Rooted Wednesdays Vol. 3 This one's out of care, not correction

Whats On My Hair

A gentle reminder: deep conditioning & stretching your hair will be your best friends when you’re trying to retain length.

This week, I stretched my hair, did a small trim, and put it into simple, chunky braids. Nothing fancy, just supportive.

I deep conditioned with one of my favs SheaMoisture’s Deep Conditioning Treatmenta product that’s been with me since the very beginning of my hair journey. It’s familiar, dependable, and always reminds me that consistency matters more than novelty.

Afterward, I stretched my hair gently using my Revlon dryer. Just simple braids.
Low tension.

Letting my hair know I’m showing up out of care, not correction.

Whats On My Heart

It’s a new year, but that doesn’t automatically mean it’s a new season.

I’m holding my goals with intention, but also with open hands. Because not everything is meant to shift just because the calendar did.

Some things are still forming.
Some things are still resting.
Some things are outside of my control and that doesn’t mean I’m behind.

This year, I want to honor effort without rushing outcomes.
To trust that what’s unfolding quietly still counts.
To remember that timing is part of the work, not a punishment for not doing enough.

Let your feet on the ground remind you: you are exactly where you’re meant to be.
