So let’s see… i started fasting again and i had my Sisterlocks consult today. She said i had perfect hair for locking she was so excited lol.. she did a “Tom Cruise” she jumped on her couch and started “attacking” my head with test locks LOL :) She said she was so excited to be getting a chance to do m y hair and how it would be a treat she says she’s pretty sure she’s gonna do 3 pattern in my hair. LOL pattern 3 must be for the really nappy hair LOL… i dunno for sure though… LOL!

Anyways she said I had about 5 inches of hair… LOL… its super not much hair when she started locking…My hair shrinks and draws right up…

So the reason i started fasting was because I knew this was going to be as much a spiritual journey as well as a hair journey. So i basically wanted to get into the right frame of mind and detox my body and mind… the acne on my face is crazy right now, and I can’t seem to shake it. I hope to continue on this fast til my install is completed, and hope something great will come of it.

Well two days ago I was taking down my braids and i had a short “moment” because I was like was this is the last time I do this EVER! It was kinda like graduating from high school, like the whole future was so new, so uncertain, so bound to be a journey. I dunno it was kinda short lived as my hands grew weary of taking down all the braids, which i WILL NOT miss! My aunt already thing she’s going to get sister locks.  I believe they will look great! I am just anxious because I just have like 5-6 in my head so i have no idea how the finished project is gonna look. It may take some time to get used to the new me. I’m not scared, but like in the words of our former President George W Bush, “I am cautiously optimistic…”

I know you weren’t expecting a quote like that… below are my test locks

take care,

Amost Time

So here I am. Next week is my consultation. Ironically, as soon as i take my braids down. The week between getting my sister locks and my consult when my hair will be an utter mess and I may be forced to wear a wig. I am being film interviewed with my cousin/business partner for our shirt line we are starting and they want to interview us ASAP… and I’m like grrrrrrr are you serious… it’s a wonderful opportunity but i am in a tizzy about my hair… I would tell them to do it now, while it’s still braided… but i can’t get all the elements for the video shoot together in time. I want to ask them can we do it later in the month because I will be ready…. but they want to feature us for October and that will be too late… I really don’t want to wear the wig but I’ll wear it… I just hope I don’t look wiggy… LMAO…. I would blow my fro out (still an option) but you know how you can’t do anything to your hair until after ward well i gotta see if i can do it nicely after that. Maybe put a colorful scarf  as a bandanna or something. LOL… SOMETHING!

I do have a little anxiety about my SL It’s kinda starting to go away, but not really. I have to admit it, i’m getting a little “scared” (is that the right word? not quite, but close) i have seen lots of people with sort SLs  (on the blogs/galleries) and they look absolutely amazing and beautiful. I just hope that will be me too. I think so, but I surely have to RELEARN how to care for my hair, and how to take care of it. I usually have dry scalp, but i think i know how to avoid that. I hope I know how to avoid it. I just need to see what I’m working with here. I know it’ll be all good in 6 months…. because ‘ll be used to it.. it’ll prolly be good sooner than that because I’ll know how to style it… etc. At any rate my next update will be prolly after the consult with some pics of my test locks
