Six months go by fast

I can't believe how time flies! Six months have come on gone so fast.  My locs and maturing quite well, I think. My temples are still thin, but at least it's growing and even though they won't stay in at least, Ms Tee can loc them.

NEW SISTERLOCKS

I thank God for Tee Smith! She did a marvelous job, but since I don't have a thick head full of hair, I am not sure it the pictures convey the beauty I see in the mirror. My sisterlocks were born n Sunday April 5th. The birthing process took 11 hours and the result is 331!

APRIL 5: THE BIRTH OF MY SISTERLOCKS

I am so excited! After months and months of celebrating everyone else joys and pains of living a sisterlocked life I get to cross over into the land of freedom. Even though I have not done much to my hair since shaving it all off on Mother's Day '08, except for comb coiling twice, 3 henna applications, 2 bentonite clay applications, and simple wash 'n go's, I get to throw away my denham brush (I never did like it anyway). But the essential oils are here to stay, I can't imagine life without them. I do have a question for everyone reading though and already have been through the initial baby phase. I just receive in the mail today my order from OyinHandmade of Frank juice and Greg juice, do you think I can I still use them or just I wait until my sisterlocks have officially settle in? Please let me know what you think.

My locitian is named Tee Smith, she does my husband's locs. She put 4 test locs in around March 20. About three weeks ago we were entering a restaurant and a lady there had the most beautiful sisterlocks I've ever seen in person, they were way past her bra strap. So I left my group and went to compliment her on her gorgeous locs and found out that her locitian is Tee. Not that I had to see someone else's hair to know she's good because I seen what she has done with DH's. But me..... I am like a child waiting for Christmas morning....I'm soo excited and I just can't hide it!

But until Sunday April 5 at 0800, I'm 1 loc and 4 sisterlocks down and many many more to go!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WAIT???

My DH, T-Bear has been commenting on how possessed I am with reading blogs about "sisterlocks " and so this evening he too got caught up! See T-Bear is already locked, matter of fact this month is his one year brotherlock anniversary..CONGRATULATIONS MY LOVE! But here is where the problem starts...His suggestion is that I wait about six months or so until my hair gets a little longer before I start my sisterlocks... WAIT?!?What the! (Thank God for salvation) That's like putting a cupcake in front of me and telling me not to eat it.

One sister-lock down...many more to go

Hello everybody. This blog is about my journey with "hair". I have always said that I never had a love for "hair". But now when I look back over my trials and tribulations with "hair", I realize that I did not have a love for "permed hair" or "pressed hair" for that matter. I would perm it one day and turn around and cut it all off the next day. Whenever I cut it off, that is when I was at my happiest! I loved not having to get up one hour earlier in the morning to do "hair" or worrying about sweating too much at the gym (that is when I did back to through the doors) and being ready at the drop of a dime to get in the road. But boredom always took me back to knocking on perm's door.

We would hang out for a few more years and like any other toxic relationship, I'd forget why it was I wanted out in the first place! But I would stay for every other reason that didn't make sense. I eventually would come back to my senses, even for a little while until I met "texturizer". Which I honestly think is worsed than "perm" because it seems tex would come around way more often.

And then I ran into "micro braided hair"! It hurts my head to think about the torture of getting my brains pulled out every six weeks to seven weeks. I know normally it's eights weeks, but I had to make sure my braids looked good no matter the cost.... I don't even want to start adding up the cost of 2 bags of human hair PLUS the visit to The Braiderie PLUS the tip!! But I loved the look.

Then one day it finally hit me!!! Why not sister lock it! I can't tell a lie, I have to give my teddy bear the credit. When we met, I had just cut off all my hair so I was wearing it faded and he was wearing cornrows. When we married, he was starting to get his coiled and I was still living a "partial lye" because a few months later I had a perm in my head. I see why it's called creamy crack.

May of 2008, after much pleading, I was finally relased from the lye! I've been stalking just about everyone's blogs and I am trying to patiently wait my turn even though my god-daughter would tell a different story. But until my day....I'm one sister-lock down and many more to go!!

Much Love & Blessings
