I can’t believe I’m just a few months away from the one year mark.

One year away from getting some color!

Actually, I’m not sure I’ll even color at one year. I think I want to see more length before I make that move.  I say that but then I drool daily over my co-worker’s stunning color job by Miss Jessie. I’m also way over my sporadic grays. I keep mistaking them for lint or dandruff. We’ll see.

Not much change from month 8 other than a little growth. I won’t get re-tightened until early next month.

My routine pretty much remains the same. I haven’t purchased any new products lately. I am really trying not to become a junkie. My bathroom closets are already out of control. I haven’t fallen in love with any one shampoo or conditioner just yet. The ones I’ve chosen so far all seem to work for me. So I’m going to “date around” until I find “the one.”

The only change I’ve made is that before washing, I did an oil pre-poo and sat with a conditioning cap. It lengthened my wash day routine, which is already too long. But my hair loved it. I’ve noticed much less dryness and it’s softer to the touch. I also attribute that to now sleeping on a satin pillowcase in addition to my satin bonnet.

I’m not doing much styling. Rolling it with the lock loops is about as much effort as I can muster.  I love the way it looks after four or five days. See above. I imagine this is what it would look like after using the Caruso Steam Rollers. I still plan to get some of those for quick curls.

That’s about all for now. See you in month ten – if not before!
