Six Months+ After Relaxing My Nappy Hair | Update

The last time I saw my one-year-old nappy hair

Applying the relaxer

Letting the relaxer act

Results after relaxing and doing brushing

Doing a bun

The bun was my hairdo for Christmas 2020

New year's hairdo was this

Then after a good hair was I did these cornrows or 'bakala' as we call it in Cameroon. This was a transition hairdo.

Ready for the next style

Doing passe-merche

Results looking lit

I'm glad I chose this style before I put to bed. It didn't need combing or daily styling which I didn't have time for after delivery. I took this picture the day I put-to-bed.

My braids were finally off and it was time to relax my hair again.

I changed my relaxer and this time I used dark and lovely

Washing off the relaxer

Applying the treatment

Finishing touches on my brushing

I really loved the results

I loved this second brushing so much. The hairstylist did a great job

Some days later and my hair was still in shape

In preparation for my next hairdo, my hair was washed. The lady kept pouring water on my face

I did a bun. It wasn't well done though it looked good. It didn't last like the previous one and I allowed them to use oil from their saloon and my scalp wouldn't stop itching. I always go with my products to the saloon and I'm very strict about what products I allow on my hair

Going to treat my hair because my scalp was itching so bad. I wanted to wash the product away completely

After my hair treatment. See how good my hair looks

It was a really sunny day and I wanted to do cornrows to protect my hair and keep it intact

How my cornrows looked

After those cornrows which stayed for a while, I planned to do some braids but the hairstylist didn't show up so I made this.

It makes my hair neat.I don't have to worry about combing and styling.

This is how my hair looks as I write this post.

It's been three months since I had my second child and I feel good.

I believe three months is a milestone for him and me because he's starting a new phase in his life now and I can also start doing sports as my doctor recommended. This is so exciting.

June is a great outdoors month and I decided to celebrate it by doing some outdoor sports.

June Is Great Outdoors Month | Celebrating 3 Months Postpartum

I was a little surprised when my doctor mentioned that because after my first C section I started jogging at six months postpartum. So yeah I am excited to begin working out.

So far I have been doing just stretches and yoga from time to time. And I am glad I can now do some not too intensive sports. I am definitely not ready for belly workouts so I won't even be trying them. I can only jog, jump and squat right now. I'm taking things slow despite my excitement.

I'm happy I did outdoor sports. It was refreshing and fulfilling. It also gave me some alone time and I really felt good not having the kids clinging to me or not having to worry about them for a bit.

I had to dig out my old jogging shoes and outfit. 

One major thing I hope to get out of this is a healthy and relaxed body and spirit. I also want to lose my postpartum belly. It has made a lot of progress lately and I hope this workout will help it reduce some more. 

When kids are at home most of the time, one of the things you worry about is their safety. Staying at home is sweet but there are a few accidents that we need to watch out for.

To celebrate safety month I am sharing with you safety tips for your kids this holiday.

We may want holidaymakers to spend time in our homes for different reasons. There are impacts of having these kids over for the holiday on various aspects of our lives.

Here are some ways having holidaymakers affects your life.

Effects Of Having Holidaymakers This Long Break

Influence on your kids

Kids from other homes may influence your kids positively or negatively as they come from different backgrounds and training. 

Affects your relationship as a couple

If you are married or in a relationship you may or may not be ok with having other kids over at your house. Also, disciplining these kids may bring disagreements between you and your partner.

Budget

You'll be spending more on food and bills and even health care when you have these kids over. This will affect your finances so you have to plan for it.

Routine and time

Your routine may change to be more or less busy. You may have more or fewer chores to do depending on the ages of the children you receive. If they are older kids they may lighten your work by helping you out but if they are smaller then you'll have more work to do.

Those are the ways your life can be affected by the presence of holidaymakers in your home.
