Why did I do it this way? .... Because I could ... :)
In a very reflective mood. This journey has meant so much more to me than growing healthy hair, so much more was going on in the background, but just look what The LORD Did! He will carry us through, He is so FAITHFUL, I never would have made it, but I'm still here ... NO WEAPON ;)
The latter will be greater ...
Back to work shortly, so, one more for the road.
If my idiosyncrasies bore you ... just click on the image to clarify.
Reminisce pages of lock progress and growth over one year (3.5 to 4.5 years.)

A Celebration of Four, Yes FOUR Years Sisterlocked ... time flies when you love your journey.
In the beginning ...
I thought it would be quick and easy. But, I quickly discovered how much damage had been done from simply tight braiding and weaving, not to mention years of processsing. You thought hair was dead, mine definately was, and it took a very long time to recover and adapt to its natural state.

It took a couple of years.
before my hair began to trust me again, trust that I would not colour of process it, honestly it felt as though I was allowing a very sick part of e to heal, I am not my hair, to coin a phrase, however my hair is a part of me. I was making the skin of my scalp sick by abusing it, everything I did to my hair, I was also doing to my scalp. It was simply unavoidable.
And now ...
... the work really begins, longer locks, more responsibility. My journey has evolved from growth to effort in maintaining lint free/dust free/mould free SisterLocks. Serious attention is paid to my enviroment, products (I have less in rotation) and now even my ReTi schedule has altered drastically.
Here and Now
... today Liz Joseph of Locks Royale did my ReTi for me!

The Abc's of Little things ...
a) Longer locs, more challenges, you have to learn how to sit without the locks getting trapped by your back and the chair your sitting on, you only find out when you twist your head. LOL!
b) When you wash them requires thought, they take longer to dry, MUCH longer. Planning is important. Today I woke up and washed and showered at 7.30 ... well just because! I didn't really pay attention to how long it took to dry, but its warm - ish, so that was cool.
c) I really should try curling and styling, but I can't be bothered. I should try, but I can't sleep with anything restricting in my head. also I am not interested in putting rollers in my head either. MEH! LESS is more sometimes!
d) Each loc varies in density, thickness and length. I find it interesting how one loc sprouts out in sudden growth spurt past all the others, like my 2 temple locks which reach my chest, really random!
I thought I would throw in some comparison pics (below) what a difference 2 years make!
