Still here... still Loc'd

Hey y'all!!


Yeah, I'm going to act like it hasn't been months since my last post. :)


My hair is still doing good, definitely getting longer. At this point, I usually wear it down all day, either straight or wavy from a braidout, and then as soon as I get home, I pull it up in a bun or ponytail.  Leaning on your hair on the couch hurts like hell lol


I recently retwisted for the first time since my last post... and honestly that was only because it was looking so wild and I had somewhere to go. lol People ask me if I'm a "semi-free former." I am not... I'm just lazy with maintenance and the longer I have my locs, the less I care if they're looking perfect every day.  

I loc'd my hair to be free of worrying about that so I'm glad that I'm not still carrying it with me. I still like them to look nice, but honestly, I really only start thinking it's time to do something when I realize I've been wearing a headband for a week straight.


Here's some pics of how I've been wearing it.

*flips locs* Deuces!!

Beat the Heat Bun

Dress It Up!!

I LOVE ACCESSORIES!!!

I mean we have always had a nice little friendship going on.  When I was loose, I was really into them when it was shorter and then when it got longer I sort of stopped sparkling it up.  I really don't have a reason why, I just got lazy I guess or too irritated with detangling to really want to do much else by the time it was finished.  I'm saying detangling wasn't horrible, but as I previously mentioned... I was lazy lol

So now I have all of this extra time and energy to devote to styling my hair instead of doing my hair.  I'm saying with my loose hair, before work I would have to at least spritz my hair, fluff it, and touch it up in several places.  That would take usually 15 - 18 minutes. If I did a full fledged wash and go, it would probably be about 22-26 minutes.  (Which contained so much wash and so little go!) .

Now I either spray it with a water bottle or rinse it in the shower, then immediately spend time styling. 2-6 minutes tops.  I feel sparkly again. :)

So let me show you how I've been decorating.

First I broke out some lock jewelry.  I bought them before I ever locked my hair and when I wore one on my installation day, I had to pull 3 braids through it to get it to stay on.  Now I only use one lock.  I've worn this as pictured and also dangling from the end of a ponytail I bought this on Etsy from MsLadyLocks.

I also have this cute feather headband! It's from Forever21. They have a bunch of really cute hair accessories ranging for $1 to about $10.  I bought 7 different things, and my bill was less that $25 with shipping and handling.

Now I've got this coil from Cherry! I actually got several different ones in gorgeous bright colors that I love, so be on the lookout for other colors/styles.  I got a bunch of compliments on it today when I ran to the store. (LOL I got it today and had to use it immediately!) BTW: I always like purchasing things from nice people, and Cherry was such a delight to purchase from.  Check out her website, I'll definitely be going back to it.










My 5 month anniversary is in 5 days (Whoop whoop!!) so I'll be back next weekend with an update.  I've also been working on a style post.  On top of that, I got a new moisturizer today that I'll be trying out, so I'll have a post about that coming up soon as well.

Keep it nappy y'all!!
