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~

Well, my hair is losing the "coil" pattern. They are starting to look more like locs everyday. I am so excited that I have stuck it out to this point. I often question myself, "girl, why didnt you do this a lot sooner?" Simple, Felee wasnt ready. I would have started, panicked, and cut them boogers right outta my head. That is not an option for me at this point. Glad I waited. There is something on the inside that has to like click before you actually decide to loc your hair. I know my husband said to me in the very beginning, "You know that is permanent, are you sure that is something you want to do." Well, in a sense it is permanent, but then again its not. Its a matter of how you look at it.Kinda hard to describe right now, but for those of you that have embarked on the journeey before me, you know what I'm talking about. Any whoooo, next month will be 6, hear me know, 6 whole months that I have been on the journey! That is truly remarkable! What I started out doing, i don't necessarily do anymore. I didnt do a lot anyway, but its even less now. I wash, I rinse, I twist, I oil, I spritz and thats it. Pure and simple. For me, less is best, and the less I do, the less I constantly worry... Now instead of washing at some given timeframe, I wash when I feel like it. I rinse and my scalp thanks me. I twist one time and thats it. I oil my scalp when needed. i spritz w/ some H20 to liven things up. Can't get any more simpler than that. I guess I could do more, but why????? If my hair is doing ok as is; if it aint broke, dont fix it.. :ol Styling options for me right now are simple; curl my babies and let em flow. When they grow a little more maybe I'll wear them straight, maybe not. Curl em and go. Curls last for days and days and days, and, well u get the picture.... The length i had at the beginning is definitley GONE. What happened? When did it happen? Oh well, from what I have been readin I THINK that is part of the whole locing process..... any way, I love my babies, and anticipate them growing up into toddlers, then teens, then mature adults... Not quite sure what stage I am in now, but I'm still HAPPY! Grace and Peace, ~FeLee~

Well, we are almost to the end of May. No twisting done since the beginning of the month. rinses/washes/twist outs and perm rods, but no twisting. I likey. Something else I have learned, or should I say revisited, STAY OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S ALBUMS!!!! It's ok to peep for a minute, but then you gotta keep on truckin! If not, you will have some SERIOUS loc envy! That happened this month and I seriously thought about picking out my locs and restarting them w/ two strand twists! Why? Cause I just happened to mosey on up in somebody elses album for a wee bit too long and started thinking, hmmmmm if I pick these out and start over maybe they will look like so and so's! Ohhhh no. May 28 will be 4 months to tha day and I aint pickin out a cotton picking one! I had to look at my babies and really apologize for wanting to take them down and start over. So and So's are pretty, but you know what, so are mine. Now, if my front would just bud...... Until next

Well, the month of April about to be ghost and I have only posted a few pictures. They are mainly from the first of the month.. Last entry I said that I would simply let my hair do what it does and that is what I am doing. For me less is more and I can tell you that my hair really thanks me for that. In addition to my perm rod sets, I have now discovered braid outs. I don't really see a big difference between the twist out and the braid out, but I think the braidout may just be one of my new best friends... :o) I cant braid, but my daughter can! That means a rest for me.. :o) Well, we will see what the month of May holds for me! Until next time, peace people! ~FeLee~
