Summer Fun

Hello Fellow Bloggers!! It has been a while since I have posted anything here.  I guess nothing really interesting has been going on with my hair.  It has been growing longer. I continue to have a love-hate relationship with my grey hairs, which are mostly at the front around my hairline.  Colouring them is an uphill battle, and the process really dries out my hair.

I think you can see in this picture of my freshly washed hair, that my hair has different colours.  My natural hair colour is a medium brown, but the ends of my locks look light brown.  I'm not sure why this is.  It is certainly not due to my colouring it, as I have always used dark brown dye in an attempt to cover my greys.

By the way, my daughter got her sisterlocks installed in April.  She is loving them, and she is loving the ease with which she can now care for her hair herself.  I don't have a good picture of her hair, but she never lets it out, and completely enjoys her little pony puff hairstyle.
Until next time.  Walk good.

2nd Generation of Locks

I can't believe that we are at the end of February already. This first quarter is blowing by very fast it seems to me. There's nothing new or exciting with my hair. It continues to grow and do its thing. I have two concerns at the moment. One is lint. This lint thing drives me crazy and I spend a fair amount of time every week trying to pick the lint out of my hair. Whether I cover my hair or not, lint gets trapped in my hair. The second concern is the ends of my locks have changed to a light brown colour, and I think it looks a bit odd. I don't really want to colour my hair again, as the treatment is much too harsh for my hair.

My older daughter (she is almost 14) told me the other day that she is ready to get her Sisterlocks installed. I was rather pleased about this, because several of her friends have recently had their hair relaxed. And they do look very nice. I was hoping and praying that my kid would not want to get a relaxer too. Well it seems that all the time spent expounding the benefits of working with our natural hair has paid off.  She got her test locks put in last week. In another week or so she will get her locks installed. I hope she will love her locks as much as I love mine.

Now my younger daughter who is just 11, is also begging to get locks installed. I think I prefer (and so does my pocket) that she waits until she is a little bit older.
