Hey guys! This is something that I've been meaning to do for a long time and I figured that the start of 2016 would be the perfect time to start this journey again... As much as I hate the idea of new year's resolutions, I decided that I needed to make some this year given recent occurrences in my life. My ultimate goal this year is to focus on my happiness and doing what makes me happy. Honestly, it would make me happy to have my ideal hair length. Right now, my ideal hair length is waist length.
At the beginning of this blog post, you might have noticed that I said it was time to start my hair journey again... Yes, I've been on a hair journey before. Previously, I've taken my hair from about neck length to armpit length. After that, I kinda quit my hair journey because I was happy with that length and how healthy my hair was. Now... not so much. Like I previously said, my ideal length is waist length (which I know will take me forever to get there). Also, my hair actually isn't that healthy either. It's like my hair is cut into a long bob. (The front and sides are long and the back is shorter.) It's ironic because people will compliment me on my hair and I'm thinking if you only knew.

 As you can see, my camera does a great job at making my hair look nice and healthy on camera. Wait, until you see the back though....
Here is the damage... Yeah, I almost didn't post this picture to this blog post. However, I figured if I was going to document this journey, I have to document the good, the bad, and the ugly... Now, unto how I'm going to attempt to fix this problem.

Goals for January:
-Minimize heat styling to at most 1x/week, preferably no heat styling though. (It kills me to say this, especially since I love my new flat iron.)
-Get back to moisturizing and sealing night and day. (This was key to my hair growth in my 1st hair journey.)
-For hair styling, either wrap hair at night or sleep in braids. (To be completely honest, I suck at wrapping my hair so we'll see how that turns out.)

That's all of the goals that I'm going to set right now. I'll update you with pictures and hopefully progress in a month!

If you're doing a healthy hair journey, let me know!
