10 month update!


I remember turning 10 years old like it was yesterday. I had this HUGE birthday party. I got a Game Boy. I had this enormous cake. And I got a mess of money. Since then I have always loved the number 10.

And so the locs are 10 months old.

OMG!!

Yes, I'm excited. They are growing so beautifully (if I do say so myself) and ever since I started latching, I seriously love my hair even more. Latching means not having to worry about twists untwisting.

First off....I've been noticing more this month than any other month that my locs are:

a) touching my neck


b) covering my ears


That means they are growing somethin' serious. It also means they make my face hot. Grr.

So when I'm at home I usually have to wear to buns at the top.



...they aren't long enough to go in one ponytail.


Well, a REAL ponytail. But ponytails comes with a challenge.


That's a busted hair tie. Yep, my hair is STILL breaking ish. Back when I had the fro it was comb teeth. Now it's hair ties. Gotta love it!

I don't latch the first few rows of locs though.


These locs require the most maintenance because well uh...they are the ones in the spotlight.

Remember a few months ago when you could see my scalp?


Not no mo!


I don't know why I have that Playbill in my hand. LMAO! So random....

I am so happy. And so pleased.

And it is taking everything in me to not color my hair again. I know, I know. I won't. Three dye jobs is enough.

For now.

Video coming soon!

Nickelicious---> Aren't you loving the journey? I have a feeling I'll be doing some more combining myself.

Shana---> Girl, take your time. I remember when I was a loose natural and everyone kept asking me when I was going to loc. It was sooo irritating. Do it when you're ready! :) Noooothing compares to the TWA. I still miss that!

vivabrownbeauty---> Thank you, darling!

MyLoveMyLife---> Hahahaaa! You are the first person to call me that. Reminds me of Jason and whats-her-name's daughter on The Game.

my hero!

my locs started out the same length that yours did, but i'm only a about three months in, now.

my loctician wasn't treating me great, so i've just started trying to maintain them on my own.

whenever i feel bad about my hair, or like i'm afraid i can't do it anymore, looking at your blog always perks me up again! <3

thanks for all your posts, keep doing what you're doing~
