Sisterlocks Detroit Homecoming

The Midwest Extravaganza took place 8/13 at Cobo Hall in Detroit. It was also my birthday and I have to say, that was an awesome way to spend the day! Picture a huge room full of women with beautiful natural hair, fabulous vendors, and no drama. Love it. Much love to the women who let me take pictures of their hair, because I pretty much spent the whole time stalking people lol

Love the skyline in the back, and yes her hair is that beautiful in person!!

These women were SO nice and they gave me awesome advice.  Check out the length on the end!!

Dr. Cornwell and me!  She was super sweet and funny!

Beautiful sisterlocks!!

I covet her color!!!

I loved her style so she let me take a pic so I could try to duplicate it when I get my locks!

Medium and large sisterlocks.  So Pretty!!

The woman in the blue shirt has my ideal length.  That's my goal!!

This woman had traditional locks, but her style was so fabulous I had I get her picture!!

Her curls were really pretty and she had on some of the baddest earrings I've seen in a minute.

Her color was ON POINT!!  Like seriously ♥♥♥♥ It was so beautifully saturated!

She was freaking adorable and her bun was too cute.  This is another style I hope to duplicate.

My fabulous cousin in the parking garage.  She's natural and her hair is always fly!!

In the parking garage ready to leave... Notice the shirt?  lol  Happy birthday to me!!

















Dr. Cornwell also got her hair trimmed at the event. I taped it... I might post it eventually, but I have to figure out how to edit it first. We shall see. Hope you enjoyed the pictures, if you happen to be in one and would like to be credited or have it removed, just let me know.

Until the next time, keep it nappy!!

My Lil Sample Babies!!

So on Saturday, I went to my consultant (who is also my cousin) to get my test locks put in. She decided to put in 2 locks just above and behind my left ear. Now, I knew my hair had some length to it, but I have SERIOUS shrinkage and I haven't blown my hair out since January, so I only had a vague impression of how long it is.

WHOA BABY!! It's between 8.5 and 9 inches all the way through. Now to you, that might not seem like a lot... but for me? That's at least 2 inches longer than my hair ever reached while relaxed, and it only took me almost 2 years to get it. *snoopy dance*

We've decided that my SL will be installed from Sept. 18-23, depending on how long it takes. She's estimated about 30 hours, but I have a lot of hair so we'll see. I'm actually taking that week off from work because:

1. I need a dang vacation.

2. She works morning and I work afternoons. For the deal she is giving me, if she'd have told me to be at her house at 3am with a chicken foot in my right hand, I would LOL

I probably won't post again until my 2 year Nappiversary, which is August 18th. So I'll leave you with a couple of pics of my sample babies.

I know they are going to shrink up and everything... but this picture right here is a triumphant moment for me. *tear*

Here they are dangling out of my puff, happy as you please lol.

Keep it nappy y'all!!
