Update: Hair, life, Skin.. everything!

UPDATES

It's been a while since I have been on here or  posted anything. This year, this 2014 has really been hectic and busy for me that I have barely had time for myself or to take care of myself. I don't even have time to be on the internet unless it something that I really need to get done .. Sigh. There have been thing like a new job, apply and preparing to go off to university to cancelling and having to postpone my university plan (I was accepted! :] )

 Right now I am on vacation from work. I have my last two weeks of the year off so I am using the time to get back on track. I have really missed being here and reading about other's progress and sharing mine. With that said, let's get to the updates...

Hair

Well ladies or Guys lol.. I have been having some real hair issues. I have been successful in growth as I am now Bra strap length.  But I cannot say that my hair is healthy. It is certainly not. I have lost so much hair in terms of breakage, my hair has gotten a lot thinner too. I feel so terrible. I'm on a quest to not only revamp that but to try to figure out what caused it. I have narrowed it down two the following

1. I had in a weave in January and since that I lost a lot of hair. During the process of taking it out thhere was tons of hair loss

2. I bleached my hair to get honey blonde streaks and maybe I have not been taking care of them properly

3.. Its all this stress of work and trying to go to school

4. Plain old neglecting my hair, I have not been taking care of my hair as I should

5. I have been using lots of heat lately just to deal with my hair especially for work. I have been a heat person

6. Protective styles have really been put on the back burner and my hair has been out a lot

7. All of the above.. (I think we have a winner!)

.. So I am on a quest to get back where I used to be in terms of health. I have REALLY seen a difference in the thickness of my hair and it kinda hurts how thin my hair is. I will be relaxing Saturday and from that point doing what I can. I will be relaxing at 10 weeks , my hair is very hard to deal with right now and I have tons of knots. I am going back to my methods, products routines everything. I cannot foresake my hair like this anymore. Its already leaving me..

This is a picture of my hair as of  May 5th when I relaxed and then 17th when I got them treated and trimmed professionally..

 Relax..

After getting a trim..

SKIN..

As for skin now, I have had a good year between January and May but as of June my skin just brokes out terribly. So bad that I want to cry :'(. I had a back break out on my forehead down me right temple and on my right cheek. It's terrible. The scars are there now and I am still breaking out. I think I have a clue what going on. It may be the Milk of Magnesia I was using to combat my extremely oily skin. That's the only thing that I have done differently. 

It could be the new job as well but I have been at the job since January and I would like to think it would not have taken that long for me to have a reaction. Anyway, I am going to see a dermatologist tomorrow because I really cannot take anymore of this. It has had me so insecure with all these pimples and scars. Reminds me of my Biotin days and those were dark days for me. I cannot go back. Oh and I am also gonna try my emu oil again

Thats it for now. Like I said I really want to try to get back to my posting days and getting back to myself. Keeping back on track with my hair and blog. Thanks for everyone who keep reading even though I have neglecting you guys .. :)

Love Chloe <3
