DULL Hair.... :(

I'm sorry I haven't done much updating. Although, I don't think very many people read my blog. Anywho... if anyone happens to stop by... there is absolutely NOTHING going on with my hair. Matter of fact, I've been quite disappointed with it lately. Not to mention the fact that I think my edges refuse to grow. For that reason, the small locs that have been placed in that area seem to be falling out, or hanging on by very few hairs. Any suggestions?

6 Months and Going Strong!

Hello BlogWorld!

I am so excited to say that I have officially hit my 6 month mark and I'm still going strong. I actually went for a re-tightening today, and my consultant has informed me that my locs are coming along quite nicely. They've even had a small growth spurt. I'm so excited!! I really can't wait until the length and form takes full shape. Below are a few pictures from before my re-tightening today. I think I'm doing ALRIGHT! LOL.






I'll try and post again before 7 months now that I have this new camera! But I can't guarantee anything. So, see you soon. Ciao!

Coming up on 6 MONTHS!!!!!

Hey Blogworld!

It has been so long since I've been on here, I was sure I would have forgotten my sign-in information. But I am so glad that I haven't! lol.

Things have been going well on my side. My hair (although I could not tell) is GROWING! I've been so focused on taking care of my life and all the ups and downs, I haven't been focused on my hair at all. I haven't styled it, haven't even touched it really. That is aside from washing every now and then. However, when I went to see my consultant for a retightening last month, I realized that it really had grown. I could clearly see that the locs were plumping up, but I had no idea that the length was increasing as well. It has inspired me to purchase things to enhance the actual ability of the locs. So, I'm going try and follow in Brunsli's footsteps and try the softspikes. Now, yes. I know they are not going to look as beautiful as hers, but I must try. :D

No pictures right now.But hopefully soon! Soon and very soon!

OMG!.... It's been 3 months! Woohoo!

Hey Blogworld and SL Family!

It's been so ridiculously long since I've written a new blog. But there has really been alot going on. I am proud to say that I have reached my 3-month mark and I am still going very strong. I have been consistent with my retightenings and fortunately, I have been able to push them back to 5 or 6 weeks. My consultant has advised me that I am doing very well in my process. I've only had a few issues of slippage (mainly around my hariline), but I think overall its coming along well. She had mentioned that I was letting residue get into my locks (from makeup... I assume) and that it may have been haulting the locking process around my hairline. However, as I went back to her she informed me that I had done a great job of taken care of that issue. :-) Yay me. On another side note... I do have my own issue. My "hand-in-head" syndrome has turned into a problem. I find myself touching my hair and as I grab a lock and massageit from root to end, I'll feel a ball at the end of the lock supported by a single strand of hair (or what I believe to be that)... and I'll totally pull it off. I'm sure I'm not suppsed to be that! :-(. Here are a couple of pics that show the fuzzyness and more or less how the locks have plumped up. OH THE JOY!


Anywho... moving on... I am thrilled to announce that I have officially (more or less) finished my first year of law school! Woohoo! I am currently taking summer classes (that are quite interesting) and looking forward to the next full school year! Praise be! TTYL

Fresh Retightening!

Hey SL Family!

I am happy to report that things have been relatively uneventful in the last two months. My locks are beginning to plump up and take shape, which I am all too happy about. However, I haven't been 100% focused on my hair. I am in the process of completing my first year of law school and it is sucking up all my time and energy. As I type this post I feel guilty because I'm not studying for my Contracts exam tomorrow. However, I am focused and I just wanted to take the time to chime in. I have of course been very perceptive of the locks strolling along the road and I am very happy to know that one day that'll be my destiny. I continue to get compliments and questions, and I've even encouraged others to consider Sisterlocks in their search for the perfect locks. Yay me! Anywho... I had my 2nd retightening today. It went well and my consultant happilly informed me that I am coming along strong! Below are some fuzzy pictures taken by my phone in the midst of my studying. I'll be back to update after my Civil Procedure exam next week. Wish me luck. Ciao.

I Love My Hair!!!

Hello Bloggers!

Okay... I have absolutely nothing to say. I'm preoccupied with attempting to finish (successfully) my first year of law school. So, my time is limited and my focus is on things other than my hair. I have passed my first month mark, and I'm not completely impressed. I get tons of compliments... but I'm not intrigued with what my hair is displaying. However...

First Wash and One Month!!!

Hey all! So, today makes my official one month anniversary. Am I excited? Not really. I guess to me it's not really a big deal. I mean, things have been more or less uneventful. The picture shown above was they day after my first wash. I think the wash went well. However, I did break the cardinal rule. lol. I did not braid and band! No... it wasn't intentional. I actually tried, but I felt like I was pulling my hair too tight. I'll ask my consultant about it tommorow when I go for my follow-up/retightening. There has not been too much growth (at least not to me), but the ends are all coiled up. So, I guess we'll see how we progress. Now... off to work. Ciao.
