It's MY Turn

Yay for me!! I have finally begun my lock journey. I locked up on Mother's Day weekend by way of 2 strand twist. I actually tried to lock my hair back in March, but it was so terrible that I didn't even bother posting nor did I take any pictures. It was that bad! She attempted to lock my hair with a comb coils but it wasn't for me. I love the way comb coils look. I think they're a wonderful way to lock hair, but if your hair is shoulder length or longer, it doesn't work well. It partially unraveled and I tried to salvage it, but it just didn't look right. It did actually start to lock but it was lumpy, gnarled and weird looking. My hair looked like it had rheumatoid arthritis! It was embarrassing. We'll see how long this new set will take to lock. I would've liked them a bit smaller, but I'm not mad. I would like to be able to style my hair but I know I need to leave it alone. Not being able to wash it for a couple weeks will be my biggest challenge. I LOVE to wash my hair or at least run it under the shower head when I take a shower. It feels so invigorating. I bought the locktician's hair spray and it contains witch hazel, among other things, and it feels nice to spray my scalp with it. Anyhow, I am excited to see where this lock journey takes me. I will keep you all updated with my progress.

Here's my eldest crazy girl. Doesn't she look good with locks? I think they suit her personality perfectly. They're fun and free, just like her! See that little one in the bottom pic? That's my 2 year old and I'm gonna lock her up this year too. I was waiting for her to get old enough to stay still and I learned that all I have to do is pretend I'm doing someone else's hair and, voila, here she comes running! Lol. I'll let you know when her big day is. Until then, take care of your hair!

Twisting Away...

When I checked on my blog (after many months, I admit), I was surprised to see that it looked significantly different than it had the last time I looked at it. Apparently my blog design code expired or something. I apologize for the ugliness for those of you who ventured across my blog. I will be more diligent in my blog upkeep in the future. I will try, anyhow.

My hair is still unlocked, my daughter's hair is still locking. I am very happy that I decided to combine her locks and palm roll them. It seems to be locking faster. Even the ones that I combined are locking together nicely. I wish I had started them off this way, but we live and we learn. I'm starting to finally see some length. I know her hair is growing, but because they were matting and growing together (growing wider, rather than longer) the growth was hard to see. She and I are waiting for it to start growing like weeds! It seems like a nice idea now of super long hair, but I'm sure it's more challenging. But we'll deal with that when it comes.

Well, I just wanted to update on her hair and to say hello to everyone. Contact me with questions or comments. Take care of your hair!
