15 months!!!!!!!

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!!!

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!

11 months - September

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:

10 month pics

Quickly, here are pictures from 10 months (also my Bahamas pictures were during month 10)

July - 9 months!!

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!!!

Two Weeks

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!
