A sister finally locked.

Silence is ...

I will start by agreeing and confirming the first paragraph of Kay Exquisites latest blog sentiments, I could have blogged a few times this month,  but life, time and emotions did not permit.

Loc count ...

I have an old mobile that has the facility to countdown days to an event, I set it for my Sisterlocks install day last May, it continues to count days since the event ... sooo on day 289 (2 weeks ago) I literally woke up that morning to discover my hair was, at best, 98% fully locked!

It has taken approximately 9 1/2 months, hmmm the time it takes to have a baby, Ha!!!

Excuse my ranting ...

Well since then I have been a VERY BAD girl ...

Ok OK  .. In the scheme of things, MY bad would not be anyone else's bad ... On that day I just stepped in the shower and washed my hair (why? because I wanted to!!!!)

AND ...

I used ANOTHER  shampoo, I used herbal essence balance (clarifying shampoo) cos I noticed I had the odd bit of build up on some of my oldest loc's, it was very effective,
Anyhoo, did anyone notice that I said and quote...' I just stepped...'??? yeah thats right ...

I did NOT band and braid, yeah thats right I DIDN'T! kmt ! (lol) and you know what? I DON WANT TO! kmt! (NEWBIES PLEASE do not try this at home!! I am rebelling but I am able to pay the price! please read on, there IS a method to my madness ...

As most of my followers are aware, I have like, the softest hair, I  found 3 or 4 that had totally unravelled from tip to end, acting-like-they-aint-never-been-in-no-sisterlock-pattern-before! KISS MY TEETH!
You should have seen them! Perfectly, curly and coiled looking shiny and pretty like they suppose to be free!!!
Why am I talking like this? Because I read everyones blogs and emails ok, they be washin hair like it aint no thing, EVERY week and then there's ME lucky to smell water once a month!!! I mean, I got this ONE LOC' (actually 2!) just behind my right ear that is locked at the top AND bottom but coiling like a black spring in the middle!

You will never guess what ...

Mis- communication is a pain in the rear. This happened to me recently, between me and my consultant. I asked if I could book my next appointment (in April) ahead of my current one, which SHOULD have been today (27th) She offered me a Retight Class for the 21st, I said yes! COOL! and was ready to blog it ...

SOO ... last Sunday I planned a day with kids and headed 20 miles north of north, I got to the petrol station and was totally feeling the day ... got to the car and my eldest gave me the phone, Liz said I needed to call her NOW!! WHY? because I was suppose to be 30 miles in the opposite direction! At her house cos everyone was waitin on me!!! GRRRRRRRRRR!

Yes I admit recently, I have poop for brains ...

... an HOUR later with MUCH frustration, and having dumped my kids on the side of a road to make their own way home  :((. I continued to drive 90 ... in a ?? mile zone ...
I arrived at my retight lesson, mentally  not prepared at all and rather stressed out.
HOWEVER! My BFF  TOLD me I MUST  focus on half full NOT half empty ... ready or not, here I was ...

4 hours later ...

I am a bonafide D I Y'er, YEP ... Nai is doing it for herself!
I was also unprepered for the fact that I would be sent home to do it myself, GASP! What!? No pamper me time?! gasp! splutter!

However ... I did it! Actually, I did it over 3 evenings, four hours per session, while watching TV or just chilling in my room. I can do it myself! I managed to join 5 or so, but patiently stopped everything, and unjoined them, I avoided knots and repaired a hole ... and I am VERY PROUD if myself ...
I found out that I hve a 3pt rotation, if I said that right, I think I started out with a 4, 

GUESS who is doing my hair for April .... ?

LIZ!!!!!!!! HAAAA HAAAA sorry loves, I need me some pamper time, yes I can do it myself but it is soo much better when someone does it for me! ROTHFL!!! ; )

But to tell the truth, I actually liked that I did it AND I plan on alternating with Liz to make sure they are all good and until I win over the curly rebel head of mine.

And finally ...

Today is day 303 tomorrow is day 304 ... if you are not a mathematician that means I am 10 months locked tomorrow the 28th march ... Nai is Loc'd, doing it herself (sometimes) and TOTALLY loving it xxx
