Welcome to my hair growth journey!

HAIR DISASTER

Lets start from the beginning. Back in my freshmen year in highschool I decided to bleach my hair to a blonde color. I have been blonde for 7 years since then.  My natural hair was thick, healthy, soft, and beautiful but the bleach has ruined it. My hair seems thinner, although I still have a lot of hair. My hair is totally damaged and has what I like to call chemical layers. So Nov of 2011 I decided to go from blonde to black hair and I loved it. I then had bond extensions put in and I loved it. After 6 months of sporting my dark hair I began to have this odd urge to go back blonde. It was the end of April and everyone was going lighter and I missed my lighter locks.   That was obviously a very bad idea. At this point my hair was starting to get a little healthier. So of course I ruined it and put in some highlights. I ended up hating them and so I went to a different salon and got my whole head bleached which took 8 hours to bleach twice and the results were that my hair turned a beyonce orange. (if you know what I mean) I absolutely hated it and I could not stand to look at it and plus now it was super duper damaged. If that wasn't horrible enough the hair dresser who bleached it gave me the worst razer hair cut everrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I dont like choppy layers I like subtle scissor layers and guess what he gave me. Yep, a razer layer hair cut. So now not only the color was hideous but my hair cut was all wrong and I just spent a ton of $$ for something I didn't even like. In fact I hated it. My hair felt like hay. I might as well have gone to a farm and donated it to the horses lol. It was that bad. So after stressing out about this bad hair situation for about 2 weeks I decided that all this hair drama would be over once and for all. So I decided to dye my hair back to dark and just leave my hair alone and grow out my natural healthy hair color.  I am so sick of the bleached fried hair look. I just want my hair to look luscious, long and healthy. So the last time I dyed my hair was in the beginning of May 2012 and I decided to sport the 2 toned hair color look since I did just spend all the money on bleaching it I decided to keep it blonde under the dark for the summer. I also put in some bond extensions as well because I hated my hair cut and I couldn't stand looking at it. So thats basically where things kind of left off. Its now July and  my hair is still the same I have not touched it with any chemicals of any sort.


STARTING MY HAIR GROWTH

First thing is first, What is my goal? My goal is to grow my hair long and healthy up to my waste and get rid of all the fried bleached ends. I would like to try my best to accelerate this process in the most healthy way possible. Your hair usually grows about 6 inches year but I would like to try and double that. The more my hair grows the better.

I have researched all over the web on this hair topic and I have found a ton of helpful information as well as products that will help my achieve my goal of healthy long locks. And I am going to be sharing everything I have learned with you (the reader).

Why am I creating a blog on my hair journey? I am documenting my hair growth journey because I want to have a reference guide where I can monitor my results and hopefully this might help some of you that are also trying to do the same. 

I also have a youtube beauty channel just in case you are interested (you can also see how blonde my hair was in my previous videos:

So if you are interested in following my updates I will posting ever time there is an update here and I will also be talking about it on my youtube channel.
