Day 1

Hello Good People,

These pictures were taken Day 2 after a water spritz, braid, and sponge roller set. I will see how long this option last.

The Journey Begins!

Hello Good People,

I've started my journey! I really didn't think this day would come when I first learned of sisterlocks and made the decision to have them installed. I had to wait for my hair to grow out. It was hard! Above are pictures of my first night with my sisterlocks.

Kitchen Wars, Hair thus far

Here are some pictures of my hair as I transition from a relaxer to all natural! My last perm was June 13, 2008. I'm looking forward to getting sisterlocks. I'm doing my research reading every blog I can read and trying to decide if I will do the BC or leave the perm ends. My hair in the "kitchen" really coils.

No More Perms

Well,

Things are changing. I've made the decision to go natural. I've been natural at different times in my life. I did not get a perm until I was 15 years old. I lived in Los Angeles at the time and my hair could handle a press and curl.

I've decided to go natural for a couple of reasons (1) I'm tired of my scalp suffering, (2) I'm tired of seeing my hair on the bathroom floor, and (3) I want to be free.

I want to get sisterlocks. So, I'm waiting patiently and learning how to care for my transitional hair. Waiting is not easy.

Kids don't understand

Kids don't understand how much parents worry about them. I wonder if my mother stayed up late at night waiting for me to get home. My son is out late again. I wish he was home so that I can go to sleep. I must learn to let go. It's really hard.

Blogging

Ok,

I'm new at this! Maybe I can learn something from someone else or maybe I'll keep this too myself and make this private! Can I do that?
