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.

The morning after - 29 May 2009 - first day out.

 

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!

Yaay! 

28 May 2013 - Post ReTi, sore headed and happy!

Monday 28th May 2012 marked the 3rd anniversay of my Sisterlocs! My babies are 3 years old and maturity reigns.

NO TURNING BACK!!

My Absence.


I was unable to update my blog due to work constraints, (Observations for those in the know) and finally I am free at last ... free at last, and I truly do thank God that I am free at last! LOL!
No, work is not over yet, but half term is looming :D yaay! And we are embarking on the final stretch 6 exact weeks and then the end of another school year!

3 ... Three wonderful years of absolute hair freedom, with the exception of my addiction. I have always loved water, especially on my head!Yes I am an addict, a shampoo addict. I confess.

Well this is me on 27th May. I need to Reti so will just let you peruse a few pics, have not taken many lately, and I will report back when my grid is back in order.
