ONE YEAR!

No it's not my hair lockversary, again. But rather it's been a year since I took doing my hair into my own hands. If you have been following my blog from the beginning you would know why I took this challenge. A challenge it was, but overall it was well worth it. Nothing feels greater than being able to do your own hair, and when someone ask's who does your hair, you reply by saying "me". Then they have that surprised look on their face and start to ask you a million questions, lol.

This is a pick of my hair when I wash my hair with the Knotty Boy Shampoo Bar. I think it is a great shampoo bar and it lasts forever! I bought my bar almost a year ago and I just finished it last month. (Although I didn't use the bar to shampoo my hair everytime I washed, it still lasted a long time!)


When I first started doing my hair it would take me forever (meaning a couple of days to do my hair) Now it only takes me one, only when I'm pushing for that goal. However due to the fact that I have 2 small kids to look after it has been hard. I still don't know how many hours it ususally takes me. My hair is due for a retightening maybe this time around I will time myself. I will admit at times I do miss someone being able to retighten my hair in less time, but I don't miss all the headache I had. I wonder if I seeked another consultant to retighten my locks, would I get the 3rd degree. I just want them to do my hair, not ask me personal questions about why I stopped seeing my first consultant. Anywho maybe one day.



Throughout the months I have learned alot of things about my hair. I have realized that my hair needs to be retightened in 3-4 weeks. I have also learned that my hair needs and loves conditioner. I have gone through some thinning issues, in which I have had to combine some locks, and I'm finally okay with it. My edges are starting to grow back, so now I just have to wait and be patient for them to fill back in and then start new baby locks. I'm so ready to add some new color to my hair but I know my hair isn't ready yet. I initially wanted to color my hair on my 2 year lockversary but moved it back to my 3 year mark, because I don't think my hair was ready. I honestly don't know if I could wait that long. Until then I'll be researching colors. I know I coudln't post without pictures so here are a few shots of a braid out that I did a few weeks ago. I think it turned out pretty good. I also did a soft spike set but it didn't turn out that great because I didn't leave the curlers in long enough, next time I'll be patient!
