salon visit




It's 8:05am and I'm very anxious because at 11am this morning I will have my first salon visit for a retwist and style. I guess I'm anxious because I don't know what I want. I mean as in a style. I do know what I 'm looking forward to is someone esle washing my hair. So Ill get back after my visits with pictures and my experience. okay i had my salon visit and the stylist she can really do some hair but she wasn't very customer friendly so I don't think I'll be going back. She saw that I had been interlocking my hair and she said not to do that anymore because my dreads would pop. I was like I don't want that to happen but I see so many people interlocking and I just wanted to know if that was true? Also what do you do about the hot salon dryer, I hated that the most because the top of my head was really on fire? I like to treat myself to the salon more often, once I find I a new stylist because I am really digging the style!

Hey you guys and my how time flys. Well what's been up with me. Last month I was not feeling so beatiful got on the scale and I was two pounds away from 200. Depressing I went to not feeling good about my self at all. So that was three weeks ago. I did something about it, I started a diet. Which didn't consist of much change at all. A girl likes to eat but I over eat, so when I'm full I just let that plate go. I go walking in the morning. AS FOR MY HAIR I HAVEN'T NOTICE MUCH CHANGE, but I'm learning to take each day as it come. The day before thanksgiving i will go to the salon again, for a style I saw on the computer. Yeah Thanksgiving is big because it celabration also for my sister birthday. I have this one feeling when you become natural, you want to just become natural all over by that I mean lately I just want to watch what goes into my body! The kids hair is coming along. To make myself feel good I did a mini photo shoot of myself.

Extentions




In September I attempted to cut Shanti perm off. It was uneven, then Shanti is a twirler, whenever she gets tired she twirls in her hair and sucks her tongue. So every morning I have to get back up and do the style I did over again. Her hair was to short for a pony tail. So yesterday I went to the salon and added extentions into her hair which I will probabably leave for six month, cut the rest of the perm off then decide what I'm going to do with her hair then. Patience is growing but it's going to take a while to lock because it is really soft. If anyone has any ideas, I'm ope for them. By the way shanti still has her braid locs underneath!

A wise saying!

The fragileness of the mirror that the woman views herself in( the eyes of others) this crazy world. It's not what others think of you, it's what you think of yourself. All that's a part of loving yourself. Some more words said by my baby

Baby, I love you!


Baby, I love your naturalness because it expresses your confidence, it express your beauty and the love you have for yourself as a strong black woman. This was a statement made by my fiancee. It's good when the man you deeply in love accepts you for the woman that you are. I mean I stand alone in my journey but it good when the people who surround you stand for what you stand up. When I first started this journey and my locs were babies I had so many negative comments. But I knew who I was and what I stood for and that was all that matter. Now that my babies have grown and oh how those same people who gave me those comments are in awe. But my baby has always loved me and supported me for who I was. I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT NOT TRY TO BE LIKE ANY ONE ELSE!

It's happy Monday, the beginning of the week, the first day back to work. I always try styling my hair at the beginning of the week. I came up with something simple because I'll probably be outside either sweating or get caught in the rain. What the point is you don't even got to worry about it though. That's the great thing about having dreads. I condition my hair last night and it feels great, I must admit it has not been feeling so great since I dyed it. from the look of this picture, my hair is almost fixing to touch my back.
