My...how time flies...

I know I haven't written since August. For those who care, I apologize. I started nursing school in August and have been even busier than I thought. I love the fact that it's fast pace, but by the same token, it takes all of my free time studying and whatnot. Anyhow...I still haven't committed myself to the locking process. I am still natural though. Ain't never gon' be no change in that! I have been taking pictures of my daughter's braidlock voyage all the while. Her hair has changed each month. This month, which is her 3rd month on lock-down, she is experiencing shrinkage and buds. Some of her hair looks somewhat locked. The hair in the back is starting to lock, but the hair in the front still very much looks like braids. I am going to try to post some photos so you can see what I mean. I am still loving the freedom from not having to force her hair into submission just so that it can look pretty. I love that she can just wake up, wet her hair and go. I don't love the re-tightening sessions. It's not difficult but it is time consuming. She has micro sized locks and it takes me days to do her hair. I don't have time to dedicate to her hair so I get in when I fit in. For those of you who are looking to this blog as an inspiration for your own lock journey, I will put together a list of shampoos and other products we use and processes we employ. I welcome any questions and positive comments. Until next time, I wish you well.
