My Gray Hair Journey
My hair has changed
Hi there everyone! I have been natural haired for most of my life up until I was 21. I then had a relaxer for about 20 years before returning to natural hair back in 2009.
I’m now 65 as of this writing. I also had colored my natural hair trying to avoid the gray hairs. After becoming tired of constantly dying my hair I decided to let it grow out in 2021. The last time I colored it was for my mom’s funeral in April of 2021.
Finally, I decided to let the color go and let those grays grow!!.As my hair started to grow more gray, I actually liked it. I soon found out that gray hair is a beast all on it’s own. Always taking care of my hair, I would wash once a week, use a leave in, add shea butter, and go heavy on the styling gel. I also used protein twice a month, and deep moisture conditioner after the protein. This worked for me, until it didn’t.
I found myself with more dryness, splits, and breakage. I also have to mention that for a period after my mom passed, I kinda didn’t care fo my hair as well. Soon I realized that my hair did not like certain things anymore, like shea butter, for one.
Of course I turned to YouTube to see what information I could find there to help me along the way. I found a channel that has been of great help to me, and i will be following some of her tips. The channel is Karen of Curl House. I trust her info as she is a hair stylist.
I will be implementing some of her tips that include moisturizing more often, using less stylers, less heat, and deep conditioning once a week.
I am going to rehaul most of my products, and try experimenting with new products to see what happens.
Stay tuned!!
