JULY 2011 Hellooo all!!! It has been a loooooong time since I have updated!!! Well let's get started. As you all can see, my hair is still short. August will make 1 year since my second big chop!!! I'm considering letting it grow out but I've gotten sooo use to my hair being easy to manage. I think I just might grow my shape up out but keep it short in a mini fro!! We'll see!! But nothing has really changed. I cut my color off because I wanted to start fresh. I've been using my Mango Butter mix as a leave-in/moisturizer and it has been great!!! The only problem is that I'm heavy handed so my hair tends to be very oily!! But I'm working on that!! I'll be posting pics of my growth weekly just to keep you gals updated!!! view album | view roll

AUGUST-OCTOBER 2010 HEEEELLLOOOO OUT THERE!!! HOW ARE YOU ALL?? Well I've been gone for awhile. I haven't been updating because....I DON'T HAVE ANY HAIR!!! That's right. I cut off my locs!!! I got soo tired of them. They were growing and looking pretty and locing but I was still tired of them. Though I am LOVING my short hair cut, I've decided to grow my hair back. I kinda miss my curly fro. I know, I know, I know, I am ALWAYS doing something to my hair. But through it ALL I've managed to stay NATURAL. But anyway...after about two more haircuts(4 weeks) I'm going to stop cutting my hair and let it grow out. The reason why I'm waiting is because I have color in my hair and I want to let it grow out and get it cut off. By the time I get the second hair cut, the color should be all grown out. But ok, enough of my rambling, enjoy the pics! (Even though there are only a few hehe) OHHHH AND I WILL ALSO BE CHANGING MY FOTKI NAME!!!!!!! view album | view roll

JUNE 2010 Hey my fotki friends!!! Well my hair is doing great. To me it looks the same as it did last month. As far as products go I'm still using the same thing I was using last month. Still on the search for a GREAT shampoo. I was thinking about trying out Chagrin Valley shampoo bars. I've been washing and retwisting every 2 weeks. I've tried to stretch it to every 3 weeks but my scalp starts to get EXTREMELY itchy and I can't take it. Well, that's it so far. I'll be updating =) view album | view roll

MAY 2010 Hey you all!!! This month on the 17th marks two months of having locs. My babies are budding and becoming a bit fuzzy. As far as products go, I've come to the conclusion that I can only use shampoo and oil. No matter what product I use to retwist, whether it be a butter or water-based, I always get yucky build up. I used a very water-based gel, that had the most watered down consistency and I still ended up with white guck in a very very small portion of my locs. I also do not tie my hair like i'm supposed to and I need to get into the habit of doing so. For my retwists I will be using jojoba oil. So far so good. I'll see how long it holds and let you guys know. For shampoo I used Trader Joe's Nourish Spa Shampoo and it dried my hair out just a little like all of the other shampoos I have used. The Dr. Bronner's was entirely too strong even though it made my scalp feel good. And there was nothing really wrong with the Taliah Waajid shampoo. I just don't want to use it because it's very dark and I rather use a clear shampoo. I think I'm going to stick with the Trader Joe's. It has a very nice scent and it gets my hair clean. I'm also thinking about investing in some Oyin Handmade Juices and Berries as a moisturizer. If you guys have any suggestions or comments please leave them in my GB. Thanks!! view album | view roll

APRIL 2010 The 17th makes it one month for me. On the first I tried finger latching and I LOOOOOVE IT!!! Latching is definitely for me. It took me awhile to do because I had to get use to it but I know after a few times I'll get the hang of it. I plan on finger latching once a month. Oh and I've finally tried Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castile soap that I've been hearing about from everywhere and I like it so far. I didn't experience the tingling but I'm guessing it's because I diluted it. But it made my scalp feel fresh and my hair didn't feel dry afterwards. After using it about 2 more times I will see if I still like it. view album | view roll

I gave away all of my products and purchased some new ones. ***Update: I took the first set of tst out and made them bigger and then i took that set out and made them smaller. I'm sticking with this set lol. view album | view roll
