Kindly Requesting Your Comments and Opinions, Are they Locks or Twists??
WHY?
Over the weekend I attended a friends 40th birthday party. It was great because we have remained firm friends since primary school, and are still close.
Now a majority of the ladies in attendance were Loc'd sisters! All of whom had mainly traditionals.
It was really great to see. I do know though that the friends of this lady are very afrocentric and much in touch with their African culture and roots. (Yes, she is Nigerian married to a man of Jamaican heritage)
We had not seen each other for about a year, so she was surprised to see my hair ... However her response was ... " Hey Nai ... Why you looking so hot and with ya sexy TWISTs too"!!!!"
She is and has been loc'd for quite a few years, so I ASSUMED that the loc'd state of my hair would be obvious ... NOPE!
She said ... "Well its that coolie mixed hair you got 'ennit, So it will look different ...
That was not the end ...
Another friend called me on Monday to ask ... where I got my TWISTs done! Now I HAVE seen this person quite often over the last year , so she knows when I got Sisterlocks, but I am guessing that people are calling them as they see them ...?
NOW, this is where I request YOUR thoughts and opinions .... I will not be (or am not) offended if you think the same ... ;)))
Below are pics I have taken in the last 30 minutes and over the last month. Wet and dry ... WHAT DO YOU THINK? ... Locks or Twists?
I am also due for a retight this weekend, so gonna have to be up early to train before hair appointment ! :)))
I Can seee the growth at the moment, and feel it too, so am very interested to see how it will look on Saturday, Also I know it is longer because drying time has increased, I used to dry in an hour or two, now it seems to take much longer. :)
Have any of you used Baby shampoo to wash your locks? Or do you know of anyone who has tried it? What do you think?
Enjoy these pics, and I will compare todays with Saturdays, God willing :))
Ohh almost forgot, I have 4 loc's at the front that are CONSTANTLY unravelling! It is so annoying!!!! WARNING to all Sisters with fine soft hair ... do not over manipulate, wash, or curl your locks too soon. I didn't, but STILL have to have some redone, and I am one week off 16 months locked!!!
... and Finally!
Work out / Training Progress so far ...
I Did Circuit training on saturday morning, (un wittingly walked to the gym beforehand :0) ... She nearly killed me! EVERY muscle from waist to knee was BURNIN!!.
Then, that night, I went partying .... Sunday morning I tried to get up and sit up ... I tell you ... I could not sit down good for 2 days straight! SNM!
At a time when I would retain water (abdominal), and feel crap loads of pain. I am happy to report, reduced symptoms of oncoming cycle (PMS) and much reduced pain. I looked in the mirror on day of the 'onset' and saw not a fat bloated tender tummy but ... ABS DEFINITION!!!! HAAAA! LOVING IT LIKE THAT!!! and last night at Body Pump, I easily lifted my weights and even thought I should have gone heavier! I cannot believe there was a time I would have NEVER dared anything like this, especially on the FIRST DAY! Now, I do not think I could exist without it! As you may be aware I have posted this blog when I should have attended class, but decided on a hot bath, prayer and some time with my big babies ... :)
Bless you ALL xxx. ... Nai ...x
