I'm Back And Glad About It!!!! 26 Months & Counting

Well it's been quite a while since I last posted. I dare not try and "catch up" on everything.  So, I will just start with the pertinent information...LOL.  Finished my Paralegal Certification Program with a 4.0 GPA. My original  locktician relocated in June and I was blessed to find a wonderful sisterlock professional.  I am pleased to introduce "Regan" to you.  Regan is amazing!  She and I bonded right away.  She knows her craft and rocks sisterlocks too.They are beautiful!   For those in the Denver Metro area check her out at "Crowning Glory Salon". She specializes in Natural Hair.  I am posting a picture of us from my  reit last week.  I have gone to her twice for my reti's and she has done a fabulous job. It still only takes about an hour for my reti.

Now for an update on my locks - My locks are healthy and growing.  I wear them pulled up in a ponytail a lot or pulled off my face. I decided to wear it down recently and was shocked at how long they were.  The back is really growing.  It's as if they had a growth spurt and I hadn't even noticed.   I have not had any problems at all with them.  Oh, in May I got some highlights / color on some of my locks. You can't really see it in the photo.  I think I'm still afraid of a lot of color.  Since I reached my 2 year anniversary in August, I think I don't have to worry about them too much (regarding color) since they are maturing quite well.  I still have ends that have not locked yet but I'm okay with that.  I just think that they are beautiful and I love them.

Well, since it's been so long since I last posted I hope that I still have a Sisterlock family out there. I will be posting often. By the way  "Miss ANB" - are you happy now????  I updated my blog.  LOL!!!!  I sure am.  I feel like I'm reconnecting with my family. Good to be back!!!!  BLESSINGS!

19 Months and Counting!

Wow!  I can't believe how time is flying. Nineteen months and my locs are growing and doing great. I love my locs so.  They are so versatile.  They go from the gym to work to an evening out with ease. No fuss and no problem.  At this point most of my ends still have not locked but it's okay.  They will lock in their own time. I am thinking about coloring my ends.  My ends were already colored when I started my locs but the color is almost gone now.  I checked with my loctician  a couple of weeks ago when I went for my reti and she gave me the go ahead.  I will consult with my color specialist since I don't know if she has colored locs before. I know some people have had problems with coloring their locs.  I don't want to do anything that might damage them.   If I decide to  color I will do it in May.  Anyway, I'm pretty excited about doing something different with my locs. I would also like to try some different styles.  I prefer to wear my hair off my face but find that I wear it freestyle (or with curls) most of the time.  I am also looking for a good natural shampoo, conditioner and moisturizer.  If you have any recommendations on either please let me know.
