2years locked, in a few weeks.

2009-03-10T06:04:00.000-07:00

I am here looking forward to my 2 years since having my hair locked,the journey has been mostly good looking back, I have learnt a few things about my hair and my personality ie I can have patience if I try hard enough, cause waiting on the hair growth can be a real test if you want to go on or just cut it all off.
I am just leaving them to do their own thing and looking forward to a few more years of rocking my locks.
The cost for retightening is going up this month so I am considering learning to do my own .I thought recently since I crochet very well there is a good chance Ill be able to do my hair.
Not quarelling about peoples prices but with whats happening I cant afford any increases, as I am cutting back on a lot of stuff.

Since I cannot take good photos of my 3 colored locs, I decided to take some of my plants,I love gardening and so my plants get a lot of my time, I do it to destress and for exercise.I look after them before going to work in the mornings and when I return in the evenings, I also spend a lot of money buying plants,its very rewarding.I dont have a lot of space so I plant them in pots.

WANT A CHANGE.(3 color locs)

2008-04-30T04:44:00.000-07:00

This is what I am Talking about.

For the pass couple of days I am irking to go cut off my sisterlocks, the three colors are giving me a bit of uneasyness, Gray mostly in the front, black at the roots and red ends, I had a brown color before I had my sisterlocs done,so now the ends are red(did I say that before) I have an appointment tomorrow Thursday May 1, to go color the ends.When I do that I will see if it looks better, if not I might just have to cut off the locs and go back to my black and white twa, sw knows nothing of this plan so shhhh.
