Hi all,
I've been MIA trying to figure out who was going to do my locks... then the bottom dropped out. My truck broke down and fixing her is going to take all of my sisterlock savings. I'm trying not to be sad because it's much more important that my truck run so I can get to work and everything, but still... I have that disappointed feeling you only have when you were this close to getting what you really wanted. So I have to start saving for them over... and in the mean time my hair will be getting longer, so I really don't see myself getting them done before November at this rate. :(
Okay that's all the time I have given myself to be sad. Because in the mean time, the in between time... I'm gonna continue to blog about my hair. I've finally mastered a few hairstyles so I will be using my blog to show you what I'm doing and hopefully how I did it. I hope you stick with me, but if not blessed be.
Keep it nappy y'all!!

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!!

Who I am
Let me tell you a little bit of my hair story. I got my last perm in March of 2009. On April 18, 2009, I dyed my hair blonde. I have no real excuse except I wanted to see how it would look. And I hated it! So I decided to grow it out and start over. My scalp has always been kind of sensitive and I just got tired of having scabs on my head from the chemicals. And for what? So I could look like everyone else? I'm good with what God gave me.
So I transitioned for a few months, but got tired of trying to deal with the 2 textures so on August 18, 2009 I had my big chop. I've been letting my hair grow out for the almost 2 years since that time and have realized that the longer my hair becomes, the less I feel like dealing with detangling it. I have extremely coily 7-8 inch hair strands that wrap around each other if you even look at them. Not to mention, I'm not very adept at styling my hair, which drives me crazy because when I was younger I had braids, and I kept a cute style. Now I can't seem to deal with fighting the coils long enough to get it styled.
It is with all of these factors... and a TON of research, that I have decided to get sisterlocks. My tester locks will be installed on Saturday and I'm so excited, I can barely stand it. I have literally spent HOURS on other blogs picture-stalking and soaking up all in information I can. I dyed my hair a burgundy color that I am in love with because I wanted some color and I know once my hair is locked, I won't be able to do anything to it until it settles. Thanks to the great people of Nappturality and the Yahoo LockItUp group, I learned that I could do it now with no problem, so I'm now a sassy redhead. :)
There is actually a Sisterlock convention here in my town on my birthday, August 13th (LEO!! lol) so I took that as a sign. Plus it will also give me ample opportunity to look at plenty of gorgeous heads of hair before my installation.
That's all for now, I'll be back after my tester locks are put in. In the mean time, the in between time... Keep it nappy!
