I was hot this morning, but tired of the elastic headbands I've been wearing, so I tied my hair back with a small scarf.
My hair is still a frizzy hot mess, but on the plus side, I get to see April in a couple weeks! Hooray! I wonder what she'll say of this crazy hair....
I haven't had much luck finding blogs from other mixed race people documenting their journey to locdom, so I figured I'd put myself out there for anyone else's benefit. It's also a forum for opinions on what's happening on (and sometimes in) my head. Keep up with my journey- my hair and my life. There will be random musings as well, as things inspire me.
what it's all about

- I am on a journey -like you, I'm sure. A personal journey, a spiritual journey. A journey about passions, growth, and living. I don't have a good memory, but I value my experiences. It's very strange when you realize that you are being shaped constantly, but ultimately only remember some of the reasons why you are the person you're becoming. I find that when things resonate within me, writing about them helps me to better develop my opinions about them, and to remember them. Sometimes, it's the simple act of looking back and reminding myself where I've been that is all I need to move forward with confidence. That's why I write. Thank you for joining me.

Just a Sunday
Here is my everyday look. No retwist, fuzzy as can be, and totally OK with it. :)
I promise you, there are locs in there somewhere.... Mostly in the back and closer to the roots.
I'm off to a Superbowl party. Tell me the truth- would you go out with your hair looking like this? I bet my neighbors will give me the side eye all night long. lol. Oh well.

Hi!
Wow, I have been neglecting this blog, and I am sorry! My hair doesn't really seem to be doing too much...(except confusing and frustrating me!)... so I have had n need to post. No real updates here. :(
I have lots of pictures for you to show you how my hair has progressed since I saw April in November of last year. It is definitely growing, and I can feel it locking up. It still looks like a frizzy, curly mess to me, but i think it always will have some frizz. I know a lot of it is because the ends aren't sealing and are still curly. But I don't mind it, and believe it or not, I still get complements on my hair all the time.
So, as you can see, though it is growing, my hair doesn't look that different. If you could touch it, though, you'd see that the newer sections of hair are in fact locking, thought they are still frizzy. I'm gonna stick with it though. I have only retwisted maybe twice this year... maybe. But I do interlock the new growth periodically. I think because my hair is so soft, I will have to keep doing that as it grows... I might retwist in the next week or so, and I'll be sure to post pictures if I do!
