Updo/Short Hair Fakeout

I did the updo with just using Lock Loops, and a large rubber band to hold the large curls up. Then pulled some down on the side and swooping the other front side up and back. Makes it look like it's cut this way, but nope. All my length is still there.

Almost 3 Years

Not much to say...so on with the pictures.

What Month Is This?

Hello fellow lockers and lurkers,

Gosh I'm not sure which month in my journey this is. I should have checked before starting this entry but was being lazy, lol. So what's new with me....not a whole lot. The pics here are from today after a shampoo. Just love that I look good even after a wash without having to do anything. That is so liberating in that when I was a loose permie would take me forever to blow dry my hair out and get it straight. My hair is so thick and course that it was alot of work. Now I can wash and braid it up if I want, take it down next day and good for the week.

My weightloss is at a standstill but still feel good. Need to change things up I guess. I get lots of compliments. My oldest daughter tells me I don't need to lose more weight, but I beg to differ, lol. I still want to lose more and maintain. Maintaining is the hardest part I think. Trying not to fall back into bad eating habits is essential and keeping a regular exercise program. Well that's it for now. Maybe I'll try some different styling options for the next post. I tend to fall into the same habit so will need to search YouTube for ideas. Stay blessed everyone, and Happy Easter.

Love, peace, and no hair grease.

Hair Pics - Vacation 2011

Here's some hair pics from my vacation. Hubby and I went to Trinidad & Tobago. My hubby is a "Trini", and we had a wonderful time.

Too Far Behind - 32 Months

Howdy folks,

I'm ashamed of myself, lol. I didn't realize it has been since October since I last put up post. I have plenty of pictures to show. I also did well in my weightloss and overall in life. My Sisterlocks have gotten really long. So with no further ado.....check out the pics. I'll make another post too....I just recently got back from vacation with the hubby from Trinidad & Tobago.

Long Time, Still Rep'n

Hello all,

I know I'm several months behind, but life has been busy. Also I hadn't noticed much of a change in my Sisterlocks until recently. It's like suddently at 27 months, I noticed crazy length. Has things been a piece of cake, no, not at all. I have learned a few things and one being...it's hair and it will do what it will do, lol. I'm still self maintaining my Sisterlocks. Also not loc related, I'm now down 60 lbs. That right there is amazing and still have more pounds to go. I can now take full body pictures without feeling self conscious and wanting to hide behind my kids, (some of yal know what I mean). Anyway, a few pics for your enjoyment pleasure, with one being a little styling.

Love, peace, and no hair grease.

Almost 2 Years

Well folks, on the 26th and 27th of this month I'll be celebrating my 2 yr. mark. It's been a sometimes frustrating, but also exciting journey indeed. Do I regret making this decision to get Sisterlocks? Not in your life. This weekend I retightened my own locs, and it only took me from approx. 7 pm, to about 6 am. the following morning, with a break of about 2 hours in between. Yes I stayed up all night doing it because I wasn't sleepy. Anyway, even with the clipping of my permed ends, I have experienced so much growth. A few locs have sealed, but of course majority have not. I was initially told my Therza 2 years ago that it would probably take 3 yrs. to be fully loc'd. Well looks like she was right. It's ok though because I love my hair. I love the ringlets on some ends, the fuzzy ends of others, but those straight permed one's will be defeated! LOL. Anyway, I hope that my journey over the past two years have inspired others to take that leap, especially those who start off will a lot of permed hair like I did. I think I understand myself and my hair so much more with taking this journey. This journey has also sparked other journey's too, like my weightloss. So far I have lost 40 lbs. since the end of February this year. I feel liberated by my hair, and renewed by my size. God bless you all and don't forget....
