Countdown to My Locs!

In a little over two weeks I'll be back in the Loc'd Family!! *BIG SMILE* I've decided to start my locs on December 12th (12/12/12)...kinda of cliché, lol, but since I started my Sisterlocks on 10/10/10 I figured it was only right.... 

If you follow me on any social media account, you know I'm itching to start my locs...so much so that it's almost a daily routine for me to put in a twist or two of how I anticipate my locs to look.

Hair Diary: Curly Wash-N-Go

So this morning, I decided to try something a little different with my Wash-N-Go regimen... 

Lately, I've been using the CURLS line of Leave-In Conditioner and Curl Definier, but today I choose to use a new shampoo and leave-in/hair lotion. 

DISCUSSION | Starting My Locs With Backcombing?

This is my first video, sort of an introduction, to my new journey to Traditional Locs. While searching through YouTube for Loc inspiration and doing some research for my own journey  I stumbled upon two great channels; Shawnta715 and PrettiPoison27. 

Creating a Stronger Sisterlock Base

By now, I'm sure you've seen the two Sisterlocks hanging on the side of my head... I kept them after my Big Chop because they looked cool with the Loc Wraps and I didn't want to cut them. To keep them blended with my TWA, started using them as my "natural headband" to pull my hair back off my face. 

In order to create the "headband", I have to tie the Sisterlocks together in the front and push them back. This does create some tension at the base and after a week of wearing them like this, I felt like the Sisterlock on the right was weak.

First Blow Dry after the Big Chop

Wow! I can't believe its only been a week with my TWA...it seems like I've had this little bush for so long, lol. Within this past week, I've done so many things with my hair that I haven't been able to do to in over 2 years; the first of which is blow-drying my hair straight.
