Happy 2014! Hair Update

Hellloooo Everyone!
Wow. I havent had a blog post in a year!! How shameful. Life is just crazy with its ups downs and everything in between.  But I have no complaints and I am so blessed :) Happy 2014 everyone!
 So. My hair. To the best of my knowledge, my hair is now completely 100 percent fully natural. I trimmed the last of my relaxed ends off.....I believe it was late summer/ early fall of 2013. I will have to reference my Instagram page for an exact date lol. I have not been to a professional stylist in a couple of years but I do plan on going to one once I hit my 1 year natural - versary this year for a trim and possibly flat ironing. The journey so far has been pretty good. Im glad (SO glad) that I am completely chemical free, and my hair seems to be thriving. I dont know how long it is, I dont really use heat on it, and plus my hair is pretty uneven. Thats how it has always been, and I think that is true for most people. My hair is shorter in the front and longer in the back. When I get it styled this year I will post some pictures here so that you can see the progress that I have made. :)
 A couple things I struggle with as a natural are split ends and single-strand knots. I find the "Search and Destroy" method of clipping the little knots at the ends of my strands extremely tedious.  I have so much hair and it feels like I cannot get every single knot! Maybe I cant. However, I try my best. As far as split ends go, I trim them as I see them and try my best to keep my hair moisturized.
 Here are a few hair pictures of my current hair. I hope you all have a blessed day and I will be back with an updated regimen post!

S/O to my girl, Star for unintentionally reminding me that I have a blog. Lol. Check out her blog...shes doing a Vegan Challenge!
