THIS IS IT

So, I started this natural hair journey almost 20 months ago Dec 2008. The whole purpose of the journey was to get locks. That time has finally come. It actually came a little random, I was actually going to the hair salon to get it pressed. (My mom #2 is a hair stylist) As she conditioned it, and was plating it so I could sit under the dryer she said "Your hair would lock up good" Next thing I knew she did two twist. I looked in the mirror and I liked what I saw. So I said to myself, Okay, THIS IS IT.

She twisted it, and I liked how it turned out. I must admit I had some reservations about it the next day. I loved how the twists looked themselves, but I did not really like how it looked on me. Another day passed, and I styled it slightly different and realized that it was growing on me. I even took my license picture with the twists (25 on Aug 31st!! lol) My hair is extremely soft, which is so weird b/c just days ago I had an untamable Afro, but she did use that Silk Milk (setting lotion) which seems to do wonders for my hair.

We will see where this leads me. Will I keep them? Will I take them out? Now that I am about to reach my goal will I go back to a relaxer? Questions Question Questions......More details to come

    They look cute. The color looks good twisted up like that. You could opt for a different technique. There is a technique that locks hair by using added hair. My sister did her locks this way. I think this makes the transition more permanent in the beginning stages and adds length instantly without having to wait for hair to grow.
