| Property of Ekaette | - 2 years post Relaxer
- So I'm now 2 years post relaxer! I'm very pleased with my progress, although my growth rate and shrinkage gets to me at times. I feel like I've got the basics down so I'll be experimenting more with my hair (example I introduced henna into my regimen). My schedule got super busy so I finally got a routine where I can wash my hair as little as once a week. I wash/cowash/DC at night, put my hair in braids (12-16 braids) with just creamy leave in and seal with oil (no gel!), and do a braidout puff in the morning. I rebraid every night. Leaving out the gel actually allows me to go longer without washing. If my hair gets dry during the week I just spritz with some rosewater or shower with my hair uncovered so the shower mist gets my hair damp. The braiding at night keeps my hair stretched and I can do my usual puff in the morning. It's worked very well for my busy schedule for the last couple of months so I'm thinking I'll probably stick to this for the most part during my residency

| Property of Ekaette | - Staples
- I'll list my staples here. Still a work in progress, meaning some things (like shampoo and DC's) I don't have staples for yet. I won't list anything that is still a maybe for me. It took me a while to experiment, and sometimes it took me running out of a product and not finding a suitable replacement.

| Property of Ekaette | - Big Chop and beyond
- I transitioned for exactly 15 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days. I was hoping to go for 18 months but curiosity got the best of me. I'm so happy I did it. I was prepared for the shrinkage but it's still surprising to see how much more shrinkage there is without the relaxed ends weighing my hair down. I'm super excited to begin my natural journey and as soon as I get a regimen down I'll post it here

| Property of Ekaette | - Random Styles
- This is where I post my random styles. I'm still learning everything but I'm getting a little better. The only constant is if I hate how a look comes out (usually bc my hair isn't long enough) I pin the ends under so you'll see that look with a few styles (braid outs, failed flexi-rods, etc)

| Property of Ekaette | - Cherry Lola Treatment
- I used the treatment exactly the way she said on her site. The only thing I didn't like was how runny the yogurt became. The only thing I would change next time is I will add mayo or conditioner or something else to make it less runny

| Property of Ekaette | - Henna Adventure #2
- For this round of henna I did the same exact thing I did last time. Then right before I put it on my hair I added 3 tablespoons of Dabur Amla oil. This led to it being more brown than red. I like this color. My hair definitely feels amazing, I get no broken hairs when I run my fingers through my hair. I know henna definitely helps with thickness but I am still trying to figure out if my regular hair is thick or thin to begin with. Definitely will be doing this regularly. I have pictures from the day of and from 3 days later after I clarified.
