Summer Time Do.

6-23-2010

Right now I'm rocking a curly bob for the summer time. I've been locked for two years now and I still love my hair long or short. I went in the get my retighting some highlights done but my hair just will not dye. I've tried several times and the only thing that works is to beach my hair and then add color. Sense this is very unhealthy to do with locs I found hair mascara! It's great, you choose any color you want to rock. Blond, bronze ( my new fav) red or whatever. You run it tho your hair and you have color without the dye. It looks natural and it doesn't overpower your whole head. It just washes right out and allows you to stay natural so for someone like me who has jet black hair. Color is now an option.

I still don't use rollers or curlers and after the summer, growth will be welcomed.

I just had my 33 birthday on June 23rd and it was a lot of damm fun.

At this point I still have hairs that loves to come loose from time to time. In those areas I braid them together before washing and before going swimming also. Once a week I spray in a leave in conditioner onto my scalp and onto my locs to keep them healthy. I have started to wear a head wrap in addition to sleeping on a silk pillow case at night and use a shower cap in the shower each day. This is not something I always did before but I have found that it keeps my hairs natural sheen if done everyday. I also love to wear my hair in a pony tail and I use the bandies that don't contain any rubber. So far I can say that I have no regrets about getting loced and it has saved me so much time and effect that it's unreal.

Diet, diet, diet

So right now on most days it's hotter then a high priced whore outside!

So this means no over eating and then wearing half shirts outside while drinking a grape Slurpee and flirting at the gas station. I will be 33 yrs old soon so I have began a new diet just to slim down some cause why not right. When I was 25 I ate all the time and then after giving birth at 27 I still did and I stayed fit with some gym time. Now for some reason my breasts have decide to grow, con grads to me :-) But I feel the need to slim down to avoid the top heavy issue. You see when your a woman with large tasty breasts if you wear loose clothing it will hang from breasts causing you to look bigger than you really are. If you don't have a stomach you should wear tighter clothes to enhance your shape. However some people will think that you are trying to show your breasts by doing so. They are going to show no matter what you wear so chuck them. So this has brought me to this diet and to present day.

Now let's talk about healthy eating and salad bars. Now I went to the store with a friend one day and we were getting a salad from the salad bar. She is putting on eggs and fried chicken stripes and bacon, cheese and covering it with ranch dressing like she is painting the salad top with a brush. So I said, what kinda of salad is that? We should have just went to Burger King for you LOL, Am I right? Why do they put that yummy selection of crap out if it is support to be the healthy choice? Pepperoni and fried cheese should not be at the salad bar talking to people.

Like pick me, hey Big Butt, yeah, you, pick me.

I'm just saying, you put it there and it will get eaten. This pisses me off as a hungry person who can not eat a whole lot right now. Yesterday I saw this girl in a dark brown dress and mind you it's hot outside. The more I looked at her the more she started to look like coffee ice cream in a baked waffle cone. She most likely thought I wanted to eat her cause I kept acting like I was biting something and starring at her.LOL. Now that I think of it that would have been the dirtiest cone I have ever had. Wearing dark brown in 93 degree weather can't be good for anyone.

Damm it, I'm still hungry :-)
Anyone watching their weight?

Hair products used good and bad?

Sending out an SOS

I have a question, please let me know.

What hair products does everyone use in their hair and how often? If it's water, don't tell me LOL.................

What products have you used that weren't so good? Broke your hair, dried it out made you look like powdered donut?

I'm asking cause I see so many products but of course most are bad and some are good to use. I have not had any breakage or loose so that leads me to think that what I use does my good good but maybe I'm wrong and I need to use something new and exciting. Fill me in on the hair run down.

The Black Out!!

What's up All............

I have been blacked out temporary and missing in action!

OMG how time flys when your loced and not worried about the damm wind blowing.

I have been loced for two years now On April 1, no April Fools I really I have. My hair is thicker and fuller and growing. I have not had any breakage thank goodness but I am still having some slippage on the front and on the crown on my head. I have used different shampoos but I figure that you have to use what works for your hair. I love being loced but I don't love frizzy, dry or matted hair. I also don't want to looked loced at a glance cause I think that is the beauty of being loced. I believe I have continued to achieve that to this point anyway. I will upload some pics soon as possible but in the mean while I'm back and I will do better at posting and responding to my messages received.

So talk to me.

One Year!!

Wow it has been a year sense I got locked up already. I have to say that my hair has not changed that much to be honest. I'm still locking and not using any products besides giving it a good washing every two weeks. It has grown so much but with the thickness and the curl of my hair has not changed. With time my hair has become more dense and that has made it easier to style and move around. The time has given me more options for styling and just with everyday wear. I'm a bandie girl with styling, if I feel like my hair being off of my neck I just grab a bandie. I wear a ponytail or twist it and then secure it, it's very easy and fun to do. I'm one of those lazy folks that doesn't curl or roll up my locks. I don't braid it for the curly look because it would be a waste of time. Now if I could straighten it sometimes then that would be fun for only a couple of days. But I enjoy just having wild hair that has no main style and that the wind can move around. I enjoy the softness that has stayed with time that I thought would leave. I enjoy my hair being touched by love ones and with locks I have been able to have them run their fingers though hair. I wash my hair with plain Suave shampoo as granted by my "Specialist". I blow dry and walk away, it can't get any easier then that. I go in every six weeks for my retightings that still take three hours to do. After a retightening I wait for three weeks before washing. Water loosening my hair some what so i avoid it within the first three weeks to let my growth move my scalp intend of the water.

So I'm one year in and looking forward to more growth.

Are you loving your locking process? Or no?

Tell me about it.

Chip Cherrio To Ya!

Would you guys believe that my job had the nerve to change the system where I could not get into my page. Bastards! But I'm still around and locking and popping. My hair is still far from being locked the progress is going slow however I'm still glad that I did it. I will post in the next couple of days, until then, talk to me.
Any good new shampoos to use?

Walking and Locking

On Sat November 1, I reached my 7th month of locking.

It's crazy just how fast that the time flies when your not wasting time combing and worrying about your hair. At this point I think of my hair as an after thought. It's crazy really compared to how much I did to maintenance my hair prior to locking. I have never curled or rolled my locs at this point yet and I really don't think I intend to until it's very long. I really don't think that it will be noticeable if I did so why bother? Now my hair has stopped slipping and my stiff curl has relaxed some what. At about four months my hair started to curl right up. My locks overnight looked shorter but to me were better because it showed I was making progress. Now when I get up in the morning my hair is an after thought. I put on clothes and get ready and then five minutes before walking out. I style my hair or just set it free to hang. I could never in a million years do that type of stuff when my hair was loose.
Length wise my hair is growing pretty quickly, and has really thickened up too. My hair is now a little past my shoulders with my stiff curl. The sizing of the locks I had installed has remained the same. They have not became larger over time as of yet, so on that only time will tell. I still get some bunching on the ends of my hair that my Specialist works on little by little during my retighting appointments. So at this time I still walking and locking and laughing.

How are your locs doing?
