These pictures are a little delayed. I so forgot to upload them!
I had my 3rd appointment and can you believe that some of my locs are budding already? It's only been 2 months!
My greatest concern right now about my locs is that they are too small. My fear is that they will get heavier over time which will result in them getting thinner and thinner. I almost regretting getting them THIS small. I am definitely NOT turning back so I have to decide what I will do.
-Start Sisterlocking them ($$!!!!)
-Start combining them
-Deal with what I have for now and cross that road when I get there
(any advice from loc rockers would be soooo nice!)
I was remiss in telling my loctician how I felt. I I should have. I definitely will the next time I visit her.
Overall all though, I am in love with my hair. I think it's beautiful. My scalp was nowhere near as dry as it was last month's so that's a blessing.
I have decided that this time around I will start re-twisting myself. As much as I love my loctician, I never really wanted to be super dependent on a hair dresser. So I have to learn how to do this myself. In the next week, I will get to it. I will definitely be logging that journey.
Here are my babies...
...and some close-up texture shots.
It is amaziiiing what my natural hair is doing right now. I've always been fascinated with locs but even more so now because I am seeing the transition that MY hair is making. I mean....I can't even remember my comb coils.
I really wonder what my family will think when they realize that I am indeed growing locs. I swear folx wanted to get me counseling when I first cut my hair off and went natural in '05. I am the only natural lady in my immediate family.
We have to take "family photos" (gags) for my Dad's 50th birthday. It will be my Step-mother and three younger sisters. I'm sure all of them will be sporting fresh perms and/or sew-ins.
Meanwhile, I'll be the one standing out with my locs cheesin' like a mofo.
Peace and loc've.
