My three year lo-aversary will be August 31st, so I guess Ive been loc'd for ...
um, lemme see
I'm terrible with math
(counting on my fingers)
I've been loc'd for 32 months..
It doesn't seem like that long ago, and I'm quite sure I'm off on my number (it seems like I've been loc'd for less time. and now that I think about it and look back at pictures, I realize that I've only been loc'd for what will be going on two years, so technically I'm at 20 months with my locs.
Okay, now that we've settled that, lemme tell you a lil bit of what's been going on ova hair (you get it? over HAIR??).
I've been doing my own maintenance since March of last year (2010), or maybe it was May. in either event, Ive been doing my own washings, stylings, maintenance, colorings etc. and although its taken some time to learn how I like my hair, it has been worth ever second. I learned that pipe cleaners don't work for me, but pin curls do. I can go about 5-6 weeks without a retwisiting, as long as I moisturize often. My hair loves conditioner (which I thought was a o no for locs), and needs to be trimmed every two moths or so. I haven't dyed my hair since the fall (2010) - okay, I did dye my roots, but that doesn't really count.
My hair has gotten really long too. the locs in the back have finally fallen just past my neck onto the top of my back - which is really exciting,and the ones on the front come down to my chin if I let them fall that way. I can almost tie the ones on my the side under my chin -almost.
Its has also gotten really thick, and HEAVY! and they hold so much heat... who knew that a 60 degree day would make my head sweat so much!
here are a few pictures, to give you an idea of where I am with my hair..
enjoy!
