I have sealing ends, ya'll.... :o) I am so happy to see these. For so long, my ends were stringy and I just didnt know when I would FINALLY see a sealed end. I am so happy. :o) Can you tell????

Approaching the 7 month mark

Excitement? Not really. I think the excitement kinda went when I hit the 6 month mark. I mean dont get me wrong, I am excited, but I just don't document everything like I did the first 6 months. Hard to describe. Anyway, I still love my locs and I am pleased to say that I am glad I decided to loc my hair. I just wish I would have done this a lot earlier in life. I hear that a lot from a lot of locers, they wish they would have started sooner. I guess its just you have to get to that right moment in life before you loc. I am definitely there.

Well, it was like 100+ degrees last week and I decided that I needed to put my hair up. Not like its all down my spine or anything, but it felt cooler up ya know. So, I 2 stand twisted, china bumped, released just a little the next a.m. and wore my hair that way for a few. When the bumps (knots) started to come down I perm rolled the ends, released, fluffed a little bit and kept on rocking my pin up. I'll post a pic of that later.. So, I am headed into week 2 w/ this style from 1 style and I am so loving it. Gotta get to washing tho. I tie my head up at night, get up in the a.m. spritz a little, fluff and keep on gettin it... Ah, can't get any better than that, can it????

Washing* i have read so many blogs on washing, when to wash when not to wash, how often to wash, you name it I think I have read it. Anyway, I concluded that I have to do what I have been doing all along. In the summer months I have always washed more. My head sweats, gotta wash it. The winter months are a little less frequently. I have even been told by a "stylist" shug you gotta quit washing your hair for it to loc. My 2 cents on that: I think i understand what you are saying, but my hair is going to loc regardless. The h20 IMO helps my hair to hug and loc onto one another. Just my 2 cents... Anywho, thats my take on washing loced or trying to loc hair.. Wash as much as you see fit. whatever tickles your fancy....

Creeping on along (5 1/2 months)

Almost 6 months, ya'll

Hitting the half way mark!

Well, July 28th will be 6 months that I have been on my loc journey! I had a small setback, but I bounced back! I tried latching, AGAIN, and I think that maybe as my locs get firmer it is something that I will definitely look into. I liked the end result.. :o) Don't get me wrong, I loooooove my palm rolled locs, but latching is definitely looking up. Well, 6 down and 6 more to go until I make it to 1 year!!! Yea, ME!!!!

5 Month progress

Well, who woulda thunk it? I have made it 5 whole months w/out taking out my babies? Loving it for sure! Had a family reunion this past weekend and got mad compliments on a simple pull back style w/ some hair clips??? Got the question, are you locking Felisha? Your hair looks really good. Talking about somebody cheesing... I thought I was the ish... LOL anywho, I am happy w/ my decision to loc after all these yrs, but I know it had to be something internal before I just jumped out there. Routine is pretty simple, wash and retwist once a month. I discovered a castor oil and aloe vera juice spritz that my hair simply ADORES. The front has started to loc and I am so happy about that. I was getting a little worried that they may not do their "ting", but they are... So that is the update for now. July is my 6 month mark, so maybe I'll do it up for that. We'll see....
Until the next time Grace and Peace~FeLee~
