off of my hair. I can't fall back into the pattern of staring at the roots and willing it to grow. For now, I just gotta live day by day and continue on with my 3 month protective styling challenge. This week, I will keep my hair in two braids for the whole week. I will do this every time I clarify and brush with denman. Hopefully the tangles stay away!
