Month 1!

I cannot believe it has been a month already. Some of the things I have experienced this month have been quite different. My hair is still changing. I have a lot of itch going on, but not as much as when I first started. I love being able to just put water on my hair and just go. I went to see my locktician on Wednesday because a lot of my locks at the top slipped (because it is permed, dumb decision when i wanted a weave to look good back in May...now it doesn't want to leave :( ) and she told me I may be putting too much water on them. It is killing me that I cannot put anything on them, because they feel dry at times. I don't know, but I trust her and she obviously knows what she is doing so I'm all ears. I keep driving my sister crazy asking her should I wear them for everyone to see. Lol. She likes them, and says I shouldn't be scared of how I will be received, because as long as I love them what else matters right? Every time I go to my moms house he immediately starts to fiddle around in my hair. She likes them and can't believe how long they actually are (my hair shrinks up a lot unless its straightened which i refuse to do, absolutely refuse to use curlers, I feel they take away from my babies) I don't know if this has happened to anyone else but I was tripping out for a while, thinking what did I do? I really paid this much money to get my hair like this? Then I started having these weird dreams that someone had permed my hair and I got really frantic because I was trying to get locks and i just knew this perm wouldn't grow up. I have had that dream at least twice. smh. I just wake up glad that it was a dream and run and look and mirror and smile at my babies. I guess you can in a sense call it postpartum anxiety. I'm definitely learning a lot of patience that's for sure. I think a lot about them and wonder how they will look next month at 6 months and at a year. But only time will tell. Well that's it for today. Ttyl8r! I'm so excited to watch them mature... *_*

My Reasoning...

I think maybe I should go ahead and just get it all out. I'm saying this so that everyone can understand my reasoning for getting sisterlocks. I have been asked this question over a hundred times in the past three weeks and it more than just a hairdo for me. I used to be the girl the changed her hair every five minutes since about 5th grade. Growing up I was always teased for having short hair. As I got older I became accustomed to doing my own hair and it has been that way ever since. I may have spent in excess of $30,000 dollars on my hair. After seeing a girl with sisterlocks last year I fell in love. I knew I had to grow that perm out!
Anyway thats that. Will I be cutting them out, naw. Why would I do that. This is a dedication for me. At first I was worried if they would grow, but I see that is the least of my worries now. I will posting more pics of some of the things I have been doing with my babies. I can feel them starting to change. Last night I did a small bantu knot with my babies and I have some small curls that didn't turn out half bad. I was washing my hair more frequently than I should have but that was because the itch was soo unbearable! Since doing an ACV rinse I feel better. Its not that bad anymore. Today is the first day I wore my babies to work without having them covered. I feel great. Its the real me and I really love it! Let me know what you guys think! Ciao!

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot begin to express how excited I am about my babies! LoL! I couldn't hardly wait until Aug 25th. I could barely sleep the night before. I was thinking about how I got here. As you can see I got a little photohappy with all the pictures and slideshows.... I have 417 sisterlocks and I am very very happy with that number. Paulette you are the greatest girl! Who would have thought that this crazy little woman that came running up to you at the Comerica Cityfest would actually get locked. I love them. I could probably say that a million times. My locking session took about 8- 9 hours. Not bad at all my loctician moves veryfast, but she is so gentle. It was the most relaxing hair session I have ever had in my life!!! I want to do something with this itching though! I can't wait to see what they will look like when they begin to mature. But I am going to enjoy each step of the way. See you all soon.

CONSULTATION!!!!

So I am sooo excited! I have been following everyone's blog on the LHBE and I am so in love. I cannot remember how I came across the site but I am glad that I did. I have never been so nervous but excited in my entire life. I have been the girl that wears a new hairstyle every week! You know the on that has red hair one day and braids the next! Yea that was me. When I saw a girl at a luau party last year I fell in love with sister locks. I have been to two consultations with my consultant and I have never been so ready to do something in my life...I will be posting pics of my "babies". Any advice is truly appreciated! I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me and my beauties...I'm motiv8ted...See you in the Blogs!
