Trying Something New

Tired of the same old same, I decided to try something different. I cornrowed my hair & rolled the ends w/loc loops. I did this so that once the braids were removed, my ends wouldn't fly all over the place. I didn't use setting lotion, just water. The crinkles lasted a little over a day, but, overall, I liked the style.

My Cousin's Braidlocz

At the beginning of December, I installed braidlocz on my cousin's hair. His hair is very dense but not too coarse. I suggested he go w/braidlocz so that he wouldn't have to worry about unraveling as much, if at all. Plus, I try to minimize on product use. Since the installation, he's had only one or two braids come undone. About a week ago he came over for a re-ti. I must say that his hair is progressing quite well. What do you think?Day 1

Move, Get Out The Way

For many years I've been trying to obtain a post-secondary degree. Due to changing my major a gazillion times, switching schools, incompleting courses & so on, I've been on this trek much longer than anticipated. If you're one who believes in astrology, my being a Gemini is partly the blame. According to my sign, I get bored very, very easily & am quite flighty, which describes me to a T. I find it very easy to get motivated but even easier to lose it. I am ambitious & set goals to attain them, but often fall short when I'm either close or don't see an end in sight. I am known to those close to me as the "wishy-washy" one. When I sit back & think about this, this isn't something I want to be remembered as when I pass on. This pegs me as indecisive, unsure, unreliable, fickle, just to name a few. In essence, being "wishy-washy," in my opinion, somewhat attacks my character. I consider myself to be a good-hearted person. I'm giving & love to share, especially when it empowers. Today, I'm making a conscious effort to combat flighty tendencies whenever necessary because it is no fun NOT being taken seriously. With all that being said, I realize that as much as I would like to blame unforseen circumstances, disabling obstacles, & my Zodiac sign for my setbacks the truth is, I've been standing in my own way. And now is the time for me to move out the way!!

Tis The Season To Be Nappy!!

Greetings Everyone.

A few months back I blogged about a book called Thank God I'm Natural. With the holidays just around the corner, I thought this would be a great stocking stuffer. I absolutely love, love, love this book. I refer to it for all sorts of things regarding napptural hair. Everyone should have this book as a resource guide.

Below is a message from the author herself.
