From Fab Curls, to Rockin Locs!

Pictures!!! Really Red Hair and New Hairstyle!

2012-01-21T20:22:00.000-05:00

Ok, this post has lots of pictures! yay! I finally got my hair the bright red that I wanted using Adore Hair color. I dyed the top half of my head bright red and the bottom half a darker, richer plum color. I first dyed my hair in November and dyed it again in December. Adore hair color is just a rinse so it isn't damaging to my hair - BUT the red just fades SO quickly! Anyways, just a quick post! Thanks for stopping by!

2 years: longer locs, red locs

2011-10-04T20:26:00.000-04:00

Honestly, time FLEWWWWW by!!! 2 years! 2 years!?!!?!? awesome!!!

I know I haven't written on here since May, but I've definitely been taking pictures ever so often to chronicle any cool changes my locs have gone through! Basically, I've combined all of my locs around my edges since they were a bit too thin. Also, I haven't twisted my roots or latched my roots since July 2010 O_o wow right!! But I do LOVE it!

Let's see what else, oh, now I can throw my locs up in a myriad of cute ponytails and updos due to gaining some length, finally! :-)

My locs got super blonde this Summer by using the lightening spray and for my locs' 2nd bday, I dyed my locs two different dark shades of red and brown! I used L'Oreal Superior Preference in 4R and 4W. I dyed my top half the more richer red color and the bottom half I dyed the dark brown with a red tint. I left both colors on for 45 minutes - I have NEVER used an entire bottle of hair dye, let alone TWO whole bottles of hair dye! I was definitely rinsing my locs for over an hour and even rinsed them again tonight for an hour to ensure ALL dye was completely removed.

Oh, also to commemorate 2 years of locing I wrapped one of my dreads in the back in red, gold, and green wire - I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, enough chatter - see below for pics of my hair!! Look at that comparison from day one, one year and two years!!!!

Ciao and thanks as always for reading and stopping by!!

Peace!!

my hair - a week ago

1.5 years and lighter locs!

2011-04-21T14:43:00.001-04:00

That's cool! :-) So the close of April will be the end of my 19th month of having a head of fab locs! yay! I love them more and more each day! I've recently been toying with the idea of what it would be like to have my head of curls back, but then I think about all the time I've invested in my locs and snap out of it. quick! I love my hair and can't wait to see what the rest of this year and many more bring!

So lately I've totally been missing my lighter hair and want to dye my hair but don't want a head full of one color locs! So I was just going to use Sun-In like I did last year, BUT it hasn't been that sunny and warm enough for me yet to go lounge outside and let the sun lighten my hair. Good thing for John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray!

I LOOOOOOOVE this stuff!!!! All I had to do was spray on and apply heat to activate the formula. Since it's heat activated, I used my blow dryer for like 2-3 minutes after I sprayed it on. I got it two week's ago and applied it twice that day. I saw a slight change and decided I would do it twice a day for a week. *note - all this heat on my hair made my scalp DRY! so after a couple days of using this spray, I made a nice oil conditioning spray with coconut oil and added Jamaican Black Castor Oil to my shampoo to restore some much needed moisture to my locs!*

Anyways, after using it for a week, see below for the FABULOUS results!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it and can't wait for the sun to get really hot again so I can use Sun-In to go even lighter!

my tumblr

2011-03-23T12:19:00.001-04:00

I totally LOVE this picture of my locs! This is near the end of my 17th month! I LOVE them!

My tumblr - what's yours?

15 months!!!!!!!

2011-01-30T17:11:00.002-05:00

ha! It's about time I post on this here blog! So the end of January marks the end of 15 months with my fab little locs! I LLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEE them!!!!!!!!!! I've started to notice some length (I can put them in a pony tail!! cheaaa!) and my locs seem to be getting a bit thicker! yay!!! I have to use a bigger clip to put my hair up than before, score!!! :-) Anyways, check the pics below! And as always, thanks for reading!
Ciao, *B*

It's the little things that matter lol! look at that tiny little clip I was using to hold my hair up - this was 2 months- compared to the one I'm using now :-)

Now

2 months

These are pics of my little ponytail! *Side bar* ugh! Wearing my hair up all day gives me the wickedest headache, EVER! So, I don't wear my hair up like that often!

OK, and now some texture pics and silly pics! That's it! ttfn!

One Year!!!

2010-10-03T12:54:00.001-04:00

Wow! it's officially ONE year with locs! yay! Time really, really, really flew by! Let's show comparison pics to start:

Day one:

One Year

WHAT a nice difference! :-) I definitely learned a lot about my hair and of course that LESS is always more when it comes to caring for my locs. Recently, every time I ran into someone who hadn't seen me in a while they said they loved my hair and those that were locked always asked the same question: "what are you doing to it? your locs look so nice!"

I would answer that I hadn't done anything to them; anything meaning twisted or used product. This summer I didn't do anything to my hair, just washed it! **Ohh, BTW, I found some yummy and amazing shampoos at Marshall's for $9 - 33.8oz EO Lemon Verbena Clarifying Shampoo and Pure & Basic Tea Tree & Rosemary Shampoo** I LOVEEEEEE the Lemon Verbena shampoo! It smells DIVINE and keeps my hair super clean and moisturized.

I've been either wearing my hair straight or curled with pipe cleaners. My pipe cleaner curls last a few days. I found that I do not like when the curls are so tightly curled, so I usually like them the most the second day onward.

My friends and family have also been commenting on the length I've gained and how full my hair looks. It's funny because now when I THINK something is on my neck or ear like a bug or whatever, I swat at it ferociously, and then have to clam down and realize, DUH, it's my hair! LOL!!! silly, I know, right!!

Anywhoo, I am so excited to have reached this awesome milestone and am looking forward to many, many more years!! :-)

Thanks for commenting and reading!

Ciao,

11 months - September

2010-10-03T12:36:00.000-04:00

First set of pics from 11 months - I tried out this hairstyle that I saw my friend wearing. I thought it was so cute! It's easy too! Flat twist up the back and a few on the side. *note* I thought I would have to use bobby pins, but my friend told me that she just tied her hair to hold it together, so that's what I did! Leave the front out straight, curled or a braid out. I wore this style for a week and everyone gave me compliments! The last picture in this group is how curly and fun my hair was after taking it out of the style. I love the curls too so I wore those for a couple days:

Second set is a group of texture shots and a couple pics from when I tried out pipe cleaner curls:

2010-08-02T15:17:00.001-04:00

Super crazy! I am telling you time is FLYING by me! It is August and I'm starting my 10th month of locs! *yay*

Pictures (taken from my HTC Evo) from my 9th month and some things that are happening with my hair!!!

- My hair continues to get stiffer and needs LESS maintenance! (this is awesome because it's the summer and I go swimming, the beach, workout, wash my hair often so yeah, no latching! I did a quick retwist at the end of the month)
- 95% of my ends are sealed!
- I can get my hair in a pony tail! a tiny one, but I can tell my hair is definitely growing!
- For clarifying I am using baking soda, acv and I read about using vodka (O_O) in the shampoo so I've got to try that too!
- I've noticed that with the heat my hair is feeling a bit dry lately so I wet it often through out the day
- I tried out a couple of styles that I found on blogs and you tubes (I will update when I download my other pics at home)
- um pretty much just loving my hair! and looking forward to what 10 months will bring!

That's it for now! Ciao and thanks for reading!!!

DC Carnival

2010-07-06T10:48:00.000-04:00

My friends and I participated in the DC Carnival again and it was a BLAST, as per usual! Hot as hell, but OH SO MUCH FUN!!! We played mas with the indulgence band again and were covered in paint and glitter by the end of the day, SUPER FUN!!!

This year I decided to do some fun make up and PRAYED that it would last all day through the water, mud, paint, glitter and sweat! This is the look I liked, so I tried it out a couple days before Carnival:

Here is my version:

Not too bad, aye? lol! Well anyways, the test would be the actual day we jump down the road! Here are my pics from Carnival! In our kit we got these fun jewels so I incorporated those into my makeup look!

Look! The makeup lasted all day and I only lost a couple of the jewels!

Since it was SO sunny and SO hot, by the end of the day, my locs had gotten a few shades lighter ha! I love it though.

OH! and check out this man's GORGEOUS head of locs! OMG iDie! So luscious!!

8 months

2010-07-06T10:33:00.000-04:00

Hola! So June marked my 8th month locking! *wooooo hooooo* I definitely saw some changes as far as my ends sealing up and my hair becoming harder and stiffer. I mainly wore my hair straight, no twisting the roots or latching, just letting my hair be. I rinse my hair daily and wash it 2-3x a week. Keep it moisturized with my rose water & glycerin spritz and that's about it! Keeping it simple and letting my hair grow and do what it wants!

Below are just some pics of me and my hair!

7 Month Hair updates!!

2010-05-28T11:43:00.000-04:00

B-a-n-a-n-a-s!!!! Wow! 7 months already! *big grin* Fabulous! Can't belive it..at.all! I have been slack this month with posting, but here are my 7 month hair updates! **Click the pics to view larger**

Look how my hair is filling in! Lovely! And those locs in the back are moving along quite nicely! :-)

This is how I have been wearing my hair all month. I love wearing my hair curly! it's so cute and playful! Plus, it's a good style to wear in between re twists to keep the new growth semi-tamed lol! I appreciate my new growth though! It adds fullness and thickness to my fab head of hair!

Up next is my hair before and after twisting, LOL! The pictures speak for themselves! I had a good inch or more of new growth in the front that I re twisted. The back I leave alone, because the new growth locs up on its own. I don't know what I'm going to do with my hair since the pool is opening and I want to go swimming more! I don't want to be re twisting my hair everyday - which I NEVER would anyways - but at the same time I don't want to interlock the new growth either, because I don't want thinned out locs! I will figure it out, but headbands, clips, bobby pins will be my bestest friends this summer!

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Ciao,

I want to dye my hair! (7 months!!!)

2010-05-28T10:54:00.002-04:00

But I can't! So...I use Sun In instead!! I haven't had my hair this dark in a LONG time! I am used to dying my hair at least three times a year, blonde, and red. Well, I just couldn't take it anymore, LOL! so at the beginning of this month, on one of the hottest weekends here in DC, I laid out with my baby oil on - hey, I like to tan, and sprayed in some Sun In! Below are the pictures to show you how Sun In has lightened my hair so far this month. Enjoy! **Click on picture to make larger**

Twisting up 2.5 months of new growth

2010-04-27T14:40:00.000-04:00

**Lots of pics**

Yeah! I haven't touched my roots for a LONG time (since February ha!) and, well, I don't care :-) see, I want my locs to have healthy strong root beds and for my hair type, latching it once a month was TOO much stress on my hair! So, I let it be, until yesterday. I knew I did NOT want to latch, even though it is WAY convenient for me when I'm working out etc.

Over the weekend I went to this little beauty supply shop to check out some products. I must have been there forever reading all of the labels to make sure nothing gross or full of chemicals was going in my hair :-) I left with the Taliah Waajid Black Earth Lock & Twist gel. I picked this gel since it was water based, non flaky, had no alcohol and smelled pretty decent too!

Anyways, as I was going through my hair after my clarifying adventure, I noticed a few of my locs had married themselves lol which is ok, because they were pretty thin to begin with - Apparently they have been that way for a while because I wasn't able to pull them apart, so I just let them be.

I decided I definitely was not twisting up my whole head, but I would at least do the front half of my head and let the back be (plus, I like how full it look in the back so, yeah I'm leaving that alone) it didn't take long at all to twist up my roots, maybe like 35-40 minutes in total. So, below are the pics and results! *click to make bigger*

That's it for now! Ciao!

Clarifying...

2010-04-27T13:20:00.000-04:00

...blah! Do I hate this! haha! Dear apple cider vinegar, can you please not smell so PUTRID?! - signed, me!

So, the other day I was looking at my locs and thought about the last time I used some *nasty* ACV lol! it was a while ago! BUT it was definitely needed as my locs were looking rather D U L L! ugh, I don't like it when my hair doesn't look full of life and is dull/drab in color!

Over the weekend, I went to buy my supplies - ACV from Trader Joes, I also picked up their Tea Tree tingle shampoo - couldn't resist, it was only like $2! So anyways, I dreaded using the ACV as I just detest and LOATHE the smell - it's nasty! ok! Oh and I got a small bottle of Dawn to keep in my bathroom lol for clarifying purposes!

So I begin! I poured the ACV in an empty spray bottle (I recycled from some curly hair product I used to use) and went to spraying! I think this technique will be my favorite rather than dumping the mess all over my head as I did in the past. I like this method better as it allows the ACV to sit, soak and absorb into my locs. **Side bar** I was sneezing like crazy spraying that stuff all over my hair lol! The smell isn't AS bad when it's sprayed, but still! **end** I didin't spray too much that it was dripping all over me, but my locs were good and saturated with ACV. I let it sit on my head a little over 30 minutes while I did some stuff. I took a look in the mirror to check out my locs and I could already see that the dullness had subsided, GOOD!

So off I go to wash/rinse this stuff out! My hair felt S O dry! This stuff is incredibly drying to my hair :-( oh well. After a good long, HOT rinse, I got out to check on my locs again to make sure whatever may have been or could have been in my hair was gone! Oh and to see how sparkly, squeeky clean my locs were! My hair looked good, but I believe I am paranoid and thought I saw something so back I went to put a *little* bit of dawn on my hair, for good measure! This was even MORE drying to my poor hair! ugh! So after another good, long, hot rinse I ofcourse wanted to put something moisturizing on my hair to make it feel better lol! I felt bad for my hair! it felt so brittle and rough *sad*

I washed with that Tea Tree Tingle shampoo - oooh! I love it! it's all tingly and smells DIVINE! I like all the certified organic stuff in it too! So I am finally done with my hair, so I wrap it up to get all the excess water out, then let my hair air dry. Thankfully it doesn't take too long for my hair to dry since it is still pretty short.

Oh yeah, I do use my pantene clarifying shampoo once a week, but CLEARLY it wasn't doing the trick, so it looks like I'm going to have to use that *nasty* ACV every other week, or at least every 3 weeks or something! I don't like my hair looking dull! While I realize it isn't going to shine the way it used to, there is still no excuse for dull hair :-) even if I have to endure the assault to my nostrils ahem, ACV!

Month six - W O W!!!

2010-04-06T21:23:00.001-04:00

**6 month pics**

OK!!! What! 6 months! CRAZY!!! and Amazing :-)

Six month hair stuff:

- ok, as always.....I LOOOOOOOOVE my hair! just thought I'd let you know!

- my hair is still getting thick *check that 3rd picture*

- see that last pic? yeah well I haven't done anything to my roots...and don't plan on it! ha! I'm letting my hair just.be. and it is wonderful!

- I'm still using all natural hair stuff *that coconut oil is my absolute favorite*, except when I use a clarifying shampoo :(

- Lush BIG is still one of my favorites, but I recently started back using my mop c hydrating shampoo. I used this stuff when I rocked my curls because it is 1. organic 2. hydrating 3. sulfate-free 4. preserves color (which was important to me since I had platinum blonde hair!) 5. it has mango, black currant & orange - the cirtus-y scent is perfect after my morning workouts!

- ***BIG UPDATE*** ok, so recently I've noticed my hair is getting stiffer and harder *yippee* my hair is starting to condense! WOOP!!! it's so cool just to see the transformations my hair goes through, seemingly over night!

- the condensation isn't up the whole loc, just yet, but it is hard in some places and not as flexible as the rest of the loc!!! I was super excited to notice this cool change in my hair! Also the tips of my locs are definitely sealing and getting hard

So that's it! Just some quick updates!

Thanks for stopping by,

*B*

5 months!!

2010-03-14T22:38:00.000-04:00

Wow! That really is all I can say! My hair is doing it's own thing and changes like overnight! It's so amazing!!! It's like I look in the mirror and am amazed at how much my hair has grown, has plumped up and how it's taking its own form of locing up! It really is cool!

So, March marks, my 5 month mark and it seemed my hair wanted me to try something new! Now, I don't use any products, except shampoo. Well, because of that, my hair started feeling real dry at the end of month four. I did a little research and read raving reviews about coconut oil.

Last week, after the gym, I went to my vitamin shoppe to pick up some Ceritfied Prganic Extra Virgin, UNREFINED (this is important) Coconut Oil. The one I got, pictured below, is a product straight from the Philippines! Score!

So I took this SUPER light weight oil and liquified it and massaged it into my hair and scalp and let it sit for an hour or more. After that, I washed with my clarifying shampoo. The first thing I noticed was just how soft, lush and moiturized - not brittle feeling after using a clarifying shampoo - my hair felt!

Just like that, my hair was literally transformed by adding the nourishing coconut oil to my locs! *Why haven't I used this sooner?* Well, I didn't want to use any oils because I was afraid of build up. However, coconut oil is the LIGHTEST oil EVER and adds shine to my hair and strengthens it, as well.

I used it here and there all last week after washing or rinsing and I just loved the affects! My hair just looked so healthy! I just did another treatment where I saturated my hair with the coconut oil and my hair feels SO.AMAZING!!!

I am glad I found out about this coconut oil, but don't just get ANY kind of coconut oil! It has to be ORGANIC and UNREFINED! Pure coconut oil! I got mine for $9 and it's the best $9 I've ever spent :-)

Here are some pics of my hair; It is getting SO thick! I love it!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Fun!

2010-02-19T00:13:00.002-05:00

Four Months in!

2010-02-08T15:05:00.001-05:00

Yay! So, my little babies are 4 months *smile* They are just changing before my very eyes! and that is VERY exciting! It's so cool to see what your hair can do when you leave.it.alone!

This past month I became a product junkie and bought lots of shampoos for my hair: a clarifying shampoo (hated it!), Organix tea tree mint (LOVE IT!!), Dr. Bronner's peppermint bar (love it!!!) and Dr.Bronner's Tea Tree liquid soap (I didn't like it as much as I like the peppermint bar). Now that I am back to working out regularly *yay, go me* I pretty much rinse my hair daily and shampoo whenever I like (like 4x a week)

Anywho, here are pics of my hair @ four months (click images for close ups) :

It's filling in nicely back there!!

Healthy roots & dark red tips (idk how that happened)

Texture close up

Fun colors (I have not dyed my hair, this is from my previous coloring b4 I loc'd my hair)

I now twist the top and latch the rest

Cute curly ends

before...i loc'd - a picture post

See my picture slideshow after the break! :-)

Tres, Trois, Tre

2010-01-04T12:02:00.002-05:00

3 months! :-) still loving every minute!

SO my favorite shampoo, by far, is LUSH Big shampoo! it.is.AWESOME! It is made up of 50% sea salt - amazing!

At first I was WAY skeptical of this shampoo! One, was the price...$21 - eek! The other was the container size, ummm it's tiny!(11.7oz - about the size of those small containers of ice cream!) And third, I was confused on how this stuff would lather up, let alone, work! Boy were my "worries" subsided when I rubbed a SMALL amount into my scalp and went to work on my locs! Umm, great!

That picture up top is the best one I could find so you could understand the texture! LUSH uses some amazingly HUGE chunks of sea salt, that dissolve into your head and works wonders! I could tell it worked while in the shower! The sea salt tightened up my locs almost instantly! And never left my hair dry, dull nor brittle!

The lady at LUSH gave me a sample back at the end of November and I am still using it! Seriously, a little bit goes a LONG way! I wash with it about twice a week and rinse each day to give my locs life! My hair is WAY plumper and more at the top are knotting up beautifully! - WOOT!

Here are some texture pics of my hair at 3 months! can't believe it's already three months! I'm loc'd and LOVING it! yay! *Fist pumpin like champs* for my fab hair!

Fixing Bunched Locs

2009-12-23T14:11:00.001-05:00

So yesterday I was playing in my hair, as per usual, and came across a few bumpy, thick locs! At first i thought, maybe it's budding, but upon closer inspection I saw that my locs were all bunched *sad face* I didn't know how I was going to fix them, but I knew they were going to get fixed! So, I took a paper clip and unfolded it and went to work! Below is the progress:

These are close-ups of a couple of my bunched locs:

After I picked the hair out with a paperclip, this is what my hair looked like:

These are my locs, interlocked back together:

It was crazy to see how much my hair has grown! Plus, it was nice to play in my loose hair, even if it were only for a few minutes!

So that's it! Still loving my hair, but ofcourse and excited to see two more at the front, top of my head looking like they are trying to loc, FABULOUS!

Bantu Knots Comparison

2009-12-15T21:11:00.000-05:00

So I just did my hair for the evening in bantu knots and noticed as I was doing them, I had to put alot more in since my hair was getting real thick! *happy face* I decided to take a picture and was elated to find I had taken a picture of my bantu knots in October! Below are the comparison shots:

This is from 10/25:

This one is from 12/15 - what a difference!

My hair is definitely thickening up and I'm all too thrilled! I love this style because when I wake up, I just undo the knots and have cute little crinkly locs! :-)

Ciao,

2 months!

2009-12-03T09:39:00.003-05:00

So! It's officially 2 months *grin* I am LOVING my hair each and every day! My hair REALLY fits me! I wish I started sooner, but of course! Each day I look in the mirror and smile at the progress my hair is making! I love the fuzzies! LOVE them! They give each loc character!

Day 1, 2 weeks, 2 months - back of head comparison

I am excited that my hair is filling in and getting thicker because I can do different styles! When I first got my hair done, I could only pin it up with a bobby pin or curl it with my curlers. Now I can gather the front and pull it back and it has volume, lol! (It's the little things that make me happy!)

So since my last post, I haven't used any products on my hair and haven't done a retightening! Over the past 7 days I've washed/rinsed my hair in the morning and I LOVE the results! I think I will continue to do this! It makes my hair fuller and I love the little curlies at the ends of my locs :-)

I think I'm going to go through the end of the year with out a re-ti, or product(Sea salt loc tightening spray)! My hair just likes water, so it should be cool! Um, that's about it for now! No budding or anything like that to report, but all in due time!

Ciao,

1.5 months

2009-11-19T10:57:00.002-05:00

Hola! So it's been 1.5 months with me and my baby locs and I LOVE it!

So let's recap:

*I did a re-ti on Oct 31 using my home made tool.
*I also purchased Nappy-n-Happy sea salt loc tightening spray - smells good, I can't tell if it's doing anything though *shrug* price is good, but shipping is ridiculous! And the bottle could be better. The spritzer part is constantly getting stuck, annoying. I think I will just make my own sea salt and lemon juice spray.
*I found an old topic on Nappturality that recently got updated about a 6-week, use nothing/do nothing to your locs challenge! Love that idea! So a couple days ago I stopped using the spray (the only product I've been using on my hair) and I just did my first reti on Halloween, so I'm 3 weeks into the "do nothing" part and am beginning the "use nothing" phase! I think my hair will be better for it!
*Nothing has really changed with my hair. I have one little loc in the front that looks like it's trying to lock up - so cute! but other than that I have T O N S of loose hairs, I guess due to the loose curl of my hair? I don't really know though, but I'm not worried about them. They will find a home somewhere soon!

Hellllllooooo!!! So I'm REALLY loving, LOVING my hair :-) that's nothing new! So I took some flicks, lol! I braided my hair last night while it was slightly damp into four braids and undid them this morning; the results are as follows:

Hello! So I happened to take a peek at the back of my head and was pleasantly surprised to see less scalp! lol! that thrilled me! I also met this fab guy from Trinidad this weekend, who is 3 yrs into his locs, and he said he loved my little locs, said they were cute :-)

Of course I had serious loc envy, haha! his hair was GORGEOUS! He was giving me product suggestions, but I have not used any products and don't plan on it for quite some time. With my hair being interlocked, my hair, nor scalp have needed anything thus far except water :-)

Here are some pictures to show you:

this is day 1 - look at ALL that scalp lol!!

This is 2 weeks, see the difference! :-)

This is a closeup for texture. See all my fuzzy hair, I LOVE it!

That's all for now! quick little updates for you and me!
Hope everyone had a great weekend, I know I did!

So last Monday when I got to work I got TONS of compliments on my hair :-) I was pretty thrilled because I love my hair so much and it's fab that other people did too!

While out this weekend, debuting my new week old babies to the party scene, this guy was playing with my hair telling me how much he liked my "dreads" and how cute they were and he liked that my hair smelled good, LOL! hahahaha! people are hilarious!

Of course I adore my hair and am totally loving my new look! below are some pics of some styles I've worn with my new hair. Ciao for now, *B*

For this I just twisted up the front, secured with bobby pins and put the rest of my hair on my soft rollers to get curls:

Out again with my FAB hair :-)

First day @ work! (2 days old)
