I took that training class that was held here in Atlanta on 12/1-12/4. I finally decided to take the class because I get tons of ladies asking me who does my hair. When I tell them I did/do my hair that is usually followed up with, “can you do my hair?” I usually refer them to the Sisterlock website or YouTube to find a local consultant, or ways to achieve that look themselves. Then I got to thinking that could have been a potential client. So looking at it in a business mind frame I choose to invest in becoming a consultant. Even if I only end up installing a handful of clients as least I have that knowledge and that can never be taken away from me. In a past post I have mentioned that I don’t want to do anyone else’s hair because I feel that it would not be appreciated plus I would be super careful not to do something to their hair I wouldn’t want done to mine. Well over a period of 5 days <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">approximately 36hrs </span>I installed braidlocks on a friend of mine. She asked me about me saying that I didn’t want to do anyone’s hair. After I explained it to her she mentioned to me that, more than likely people looking to have Sisterlocks/braidlocks etc will come into it with knowledge that it’s a HUGE time commitment and so won’t complain as much. With that being said it has given me a little bit more confidence to get out there and start to market myself. Im not fully ready to start installing locks on clients just yet because in the next few months I plan on moving and Im looking to have a house with a basement so that that area would be fully dedicated to me and the my future business venture. Here are a few before and after pictures.<br />

The reasons why I don’t want to color is its damaging it thins out my hair etc. Reasons why I continue to color is because the color complements my complexion.

I have not tried any new hairstyles (not that I did that many to begin with) I have changed in how often I wash my hair though. I now wash my hair every two weeks. No real reason Im just very busy and I tend to wash my hair on the weekend and my weekends have been very busy so I found myself being able to wash it every two weeks instead of once a week. I dont really see the need to wash my hair every week so every two weeks it is until something changes. Im not sure if I metioned this before but I never realize how much my hair has grown until I see picutures. Now Im really starting to notice how much it has grown. Most of the time I keep my hair up in a high pony tail because that how i put my hair up in the morning when I take a shower and I just never take it down. I love the fact that I can be so lazy with my hair but it still look so good. So when I do let my hair down I see and feel how much its laying on my neck and shoulders. So enough with the yacking here are the pictures of my hair that is 3 years and 3 months old.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-l3vMekROnREn5QH0hKgnAcRkPSuRAvkW5WdGglfoOg2T-o4VBU84Op5f_RLzQ4TCppNnz3ap4yJjt0bReWsyBpLYJJh27Rxqm9U2QcgsGUJp1RKbR216x2q8aKafzuGQiL1odV5ex0QK/s1600/IMG00495.jpg"></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmzsjqre82ADBV8XYkIc5sKRc5fy_vTzfqUH9MSI5RPjtx8c9pwRPhHNnxyQlA4pw7H-JtgWmRonT8LxxYPxaiDo8vKAsDPLf7gc4jZqMETsTC27aKGY7umNKtNrxrwWWLhdNuh4PRGhTz/s1600/IMG00493.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530144060881547490" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmzsjqre82ADBV8XYkIc5sKRc5fy_vTzfqUH9MSI5RPjtx8c9pwRPhHNnxyQlA4pw7H-JtgWmRonT8LxxYPxaiDo8vKAsDPLf7gc4jZqMETsTC27aKGY7umNKtNrxrwWWLhdNuh4PRGhTz/s320/IMG00493.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXAo7vaIirN-pDlPV9oL3Nks-0CSjj_41k9Rt_F0pJvyE8SMHbthUrAYb005GdZIVeq6uC3Vc72G8qxoQMDKyfkEC77EIj7jO5FtQWFQaufUyI20L77Lz0wpZSxfko_azZrV0MjA2klVR7/s1600/IMG00492.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530143622977183778" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXAo7vaIirN-pDlPV9oL3Nks-0CSjj_41k9Rt_F0pJvyE8SMHbthUrAYb005GdZIVeq6uC3Vc72G8qxoQMDKyfkEC77EIj7jO5FtQWFQaufUyI20L77Lz0wpZSxfko_azZrV0MjA2klVR7/s320/IMG00492.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-l3vMekROnREn5QH0hKgnAcRkPSuRAvkW5WdGglfoOg2T-o4VBU84Op5f_RLzQ4TCppNnz3ap4yJjt0bReWsyBpLYJJh27Rxqm9U2QcgsGUJp1RKbR216x2q8aKafzuGQiL1odV5ex0QK/s1600/IMG00495.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530144126866082818" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-l3vMekROnREn5QH0hKgnAcRkPSuRAvkW5WdGglfoOg2T-o4VBU84Op5f_RLzQ4TCppNnz3ap4yJjt0bReWsyBpLYJJh27Rxqm9U2QcgsGUJp1RKbR216x2q8aKafzuGQiL1odV5ex0QK/s320/IMG00495.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div></div>Saabirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263676462179657890noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410509281588813181.post-84763116200969172052010-06-24T11:13:00.003-04:002010-07-15T15:48:20.586-04:00Really?!<div>I have a coworker who is always telling me that she wants to go natural but she doesn’t know if she can.

Im thinking what kind of question is that? It took everything in me not to say something really ugly. I simply said as long as I want my hair to grow then asked her back, how long are you going to keep going let your damage hair grow out?

I started to notice that when Im sitting on the couch watching T.V. Im laying against it or when i put my purse on my shoulder my hair gets caughet under the strap. Also that that it sits on my shoulders and is getting in my way.<br /><br />Can you believe this I am actually complaning that my hair is getting in my way. I must say I am not use to longer hair at least not yet. WHAT?!<br /><br />I am not much into styles a) they take a long time to accomplish and due to my lifestyle the style last less than a week, b) it pulls on my hair giving me a headache, but I purchased some lock loops about a month ago and I have started using them and I must say that I was pleased with the outcome. I think the curls are very cute on me and the gets my hair off my shoulders with is a plus. What I will say over and over again. I love my hair.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL_8Vl67RRcWTQ6DkhhtREpuIpnCgSTYAH4yaVgJXekHXehujWM0xo7O_EhExBjRQqzgi_ZVxJcwB0ZaG2HZYP4-ATSRHtu4vUME_ixzTGb2bjfslherli6u_GDvBr7oHeivUYJx98A8b6/s1600/IMG00293-20100623-1002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485983557856118962" style="WIDTH: 320px;

It really made me think, and it made my heart break. I took my daughter to the Dr office to see about her allergies. When we were called to the back the nurse that weighed her, and took her temp etc took one look at her and told her how beautiful she was. Now that is pretty normal she gets that all the time. Then the nurse goes to say and "Oh my god and your hair is just so beautiful, see you got that good hair. I wish my daughter had good hair like you. Well she does right now because she is only 2 months old. Oh and your eyes I love them, my daughters eyes are brown, I was hoping that they would come out lighter but Oh well." My heart really started to hurt. I felt so bad for that little baby girl. She as only been in the world for two months and the brain washing has already begun not by the world but by the closest person in her little life. I know as she grows she is going to always want to have "good hair" and will do anything she has to in order to get that. I hate how as a society we constantly want to look like something someone other that the way god made us. We yearn to have straighter hair, lighter eyes, some of us even want lighter skin. Even as I type this my heart is breaking, and I want to cry. It makes me so angry mainly because I dont know how to change it. The desire to be other than what we are is so strong and so wide spread that it almost seem like it will never go away. I wish there way for more women and men to love themselves. TRULY love themselves. I want to so badly be able to tell all of these beautiful brown baby girls that you are beautiful just the way you are. You don't need straight hair for the the world to see and love you................ I don't know even know what to say my heart hurts so badly right now.</p>Saabirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263676462179657890noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410509281588813181.post-56706051833772461422010-03-30T12:14:00.008-04:002010-04-26T16:31:18.938-04:00Growth updateIt’s been about two weeks since I colored my hair and the color has calmed down a bit, still bring but not as orange.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2dD6HwKOtAZNzhea1CnbuHEtpXyd_tbg__GZGBethyhTzRdL7hsNFibUZtEqb7yZ1_xI9wTB3R8hbVPuQ6j_1zBDAIMiNM7mZKSWJXVx9eYJzkLNx5A6svnfPXsh8-sqkYQxBsG9aY66V/s1600/DSC01942.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454461893796454194" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2dD6HwKOtAZNzhea1CnbuHEtpXyd_tbg__GZGBethyhTzRdL7hsNFibUZtEqb7yZ1_xI9wTB3R8hbVPuQ6j_1zBDAIMiNM7mZKSWJXVx9eYJzkLNx5A6svnfPXsh8-sqkYQxBsG9aY66V/s320/DSC01942.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxMxLjAdUJbbATc3320JI6aaVve-T9ksYYYV6H5uUBOBxcyCAh6gsNC9uCXRyejg6F3BxeXrF85hzkSSGFZ6xakdfecROE8w4fpxI4ekBQi1EnGfWU5F0Jc3HlPuL-Yl-VAaLrNXp9Bxec/s1600/DSC01940.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454461752862254658" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxMxLjAdUJbbATc3320JI6aaVve-T9ksYYYV6H5uUBOBxcyCAh6gsNC9uCXRyejg6F3BxeXrF85hzkSSGFZ6xakdfecROE8w4fpxI4ekBQi1EnGfWU5F0Jc3HlPuL-Yl-VAaLrNXp9Bxec/s320/DSC01940.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1lRhiRtr6WaxwWnP8PIgO3GmQhUwAjMP8hnd2xxVIXEIlmSjvL-R3ydyzKEwSmzQ5LIyrpZMsDiKhtq81-QfSPPLXT6L2ZgD7SMeyurcH5_UltpvSVfvcZcdYbpgoDp7JwHTSnH8a3xDA/s1600/DSC01939.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454461630145648274" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1lRhiRtr6WaxwWnP8PIgO3GmQhUwAjMP8hnd2xxVIXEIlmSjvL-R3ydyzKEwSmzQ5LIyrpZMsDiKhtq81-QfSPPLXT6L2ZgD7SMeyurcH5_UltpvSVfvcZcdYbpgoDp7JwHTSnH8a3xDA/s320/DSC01939.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div></div>Saabirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263676462179657890noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410509281588813181.post-30805456187130298512010-03-17T11:58:00.000-04:002010-03-30T12:13:34.403-04:00Its Orange?!So even though I have gone back and forth on whether or not to color my hair I have decided that I WILL color my hair every six months. I lasted colored my hair in September so its March which mean it’s time to color my hair. I went to the local store to get two boxes of Dark and Lovely Honey Blonde color. To my surprise they were sold out. The only color that they had was Light Golden Blonde so I’m thinking sure why not it’s just a little bit lighter plus I don’t feel like going to another store so whatever. I get my two boxes checked out went home and colored my hair. So I have did nothing out of the ordinary I take my shower cap off to rinse the color out and I’m like WOW!! That is so much brighter than what I’m use to I wish I would have taken a picture of that it looked like.<br />The morning after I’m getting ready and my daughter comes into the my closet to let me know she has let the dogs out, brushed teeth, etc and is ready for me to do her hair. She walks out of my closet then comes back in and has a puzzled look on her face and says, “Mommy your hair is lighter brown!” I’m like yeah it is isn’t it. I’m trying to play along just to see how the conversation is going go. She is still looking at me with this puzzled look on her face and the she says, “it’s Orange!” At this point I couldn’t help but laugh, and say it is very bright. So I’m about to drop her off at school and the whole time while we are in the car she is staring at me and finally she asks me Mommy why would you color your hair orange. It’s orange. Then I have to tell her that yes it very bright and it didn’t come out quite the color that I wanted but it will be alright.<br />After I drop my daughter off at school I scoot on over to work. At first no one notices my hair and I’m not going to announce that I have colored my hair. The coworker that I’m closes to so much that we can pretty much tell each other like it is without worrying about someone getting offended. She was like whoa are you trying to look like me now?! I tell her the story of getting the color and not thinking that it wouldn’t be all that different. She was like so when are you doing to fix it. I told that I’m not color my hair again for another six months because it is very damaging, and I will just have to live with it. I had my camera handy this time and I had my coworker take some pictures of me hair. I must admit that my hair is rather orangey. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI2CQf031YMbjPrbLUUl3zVfA7AGTNYV60bhq5N4grupTkwrjyTsoX04z_9cf8iZUPOSymHJORzpQdBymQKHWLiB56XRGkjbUvpleH1znE-udUtNylXppLo_p_NLaTa3QwUsr1RuDyVflL/s1600/DSC01929.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454460137206450930" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI2CQf031YMbjPrbLUUl3zVfA7AGTNYV60bhq5N4grupTkwrjyTsoX04z_9cf8iZUPOSymHJORzpQdBymQKHWLiB56XRGkjbUvpleH1znE-udUtNylXppLo_p_NLaTa3QwUsr1RuDyVflL/s320/DSC01929.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn_UyiXhrC2K40U7R296bAYqhYwPgS1lvEJfj3CrlB0UajCHPHqmV06QG0s739lDsAm5GSjKf-iYD5afNhVYITDZsFp2a8w6r4jb5j3VSY-vtUuGfdD7pjHldvzEul9PrMTdm7rNr9srhH/s1600/DSC01927.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454459745744933410" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn_UyiXhrC2K40U7R296bAYqhYwPgS1lvEJfj3CrlB0UajCHPHqmV06QG0s739lDsAm5GSjKf-iYD5afNhVYITDZsFp2a8w6r4jb5j3VSY-vtUuGfdD7pjHldvzEul9PrMTdm7rNr9srhH/s320/DSC01927.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNlkaD8nxz1Jw1jmtIP6xRzzgH4ITV73kNFXsr8Jo3J_Lr7o05T6-o36vfMFfajyr7XOV9IIBTubt07829gPZC9nBJz3CxNw-yKuslUY7BTWJldHnUtg2N_11cYqxIwEV3wchqb4qXry1m/s1600/DSC01928.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454460008592053442" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNlkaD8nxz1Jw1jmtIP6xRzzgH4ITV73kNFXsr8Jo3J_Lr7o05T6-o36vfMFfajyr7XOV9IIBTubt07829gPZC9nBJz3CxNw-yKuslUY7BTWJldHnUtg2N_11cYqxIwEV3wchqb4qXry1m/s320/DSC01928.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0hvGR5l5sJTyriZ-DsLi_BKN0_N0Y6y9B_78oEHtRCV1a1uJbNQrv1VfjnHaRjSr-hGHoG3W7EOyvKZvo5kz0a7wSeIx08kYY8H0aqk4qiRoiDZdRYMTjJQIQ2qM_tkdnKmpjtU0KVtVj/s1600/DSC01924.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454459508153122450" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0hvGR5l5sJTyriZ-DsLi_BKN0_N0Y6y9B_78oEHtRCV1a1uJbNQrv1VfjnHaRjSr-hGHoG3W7EOyvKZvo5kz0a7wSeIx08kYY8H0aqk4qiRoiDZdRYMTjJQIQ2qM_tkdnKmpjtU0KVtVj/s320/DSC01924.JPG" border="0" /></a>Saabirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263676462179657890noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410509281588813181.post-58545474552863814732010-01-15T17:50:00.006-05:002010-01-15T19:15:54.676-05:00Just Checking inI just wanted to stop by and show a little progess.

On two occasions this weekend I was complimented on my Sisterlocks.<br /><br />Now in the past when this has happened I corrected them and said “Oh thank you but they are not Sisterlocks. They are braid locs that I did, and as they grew I just maintained them.” Then of course the next question would be “Oh for real, can you do my hair?” Then I would have to politely decline.<br /><br />Now you have to forgive me because I tend to go on a rant, and I might even ramble.<br /><br />I don’t like to do other peoples hair because there was a time that I did do hair when I was in middle and high school I would do box braids and micros, I like to take my time and make sure the parts are on point and make sure everything is perfect. I would not do anything to their hair that I wouldn’t want on mine. Well there were a few people (didn’t really know them) that would get attitudes that I would not be done with their hair in a certain amount of time and would say so while Im doing their hair. Sooo needless to say unless they are family I won’t even touch their hair, and sometimes doing families hair is a stretch.<br /><br />Back to what I was saying this weekend when I got the compliments on my “Sisterlocks” I didn’t bother to correct them and not because I wanted to pass them as Sisterlocks. I absolutely love the fact that people would even think that my work is Sisterlocks. I didn’t correct them because I just didn’t want to go through the whole thing of them asking me if I would do their hair. Yes I know that I can’t assume that every person that compliments my hair is going to ask me to do their but I would say 9 out of 10 if they are not locked, and they know of Sisterlocks, they are probably shopping around. I have talked to my friend about this and she just says why lie just tell them that they are not SL and you don’t do other people’s hair. One would think that its simple right? Well its not.

When I came across this very interesting blog by <a href="http://blog.franchesca.net/">Franchesca</a>. I have seen many of her YouTube videos and didn't know that she had a blog. Well anyway one of her blog entries was a hair style that I had seen on Lady Gaga in her Poker Face video. So after watching her <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc5I-H32PRM">Bow tutorial</a> I was a little disappointed only because my hair is not long enough to even attempt this style. So I thought that that would be it. Then my daughter Jada came downstairs to watch Spongebob then the light bulb went off in my head to do the hair style on her since her hair is long enough. So this is a quick attempt at trying to recreate the Lady Gaga Bow. All I used was a pony tail holder, and a small rubber band. Her hair is very soft and frizzy and I didn't use any product on it because it was close to her bed time and didn't want to put all that stuff in her hair when she was about to go to bed. Well any who this my sad attempt. Let me know what you think I will have to try this again but use product and make it look neater.</div><div> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrwNpr9mqPZpqdrgdqLZ3nv-dQd87IHLiaUYoZBhv7TUdj8H2fEelECSvH5zumRcue-SzJQ55UtS2ZcZlDSbj1ANPs2ioom0CFz70k1RvGjiN3fzpCNOQgVA0BL5nLY3MSKbEusViRJxl3/s1600-h/pokerfacebow.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367228298801112850" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrwNpr9mqPZpqdrgdqLZ3nv-dQd87IHLiaUYoZBhv7TUdj8H2fEelECSvH5zumRcue-SzJQ55UtS2ZcZlDSbj1ANPs2ioom0CFz70k1RvGjiN3fzpCNOQgVA0BL5nLY3MSKbEusViRJxl3/s320/pokerfacebow.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEWQDlo_JR-Pf7iAoPdKvUSpt6ukHGT4kl2Nea_7zUkTjLeacEbR412UkOm7q_v061k6CTXotnSdhJ_YMzMKLrR0cMUpBtbwhce2cyLZe8Mg2s0qac7Vtwgxos3qP6ee8MzJzZP3s09jzk/s1600-h/DSC00789.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367228845315711218" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEWQDlo_JR-Pf7iAoPdKvUSpt6ukHGT4kl2Nea_7zUkTjLeacEbR412UkOm7q_v061k6CTXotnSdhJ_YMzMKLrR0cMUpBtbwhce2cyLZe8Mg2s0qac7Vtwgxos3qP6ee8MzJzZP3s09jzk/s320/DSC00789.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div>Saabirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263676462179657890noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410509281588813181.post-9668286692185605902009-08-01T18:47:00.006-04:002009-08-01T19:25:22.696-04:00Chris Rock's "Good Hair" DocumentaryFor more information <a href="http://festival.sundance.org/2009/film_events/films/good_hair">"Good Hair" Sundance Festival</a><br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/A68UVn0nMvo&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/A68UVn0nMvo&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br />I cant wait till this comes on HBO.

I am addicted. I’m addicted to coloring my hair. I have cracked under pressure of wanting to do something different. I colored my hair on 4/16/09. I know I said that I wasn’t going to color my hair anymore because it is soooooo drying and make the ends of the lock bunch, and over time the color makes them weak and brittle. I NEED to do something different, and since I’m style challenged this is the next best thing that I can think of to do something different with my hair without going broke going to a salon to get a style that I will take out a week later. I even though about cutting it a little just to even out some, but I will resist that urge until my hair is long enough for me to cut it all the same length, or at least that’s what I’m saying now. A lot of people have suggested curling my hair, or the braid out, and so fourth. I personally don’t like my hair curled or crinkly, so those ideas are out.<br /><br /><br /><br />So what I have decided to do to curb the dryness that occurs when coloring the hair, I planned on using Pantene conditioner with the women of color. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS8WyRiNSsv7nLssAGxqZlMbkueBgG_EpUP8PiK-hQ5IUFZPG-4dHL3Hv-8FxXyL-V1eqyY1kx3NFcAcPjqM9QTtBwTjhN5hojLqOkNzTVVOKfDwHMHTf9rYzjrR-RqM7umvkrVXiNPo2y/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334942735907316898" style="WIDTH: 164px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 164px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS8WyRiNSsv7nLssAGxqZlMbkueBgG_EpUP8PiK-hQ5IUFZPG-4dHL3Hv-8FxXyL-V1eqyY1kx3NFcAcPjqM9QTtBwTjhN5hojLqOkNzTVVOKfDwHMHTf9rYzjrR-RqM7umvkrVXiNPo2y/s320/untitled.bmp" border="0" /></a>I use this on my kids hair and it works great.

I bought a bottle of it when I was at the hair show here in Atlanta. I works great my hair is soooo soft, and I can feel the moisture that it holds and its not sticky, greasy, or cakey. So for now I think its safe to say that I have found a product that I can use in my hair when ever I color it. Its not something I would use everyday though. Since I have given in to the temptation of coloring my hair. My question now is how often should I color it? I’m thinking every 6 months I think that’s a good amount of time to let the hair recoup before putting chemical in it again. Any suggestions?<br /><br /></div><div></div>Saabirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263676462179657890noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410509281588813181.post-22313820351032282142009-02-26T07:16:00.018-05:002010-02-24T20:17:22.304-05:00Picture updatesIn my last update I failed to show pictures of my hair growth from the beginning and now.

WOW!!! It seems like yesterday that I did my hair. I can remember being jealous of everyone who had their locs longer then I had (well I still am a little jealous), and remember thinking a year is forever.<br /><br />I’m still very much in love with my hair; I find that I’m not as into it like I was before. I long for the days that I can style it in something other than just letting it hang. I have tried the crinkle look (takes to long to achieve this look and it only last maybe a week if not a drop of water touches it), I don’t think the curly look is for me (based on the fact I have never tried it on my locs and it reminds me of when I was a little girl when I had a press and curl). I have thought about adding hair just for length but my girl friend was about to curse me out saying as much as I get on my soap box about staying true to the natural me, and thats the way God intended me to be and not needing anything fake to make me look beautiful. If I were to do that I would be a big fat hypocrite. So that made me say well yeah I do preach that all the time, but what about my right as a woman to change my mind like the wind. I think the fact that I feel stuck creatively my hair is not such a big deal to me any more. Any suggestions? <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYBTVPZeK87eGtrwS6PjuFMpD0lLmWRU1Y3fGRzt1gpHzuyBAFaWBzvI93ZtV7bkFJhg-A5qxW88tLZC05xTAcJQ8fiGlANbmxcdz5iRwwLc2RP94M4YSOe85zuy_-Uh88R24Jx5zqtcYQ/s1600-h/DSC03982.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306446058804788706" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYBTVPZeK87eGtrwS6PjuFMpD0lLmWRU1Y3fGRzt1gpHzuyBAFaWBzvI93ZtV7bkFJhg-A5qxW88tLZC05xTAcJQ8fiGlANbmxcdz5iRwwLc2RP94M4YSOe85zuy_-Uh88R24Jx5zqtcYQ/s320/DSC03982.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Another thing I would like to confess is that although I have said I will try and retighten my hair every 4 weeks....

Just typing that makes me cringe. One might ask why in the world do you have a patch that you have not done?<br />What had happen was…. I had not even retightened my hair until the end of Jan from the previous time in September. So when I got to that last little patch I was so tired of having to tighten an inch of new growth and since the patch was well hidden I didn’t feel the rush to do it.<br />In this picture its not real clear but I have my middle, ring, and pinky though the new growth which is 1 ¾ inches.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8ki3y2weHqYZAmT1vDWEf5SnvvkPV8wPGWbjZLAd4lgMMEfTrc_lj1oSbXridaYXWAxUdwYReSKKEoWuIpu9KxdSXlnC3x7AYXQYgmfJNtrk9l0hFKmKV_dbFERZGlDE9oU9UytFfnb2l/s1600-h/DSC03990.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306443987638535074" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8ki3y2weHqYZAmT1vDWEf5SnvvkPV8wPGWbjZLAd4lgMMEfTrc_lj1oSbXridaYXWAxUdwYReSKKEoWuIpu9KxdSXlnC3x7AYXQYgmfJNtrk9l0hFKmKV_dbFERZGlDE9oU9UytFfnb2l/s320/DSC03990.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfBbK4vGfW35Eb6kpnfgYow26-ynUv1yghbxQ7ZikD7wWAEoQu5ALGxwq0DekgRs26roP4d6zFQan63Wl-l6mFWqkG4VTJYzSa8Y1R1OP4g0K7yxpnUE8P-YniHcczS-IoNgZAcHP4F2Fe/s1600-h/DSC03994.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306444057094685762" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfBbK4vGfW35Eb6kpnfgYow26-ynUv1yghbxQ7ZikD7wWAEoQu5ALGxwq0DekgRs26roP4d6zFQan63Wl-l6mFWqkG4VTJYzSa8Y1R1OP4g0K7yxpnUE8P-YniHcczS-IoNgZAcHP4F2Fe/s320/DSC03994.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyLrC4FuPRolgwoH_cS4YFPuUWAjqT362O88jR7dAXxu2BQtSNIN2wIhTuif8QuOrH5-6iphvaCBLsDKiopVLPxJ_eBjQVgt6dHJUyoYoK7ocGeu9vjj_pL0qRmi_2iMujFT4YR5b5122S/s1600-h/DSC03997.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306444119497770258" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyLrC4FuPRolgwoH_cS4YFPuUWAjqT362O88jR7dAXxu2BQtSNIN2wIhTuif8QuOrH5-6iphvaCBLsDKiopVLPxJ_eBjQVgt6dHJUyoYoK7ocGeu9vjj_pL0qRmi_2iMujFT4YR5b5122S/s320/DSC03997.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Now that it's been about month since I last tighten my hair I will hopefully be able to attack those 36 straggling locs. </div>Saabirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263676462179657890noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410509281588813181.post-65421055265939713822008-10-22T12:40:00.002-04:002008-10-22T12:42:46.822-04:00Accessorize?Alright I needs some help here. I’m have been trying to figure out how to attach jewels to my locks. I don’t necessarily want to add them now I think I will wait a few more years but when I do how in the world to I make them stay? I want to say I remember someone saying that you sew the jewelry into your lock to ensure that it won’t slip out. Even still how do you sew it in? do you do it like a button where you just keep going through that same holds, do you knot the string? What if I want to change them? Is that even an option? I want to know if there any other ways before I settle on that one. I have been looking at a few items from a site (<a href="http://www.newbein.com/">New Bein'</a>) that I found and it has the exact jewelry I was looking for. I just want to make sure I know what I’m doing before I start.Saabirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263676462179657890noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410509281588813181.post-73480219794334167072008-09-08T07:53:00.016-04:002008-10-28T11:19:14.290-04:00Tagged Again<div>Here are the rules:<br /><ul><br /><li>Link to the person that tagged you.....

It was a pain in the @$$!!!!!! I hate moving….. but I LOVE my new house. I moved to a less crowded area, better school distinct, nicer neighborhood, property value is going up and not down. Any people familiar to the Atlanta area I moved from Snellville to Loganville (sounds country huh LOL?). Im away from the city but not to far from it where people have to pack a lunch to visit me. Its about 30min to Downtown Atlanta.<br /></li><br /><li><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKZu-18VKk3TLVxDsXfOm1BG4Y-utGcm6pTVmIp95JGDwCBhGnANGAcOjUvSrPEzmyzOnhh8e8V_gKKlEwGUVCTXjLUknDmdDl4GGd7ePr-zKVmyksTmEBlSVKL9cYthtbRJGC6ypdnCuY/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243712867357527122" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKZu-18VKk3TLVxDsXfOm1BG4Y-utGcm6pTVmIp95JGDwCBhGnANGAcOjUvSrPEzmyzOnhh8e8V_gKKlEwGUVCTXjLUknDmdDl4GGd7ePr-zKVmyksTmEBlSVKL9cYthtbRJGC6ypdnCuY/s320/images.jpg" border="0" /></a>I am a movie buff; I have seen just about every main stream, and some indie films you can think of.

I guess because I look at my hair every day I really can’t tell until I look at pictures of my self from different months. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqhV-DywMQQIhxyyLSb9T9inNt2WRTlWXRmgjG97yNjQ9_SHi4F-ISsAoC_AjWbo56pZc4Ht09UZIUwp6F1bA1NDjNWIz_XHcyFGyAPuMOr8Y6OL-7eAt5KdRKd8DWcHoIt7pzWac-hXXO/s1600-h/DSC02895.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226646653301424770" style="CURSOR: hand" height="207" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqhV-DywMQQIhxyyLSb9T9inNt2WRTlWXRmgjG97yNjQ9_SHi4F-ISsAoC_AjWbo56pZc4Ht09UZIUwp6F1bA1NDjNWIz_XHcyFGyAPuMOr8Y6OL-7eAt5KdRKd8DWcHoIt7pzWac-hXXO/s320/DSC02895.jpg" width="284" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZuWja1SkU6EuvxcorLMjy4MVCxEUZ8cx4ef-63IjGzH-Ra_rTdYNSbjA72Q1ydNlFtuS_0K7i4t7g0h-bRG08kp8CiZkycWwpulJtLr-dyIO3E8S2NdEVCftetXDIsWNNJTenoiMaGvsA/s1600-h/DSC01467.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226645633247716690" style="WIDTH: 263px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 206px" height="176" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZuWja1SkU6EuvxcorLMjy4MVCxEUZ8cx4ef-63IjGzH-Ra_rTdYNSbjA72Q1ydNlFtuS_0K7i4t7g0h-bRG08kp8CiZkycWwpulJtLr-dyIO3E8S2NdEVCftetXDIsWNNJTenoiMaGvsA/s320/DSC01467.jpg" width="260" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjMgSmsiBvg54ORzGtB89c2UHgEqESlJKXzBp84Vk6p78XRvaresat19oUoJptvCyf9Oz6kMTQ-jClU-kgIdn28R0Qbm8ErLul-AT-Wgn-kFBQ6xXCDZVQUjG8OqZ7swVcd008xZGjTuUO/s1600-h/DSC02892.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226646456649920818" style="WIDTH: 280px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 196px" height="229" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjMgSmsiBvg54ORzGtB89c2UHgEqESlJKXzBp84Vk6p78XRvaresat19oUoJptvCyf9Oz6kMTQ-jClU-kgIdn28R0Qbm8ErLul-AT-Wgn-kFBQ6xXCDZVQUjG8OqZ7swVcd008xZGjTuUO/s320/DSC02892.jpg" width="309" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR3L9ErR02lYEsplGU_ixqPuEPRERnouWiTClFwGnaA20R7UECWKGH_0o02qv5E8FOQT8mpvvT5k7dl_X46mF_rT9UhBhZhHVCPUaSELozM99kQRhmTdd7FqTIqDxTq4KezmPMZmxCLxeI/s1600-h/DSC01469.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226645673275714050" style="WIDTH: 279px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 198px" height="230" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR3L9ErR02lYEsplGU_ixqPuEPRERnouWiTClFwGnaA20R7UECWKGH_0o02qv5E8FOQT8mpvvT5k7dl_X46mF_rT9UhBhZhHVCPUaSELozM99kQRhmTdd7FqTIqDxTq4KezmPMZmxCLxeI/s320/DSC01469.jpg" width="309" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJZQGItTjqJUW9NFgJY0JJNyrjglEDmKcGzA36GjjFIGoZAlivT11IPmoEAEUnvdPKjjGZL1l-mwir2gsh10AX0O63wIHEXDtpQc0Qe4khN5SzSXhf4k0sm773KWnpfly8LrhU6CGmDaEp/s1600-h/DSC02891.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226646418147722674" style="WIDTH: 290px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 206px" height="228" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJZQGItTjqJUW9NFgJY0JJNyrjglEDmKcGzA36GjjFIGoZAlivT11IPmoEAEUnvdPKjjGZL1l-mwir2gsh10AX0O63wIHEXDtpQc0Qe4khN5SzSXhf4k0sm773KWnpfly8LrhU6CGmDaEp/s320/DSC02891.jpg" width="309" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAw4btEgEqV2hc0YwvSNzc_FyFAKMDSYy3aCteA-HVC-xNh53Bp9aqFBs3yfyPy4emzy8xRpSYk7kfw_rsFMLpVNZ42ExVhGbdAGjNe8_b3RhazlDzsuOgp94ncoheY8oR45c0czwqeyqt/s1600-h/DSC01470.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226645733462304434" style="WIDTH: 290px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 207px" height="229" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAw4btEgEqV2hc0YwvSNzc_FyFAKMDSYy3aCteA-HVC-xNh53Bp9aqFBs3yfyPy4emzy8xRpSYk7kfw_rsFMLpVNZ42ExVhGbdAGjNe8_b3RhazlDzsuOgp94ncoheY8oR45c0czwqeyqt/s320/DSC01470.jpg" width="309" border="0" /></a><br /><br />One of my co workers said that she thinks that my hair grows over night; I was actually shocked that she said that because she is still living the lye and I didn’t think that she of all people would even noticed. She also made the comment that she needs to find something to do with her hair because it was so damaged. I had to stop myself from getting on my “Happy to be Nappy” soap box because I have learned that if a person is not ready to let go of the lye no amount of preaching, examples or proof will stop them from slappin that crack on their hair every 6-8 weeks, but I digress back to my hair.<br /><br />Even though I have braidlocks when I still band my hair (from my SL days) or at least just band the very ends. I only do the ends because they are loose and with the constant rubbing and rinsing I don’t want them to come undone more than they already are. One thing that I have started using is aloe gel. I started using this when I was on vacation. I went to Pensacola for 2 weeks and even though I live in HOTlanta it is no comparison to Florida sun and heat. After only 2 days in FL my hair was just really really dry. Since day one I have only used water in my hair but that was not cutting it anymore. I remember someone saying that Aloe gel is great for added moisture. So with this in mind I went to Wal-Mart in hopes of finding aloe gel, and since I didn’t know where any health food stores where in Pensacola Wal-Mart was my only choose. As soon as I walk into Wal-Mart is see the Aloe gel and it’s in the sunscreen/sunblock section. I don’t know if this is the same stuff that everyone is talking about using but on the front it says 100% pure, so I get it just to see doesn’t hurt to try new things. Long story short I still use it till this day. I went to FL June 1st and it is still keeping my hair nice and soft. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO21ZMXdeKXD5_VaLYYeODXqNE-kz7O8Vm1pgCkV0Gz6c4Me5r4Eb24zy8gYl6CBl_WFeo1_qgZkG4pbnSFl3BBf-dXaeinncwhyphenhyphenjhXYR0mMK3DJe6VlSGIzhOvfiSR7VwcPjCWBWk1GCV/s1600-h/DSC02930.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228399468451990082" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO21ZMXdeKXD5_VaLYYeODXqNE-kz7O8Vm1pgCkV0Gz6c4Me5r4Eb24zy8gYl6CBl_WFeo1_qgZkG4pbnSFl3BBf-dXaeinncwhyphenhyphenjhXYR0mMK3DJe6VlSGIzhOvfiSR7VwcPjCWBWk1GCV/s320/DSC02930.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Things that I have noticed about my hair are that I can tell that some of my locks are really starting to lock.<br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVJI1ixCjXXtjdxs0lmiZZV4Lvmxu8deokXxgTGLLluiq7_3RNMbi57uXMu-AoYU3dfmlZHotQt9oEz_FNAmFBoY3mDocXuQAOx4sh8ohndvYWWMQ7R3i_A4e6gJVOtEWlggVs-410kLVE/s1600-h/DSC02897.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226649361777388562" style="WIDTH: 291px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" height="231" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVJI1ixCjXXtjdxs0lmiZZV4Lvmxu8deokXxgTGLLluiq7_3RNMbi57uXMu-AoYU3dfmlZHotQt9oEz_FNAmFBoY3mDocXuQAOx4sh8ohndvYWWMQ7R3i_A4e6gJVOtEWlggVs-410kLVE/s320/DSC02897.JPG" width="310" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLmeMwoHEFo5EbnAZ4ZR-yPC7ELTbsZQWwxEEIpLWgxuLzKVldcOxZNP1ctrGpe3qVW0JdP8klp7Y7X3DCLmz_5Ye7a2FxxFjFLbEloPwZNICl6JJxCmaKAyeYer9Lnq0bLwyOv6txM4C-/s1600-h/DSC02898.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226649441728527522" style="WIDTH: 288px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 204px" height="227" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLmeMwoHEFo5EbnAZ4ZR-yPC7ELTbsZQWwxEEIpLWgxuLzKVldcOxZNP1ctrGpe3qVW0JdP8klp7Y7X3DCLmz_5Ye7a2FxxFjFLbEloPwZNICl6JJxCmaKAyeYer9Lnq0bLwyOv6txM4C-/s320/DSC02898.JPG" width="307" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4XegenXFpDJDZs4LGqOkDTxtSdA0QLoxLLZ9lHPqI8imYvO8kjXT2WTHKb_krclfmOyQ_Kcd_I6qZcYi-t2MbptH0Tr3qOnZnFmDEAbS1qJ26CVmpZzaTmz05cZpWS2fYbpGwYwDJkjWB/s1600-h/DSC02901.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226649656346886354" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4XegenXFpDJDZs4LGqOkDTxtSdA0QLoxLLZ9lHPqI8imYvO8kjXT2WTHKb_krclfmOyQ_Kcd_I6qZcYi-t2MbptH0Tr3qOnZnFmDEAbS1qJ26CVmpZzaTmz05cZpWS2fYbpGwYwDJkjWB/s320/DSC02901.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />When ever I’m playin in my hair where I’m used to feeling my little curls at the ends but now I feel my curls turning into little balls. That’s make me so excited because that lets me know I am one step closing to being fully locked. Something else that I have noticed is when ever I finger comb my locks in the morning after I have sprayed some water, and aloe gel my hair sheds. It’s not a lot but enough for me to notice it, and sometimes the balls on the ends my locks fall off. I guess this is just another phase that my hair will go though. Also like most people the hair in the front is no closer to being locked than it was on day one. It makes me wonder if they will ever lock, but I don’t really stress about it because I know my hair is going to do what it wants to do when it wants to do it, and its best to just leave it alone.<br /><br />One of my accomplishments is the fact I can almost put my hair in a pony tail. Well right now it just an “ony tail”. I can only put it up with the front half of my hair, and still have a few stragglers that don’t want to go along with the crowd. What I can do though is put it in two little pony tails with the front half of my hair. With my two little pony tails I look like a little school girl. I actually wore my hair like this while I was on vacation. On the beach I wore a visor and the only way that I could wear it and it be comfortable was to put the top part of my hair up but since its not long enough for a full pony tail I have to put it into two.<br /><br />That’s about it for my 8 month milestone I don’t know of any other significant details that I have come across that I have not already spoke on. I will say this thought just in case it’s not already obvious. I LOVE MY HAIR and I would not trade it for any other type of hair in the world. It just amazes me that it took me this long to understand that my hair is one of a kind. We are the only race of people on the face of this earth that have the type of hair that we do and I wish more women, and men would realize that it’s a gift and not a curse or something they should be ashamed of.Saabirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263676462179657890noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410509281588813181.post-919237871369139432008-05-13T14:22:00.007-04:002008-12-12T17:16:18.150-05:00Patience is a virtueAlright I think I need a dose of just have some dang patience because the ends of my hair… still loose. They have not sealed up knotted up or done anything they are just there. I have a few things that could contribute to why they could still be loose, ie I just colored my hair, and washing my hair every week, I just would like to know from those who have braidlocs did your ends ever seal, and how long it take. Did you end up cutting the loose ends off? Did you put knots at the ends? Or do I just need to accept that this is apart of what my hair is going to do.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAjJM3hVm-8DORyvquVXp6MJHsYTzHyCcqI4CLaNEdLIvkoDFCw2MagRByylZ3Tc0v49ZohFk483gXfhAyPvA3GS6_TRzOdolAdUlh-hRZX4QQFYHiI2ev6NGmxckTh8k9si9yFghFvFrr/s1600-h/DSC02313.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199930704355130370" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAjJM3hVm-8DORyvquVXp6MJHsYTzHyCcqI4CLaNEdLIvkoDFCw2MagRByylZ3Tc0v49ZohFk483gXfhAyPvA3GS6_TRzOdolAdUlh-hRZX4QQFYHiI2ev6NGmxckTh8k9si9yFghFvFrr/s320/DSC02313.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-uY6QkBZJebhBvI6jgaUpQ7i9VsLA1-tmIyE0AvXZTz8tee0s_oyOIhI3h3lhJ2wyIu3iHL4jFgrG2Top-iGdJngA7aj0_bnOrt1Z85UCsqzW4k5DPjoRNWi0rcbtLD4rWuOO1KyX0YAQ/s1600-h/DSC02318.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199931125261925442" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-uY6QkBZJebhBvI6jgaUpQ7i9VsLA1-tmIyE0AvXZTz8tee0s_oyOIhI3h3lhJ2wyIu3iHL4jFgrG2Top-iGdJngA7aj0_bnOrt1Z85UCsqzW4k5DPjoRNWi0rcbtLD4rWuOO1KyX0YAQ/s320/DSC02318.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixLzijt6wW0_o2XGOorJYhuJQB9hm563vDiaoaCCYr9ts6chxBbv9tBoyoe0d_arlaxkQU57iZfev3usoAp0ay9zh8cnFhiUkcni3MiQHgRz-qgIlCE0FSPI31u3I5bt6VODLXDy_LCV81/s1600-h/DSC02317.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199931052247481394" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixLzijt6wW0_o2XGOorJYhuJQB9hm563vDiaoaCCYr9ts6chxBbv9tBoyoe0d_arlaxkQU57iZfev3usoAp0ay9zh8cnFhiUkcni3MiQHgRz-qgIlCE0FSPI31u3I5bt6VODLXDy_LCV81/s320/DSC02317.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPC6JLGnKGR1txdmCv5cn3jBPHnXnaeX9LRLF6fqeiswgaH00mhDuqsxOUO2uHzxgnuCO1VNX-eIhzAdBbCpFRm8KvZ0DPpha9BBL5gYzgn8Wu74dPanzHa3IdKliqDKByRVy0KEabI29B/s1600-h/DSC02316.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199930983528004642" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPC6JLGnKGR1txdmCv5cn3jBPHnXnaeX9LRLF6fqeiswgaH00mhDuqsxOUO2uHzxgnuCO1VNX-eIhzAdBbCpFRm8KvZ0DPpha9BBL5gYzgn8Wu74dPanzHa3IdKliqDKByRVy0KEabI29B/s320/DSC02316.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifizZQgSnwaKp_6Fm0Nb0jXH-12yu5XK7FJZIw-PdTmCb-gSOy69CB4Kur75MG60RcYIcq8iQ-fkfAZGlseC136y63GXB0pkDPtnJQcJnlnwMrVwsfIQvCxm24ZyyN2LppRlXsBUAUR1kj/s1600-h/DSC02314.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199930858973953042" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifizZQgSnwaKp_6Fm0Nb0jXH-12yu5XK7FJZIw-PdTmCb-gSOy69CB4Kur75MG60RcYIcq8iQ-fkfAZGlseC136y63GXB0pkDPtnJQcJnlnwMrVwsfIQvCxm24ZyyN2LppRlXsBUAUR1kj/s320/DSC02314.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div>Saabirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263676462179657890noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410509281588813181.post-55602476070684609482008-04-30T11:12:00.018-04:002008-12-12T17:16:21.154-05:00Fun with ColorFor a long time now I have wanted to color my hair the color it was before I started my lock journey. After reading blog after blog and chat forums everyone was saying to wait at least until your hair fully locks to prevent any slippage and the fact the hair my go straight that will also hinder the locking process. First I didn’t know how long my hair would take to fully lock, a year, two years, what ever that case might be I didn’t want to wait that long to color my hair. Being so new to the world of locks I was scared that if I colored my hair before time my locks would be messed up. I got my SL done in July so had I stayed on that path I would have been 9.5 months locked, but since I started over in November I am only 5 months locked. There are about 20 or so that are fully locked so again I didn’t know what to do.<br />Monday on my way to drop my daughter off at tap/ballet I looked in the rear view mirror was decided that I would color my hair and if it mess up SO WHAT!! It’s my hair and I can always do it over if I needed to that’s the beauty of being a DIYer. So after dropping Jada off I went to Kroger and bought two boxes of Dark and Lovely Golden Bronze color. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV5PW6nBoUvx0oVvHqEakKUNqDzKRSfBVNI0GrGgfRA_ij6rt51LRIfCWu58OMv9hMNk9q8LWK7TTCHLGNlnTM-L4klNYRDA4vV6wNeifG7qb7qUhRYbydkPXPR-yMfqzwTYSOMOrYsBa0/s1600-h/DSC02128.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195057049331277138" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV5PW6nBoUvx0oVvHqEakKUNqDzKRSfBVNI0GrGgfRA_ij6rt51LRIfCWu58OMv9hMNk9q8LWK7TTCHLGNlnTM-L4klNYRDA4vV6wNeifG7qb7qUhRYbydkPXPR-yMfqzwTYSOMOrYsBa0/s320/DSC02128.JPG" border="0" /></a>At the self check out I kept looking at the boxes asking my self if this is what I really wanted to do. Finally I just paid for the boxes and left before I changed my mind for the 100th time. After picking Jada up from class 7:15 then picking up my son (Sean) from my moms house 7:25, then going home making some thing to eat, giving them baths, and ready for bed it was nearing 8:45 which is close to my bed time 9:00-9:30. I knew it would take a long time to twist and band my hair, put the color in, let it sit, wash it out let my hair dry all before I went to bed. So I said I would do it tomorrow.<br /><br />Tuesday I pick Jada up from School, then pick Sean up from my moms house and Im at home by 5:30 more than enough time to get everything done, and I didn’t have to cook. My grandmother, who lives with my mom, and watches Sean while I’m at work, made my kids dinner. I started doing everything else besides start doing my hair, cleaned the cat litter box out, played a game on the computer, watched a show on TV then I just stopped what I was doing and told myself I wanted to do this so I need to stop playing around and making excuses. I started twisting my hair, and banding it. I didn’t want to twist tight so the color could saturate the natural color of my hair. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1xPTolUsp9r67DT-D8N1kruXV7ltfMN4nPGUHgILyzDV7uPITxXnzLFPuC0ffzl9fGoxDXoaS-EULVNLuVHX35EEaN1gzpsOD5hgfNIraJdDwAznqpfmlAew60RiqfWhV1gmC5jVghXnw/s1600-h/DSC02115.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195057680691469666" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1xPTolUsp9r67DT-D8N1kruXV7ltfMN4nPGUHgILyzDV7uPITxXnzLFPuC0ffzl9fGoxDXoaS-EULVNLuVHX35EEaN1gzpsOD5hgfNIraJdDwAznqpfmlAew60RiqfWhV1gmC5jVghXnw/s320/DSC02115.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqti_PM6jZ57wba83FKaPs3y1fu4OOgyKfoFr85o0RL_Uf31vEPcmB-fYkvZlxgRsyNs4Yi_VwCl2NK9nbftSOeYwoWZWIiVpG9kzOOb7PY-hHkOWZhSi59b3KqoLVG_B4zzNJ6MVfZa7e/s1600-h/DSC02125.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195083575049297314" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqti_PM6jZ57wba83FKaPs3y1fu4OOgyKfoFr85o0RL_Uf31vEPcmB-fYkvZlxgRsyNs4Yi_VwCl2NK9nbftSOeYwoWZWIiVpG9kzOOb7PY-hHkOWZhSi59b3KqoLVG_B4zzNJ6MVfZa7e/s320/DSC02125.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGkgTirdyMTvAvylnOaqQ75svfZ8LKk8QSt8uOEHsVhzQM_qUK_2h151vVGAO1FN9ATa7nJzQHeQuAN7mQn0HlmOP2CLty9K7Gdx3sZXyyntWUnngQ54jdbGwq3bfDI46vo3zdKBTZ4n5q/s1600-h/DSC02122.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195057788065652082" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGkgTirdyMTvAvylnOaqQ75svfZ8LKk8QSt8uOEHsVhzQM_qUK_2h151vVGAO1FN9ATa7nJzQHeQuAN7mQn0HlmOP2CLty9K7Gdx3sZXyyntWUnngQ54jdbGwq3bfDI46vo3zdKBTZ4n5q/s320/DSC02122.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdEcCXpV3Lcpn_AORZLUPqlPX14-OrBxc7v4yEGfbiigsUQxj_Tdp3KfcvWVm8vNJdHx2N_01i9S1qB1QIBgumabn_LBOMI0YR_g1PAPaMnzCW-WKp8f-EFPk0tDIj-RKufONJWqxFtZqv/s1600-h/DSC02123.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195083437610343810" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdEcCXpV3Lcpn_AORZLUPqlPX14-OrBxc7v4yEGfbiigsUQxj_Tdp3KfcvWVm8vNJdHx2N_01i9S1qB1QIBgumabn_LBOMI0YR_g1PAPaMnzCW-WKp8f-EFPk0tDIj-RKufONJWqxFtZqv/s320/DSC02123.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjN67NzmWELV0ojBlz-rRo6xb16bnd7EZI3PRtvg6_7TUQXySbo2XMWikApof_43jXoKau9_hMro76JjpUwFG-Lgp91Yxx1bJYirMTe_Fdw_FFGVnjApZjYzPUXdmD3r-I3OWaHQxtx85K/s1600-h/DSC02124.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195083514919755154" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjN67NzmWELV0ojBlz-rRo6xb16bnd7EZI3PRtvg6_7TUQXySbo2XMWikApof_43jXoKau9_hMro76JjpUwFG-Lgp91Yxx1bJYirMTe_Fdw_FFGVnjApZjYzPUXdmD3r-I3OWaHQxtx85K/s320/DSC02124.JPG" border="0" /></a>Mixed both boxes of color then before I could think about it I just globbed it on, and hoped for the best. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmVqN9HLlFHl8dSwia9zEB1pROWVSgLa4m_EfeFCnJ8lQ_KzG099ssgGg-rlvQVCfEUxXCATNLQYKi1dDb8axAurhq1ku76lxeek1nfVb1joYAYnc9V1YFLtSOQ9DzQXEhQzXu7sCooERL/s1600-h/DSC02127.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195083656653675954" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmVqN9HLlFHl8dSwia9zEB1pROWVSgLa4m_EfeFCnJ8lQ_KzG099ssgGg-rlvQVCfEUxXCATNLQYKi1dDb8axAurhq1ku76lxeek1nfVb1joYAYnc9V1YFLtSOQ9DzQXEhQzXu7sCooERL/s320/DSC02127.JPG" border="0" /></a> I was just so tired of changing my mind and thinking the worst was going to happen. I had to do the same thing when I cut my hair. I kept going back and forth with the idea. So after I waited for about 45 mins (although the box says 30 mins) I took my shower cap off and looked at what had changed already. I could see that my roots defiantly took the color well the rest I could not really tell.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNEWTRmfBwDcAdgo-6hf9Vr6m-8nfG51pFh2aU_b8C7ytyVWEMy1nvy5r6LZa2iJObJspeT0xbaOqr6-AdbWKZ1bqoMxNHXzhsFVdKWkrzVoePVwA33NeW0ycBx9ZvbppxgKBQ2BCyXdCu/s1600-h/DSC02130.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195083729668120002" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNEWTRmfBwDcAdgo-6hf9Vr6m-8nfG51pFh2aU_b8C7ytyVWEMy1nvy5r6LZa2iJObJspeT0xbaOqr6-AdbWKZ1bqoMxNHXzhsFVdKWkrzVoePVwA33NeW0ycBx9ZvbppxgKBQ2BCyXdCu/s320/DSC02130.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtfboIxrxOpHgQbUfIodqYJ-9WiWxblfIcyM1nA19djfa04iWaRgZZFLX_ydicjDNCCzsrMbDUkGn8RHmj0O1qrYH9WkRyqKmrIJpai6wOLbFk5ujzPA7K72yKpMYrbU81m1vhpZx_vJxv/s1600-h/DSC02131.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195083794092629458" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtfboIxrxOpHgQbUfIodqYJ-9WiWxblfIcyM1nA19djfa04iWaRgZZFLX_ydicjDNCCzsrMbDUkGn8RHmj0O1qrYH9WkRyqKmrIJpai6wOLbFk5ujzPA7K72yKpMYrbU81m1vhpZx_vJxv/s320/DSC02131.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiojy6Yw3BmctSH-WcApcTe4TklxTwtfIUqkjeWdKKNqpWHYrUjTpwXLAyvc2uoytZvwTFW1k_pq0nifdNlGo4it0ozGSyoaJT3Aa4H-VvTRqCQzffcYCfyxd1ihTbo4yqQSZ8wrsEA5tQg/s1600-h/DSC02132.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195083867107073506" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiojy6Yw3BmctSH-WcApcTe4TklxTwtfIUqkjeWdKKNqpWHYrUjTpwXLAyvc2uoytZvwTFW1k_pq0nifdNlGo4it0ozGSyoaJT3Aa4H-VvTRqCQzffcYCfyxd1ihTbo4yqQSZ8wrsEA5tQg/s320/DSC02132.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsxrZPDhwryvwR6k3T2BO7CGdLJKTbqHITNBpUpQb1Yh0t5TAhr27YbllF9PK73OgQ7MEebXc66yt07HD2FWdTYQPzQ6EhPp-E27OU2vmN9P2ZJTzziPh0WeL7MZtofMTRj3_ZRBBHiAp1/s1600-h/DSC02133.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195083957301386738" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsxrZPDhwryvwR6k3T2BO7CGdLJKTbqHITNBpUpQb1Yh0t5TAhr27YbllF9PK73OgQ7MEebXc66yt07HD2FWdTYQPzQ6EhPp-E27OU2vmN9P2ZJTzziPh0WeL7MZtofMTRj3_ZRBBHiAp1/s320/DSC02133.JPG" border="0" /></a> After I washed all the color out and washed it again about 3 times after that with my own shampoo I looked in the mirror and really couldn’t see any change. Yeah it was lighter just a smidge but nothing really popping out at you. I knew it would not come out the color on the box because of the color I started with but I wanted something just a lighter. Oh well Ill just try again at another time. I let my hair dry wrapped it up and went to bed.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTnGO_2LvOKlfChdcxhdjUHUQlWRlqJjcdT-5lvf3h58jyUKXYyEz6xNdvdDNQPy6oBbNhz7Nyt8LXoHESUTpawfLxCVtBWMsgRJn6ujzvue9_zNFxtpBA3l2HmccKK65vUe0rkFW5Ti0F/s1600-h/DSC02135.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195084202114522626" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTnGO_2LvOKlfChdcxhdjUHUQlWRlqJjcdT-5lvf3h58jyUKXYyEz6xNdvdDNQPy6oBbNhz7Nyt8LXoHESUTpawfLxCVtBWMsgRJn6ujzvue9_zNFxtpBA3l2HmccKK65vUe0rkFW5Ti0F/s320/DSC02135.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8QBkyUUSGw3QjXmTECHtLkWCZ6YLgIDb4KBZuKqEm7JkBKyScugBp7lxBQBJtt1MJR4xcFuEmuUBLCE1BBYjhZi6vGqe2DEj32fTwKNFarJNokVBpLpGAPqoW1QrjHSpj8r9Y0P9pp0Hj/s1600-h/DSC02138.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195084498467266098" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8QBkyUUSGw3QjXmTECHtLkWCZ6YLgIDb4KBZuKqEm7JkBKyScugBp7lxBQBJtt1MJR4xcFuEmuUBLCE1BBYjhZi6vGqe2DEj32fTwKNFarJNokVBpLpGAPqoW1QrjHSpj8r9Y0P9pp0Hj/s320/DSC02138.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Well when i woke up this morning took my scarf off I could see the color.
