Fierce Fro Action


Yesterday after my shampoo & conditioner, I decided to treat my fiance to something a little different. I know he wants me to go back to my locs, BUT, I would like to keep things the way it is (fros and twists). Therefore, I daydreamed about my banana clip and BAM! The outcome was better than I expected simply because I can pull my hair back! Yes! Finally, now, Lord, please continue to bless my hair with growth and health, in Jesus Name, Amen! I had fun with this style and I am still rocking it today. My man did not like it too much because I have my hair changing ALL the time. His actual statement: "I got used to seeing you with side-swept bangs and hair tucked behind your ear. And then you cut it all off. Then you were loccing it. Now you have it big and all stuck in the 70's era. Don't talk to me about your hair, because my say-so doesn't matter. Talk to your Twitter friends." Do you believe that?? Wow....... Anywho, Mom loves this look and I believe it's her fav (according to my sis).


Before I go, I was in Walmart last night and two of the workers commented on this look. One was an older Caucasian woman and the other a young, transitioning Sister. Respectively, the compliments were, "You look nice" and "How long have you been Natural? I like your hair and I am debating whether to Big Chop or just transition." For the latter, I spent time giving her answers to her questions and it felt great! I love this life of mine, you all. I make a difference as a Christian and Natural Sister. You gotta love it! To God be the glory!


Be blessed and favored!

The Show Stopper

My flat-ironed "New Heights" fro! I should call it the "Show Stopper"! That's what it is!

My Lovely Frohawk

This is the photo that I have been trying to upload to my Twitter page for days! My Droid Eris has connection problems to my Twitter photo uploads...totally sad! Therefore, I must send it this way... It's more than one way to skin a cat! At this stage in my Natural journey (8 months Natural), I am excited to be trying new hairstyles and getting cheers or jeers on them. As I stated before, different people like different looks on me. The majority loved when I was loccing because they just love the versatility of a neat loc style. My "new heights" fro is loved because it's a bold, "I not scared to rock big hair" look!

I hope that you are inspired by my looks and I continue to get bolder with it. Be blessed!

This my "new heights" fro after a regular blow out.

It's All About Changes

Hello! I have made a drastic change...well, not that drastic. You know that I decided to loc my hair about 3 1/2 months ago, right? Ok, well, on my last salon visit (this past Friday) my natural stylist (Erica) asked me was I stressing about something? Ok... I was like maybe a few things had me in a twist. I asked her why she asked me such a question and she stated that my locs were unravelling which concerned her. Wow!!! I knew they were not fully locced yet, but unravelling?? So, she retwisted my locs and sent me on my way with instructions of no shampoos for a month. I get one every 2 weeks. On Saturday morning, I looked in the mirror at my lovely locs and noticed the issue at hand and immediately decided on Operation Takeout of the Locs. My mom helped me take my hair loose and we only had to cut about 8 locs that were actually locced. That is very minimal compared to the entire head being in the loccing process. The dead hair was not alot at all! :) I am so excited and grateful that God has blessed me enough that I did not have to chop all of my glory off once again. I must be wise... My fiance loves the locs on me. His words exactly, "Your locs brought out your features more and I love that!" My parents are welcoming their "princess" back since I stated I wanted a straight look for a few days. My co-workers love my locs better than my blowout. How can I make everyone happy to include myself? I have decided to float between both Natural worlds. A few weeks of locs or two-strand twists and a few weeks of a curly fro, blow out or flat iron. I love all the Natural looks on me... Hey, what can they say? At least I am chemical free and has been since October 2009. Yeah! I have been totally natural since December 5, 2009. I am sooo excited!

I will post photos of my blowout, so stay tuned...

Be blessed!

It's Been A While...

Hello! I know I am horrible with writing on my blog! However, I have been sending photo updates...lol! I am still loving and enjoying my baby locs (as you can see). My Mister has taught me how to use the settings to create black & white photos on my cell, so you can expect some creative photos. Can I get my "vintage" on? Yeah, I know I can!

Well, stay tuned...btw, my baby locs are 3 months old!! I Love It (and Them)!! lol
