My Six Month Photos

I finally have gotten a chance to post pictures of my 6 1/2 month old locks. I wanted to take a look at my total progress so here's how we started...

This is a picture of me with my natural hair just washed and conditioned before I got my Sisterlocks. The picture below was taken about 2 days after my install.

This next picture below is of my locks at 1 month followed by a picture of my locks at about 3 months.

And finally......here are my locks today at 6 1/2 months.

I'm really starting to notice the difference in length of my hair as I feel it creeping below my ears. The crown of my head has started to stick up as it prepares to descend down the back of my head as well. I'm still very pleased with my locks and I love seeing the difference in how my hair feels as it's growing.

This truly is a process and it's one where I look forward to each stage that comes along. The time has gone by so quickly and I can't believe that I'm already this far in. I'm excited to see what the next six months will bring. I'm having less slippage at my hairline but I pray that my hair will really begin to settle and start the locking process soon.

Six Months Of Lovely Locks

It's here, my 6th month lock-a-versary! The time has gone by so quickly and I can't believe how much my hair seems to have grown in such a short period of time. Not only has it grown in length but it seems to have become fuller as well. It looks like I'm finally starting to get over the hump of my hairline slipping which I am greatly thankful for. I faithfully braid and band every time I wash which is sometimes a pain because it takes all day to do that, wash, then take all of the braids down but I'm willing to do it to have those perfect locks I'm hoping for. I'll try to post some pictures soon.

The time is getting closer and closer to Homecoming and I'm really excited! Has anyone been before? What's it like? I'm looking forward to all of the festivities and the retightening class.

Okay, okay. The time has come for me to stand with Hilary Clinton behind Barack Obama. It's been no secret that I've been a supporter of hers, but truthfully I believe that either candidate will do what the country needs even though it will be an incredible challenge with the mess that we are in right now. I do think that Barack should take Hilary as a running mate as an honor to all of the millions of people that did vote for her in the primaries. The two together, in my opinion, would indeed secure the White House away from the Republicans. John McCain certainly has no chance even as we speak if you ask me.

My time with my boyfriend waxes and wanes. When things are good they are very good, but when things are bad they can be very bad. This is my first relationship that has lasted this amount of time (2 years so far) so it's unfamiliar territory for me. He always tells me that you have to work through the disagreements and overcome them while my instinct is always to run away from conflicts. To be honest, in looking at the big picture, the things we fight about are small things, but sometimes those small things build up to big blowouts. A few things are for sure though and that's that he has never given me reason to distrust him. He has always been very honest and very loyal to me and that is something not found in every relationship. I also know that he does love me very much and I do love him too. Maybe those are the big things that I do need to focus on.
