We've Been Doing This Thang For A Year Now...

...locing that is. I made it. I made it. And, boy, did I learn a lot about me & my hair during this year. I realized that:

• My hair around the edges and nape are much kinkier than the rest of my hair
• My hair bunches a whole, whole lot. I got several humps & bumps from bunching...Oh well!
• I get antsy & want my hair to look a certain way when I should just chill & let it do its thang
• This is my 3rd attempt at locking since removing my Sisterlocks in 2005 & the longest I've lasted without removing my locs...I was tempted a few months back & even removed a few but that doesn't count, right?
• Everybody's hair is different. A product that works for you may or may not work for me
• Patience is paramount!!
• My hair grows "out" more than it does "down," which gives me a lioness look.

To celebrate my tenacity, I decided to re-color my hair. Last year sometime I colored the front of my hair. A few days ago I colored my whole head w/a brownish-orangey color.

Check out my progress from Day 1, Week 3 to Year 1. Big difference, eh?

I'm Loving 'EM!!
