    My scalp itches like crazy and I can&#39;t wait to wash it today. I&#39;m never letting anyone else up in my head again. <_<

    I have these intrusive thoughts every now and then: What will I do if a year or two from now I look at my hair and the top/front still looks the way it does now and has not locked? What if it doesn&#39;t look any longer? What if the frizzies get frizzier than they are now? What if all this TLC I&#39;m putting into my hair is for naught? What would I do?

    These thoughts creep up on me and I sometimes end up having to shake my head to get them out, or think over and over to myself, Patience girl, patience --- it will all come in time.

    Day 26 and my hair is still thanking me for the daily washes.

    Hang in there! I&#39;ve thought the same thing &#39;cause my hair is soft on the top of my head. Then on Saturday, I was looking in the mirror and lo and behold one of the very ones I thought might never seal had done just that!

    Patience, love, patience. Your hair will keep thanking you for it.

    Can&#39;t stop playing with a jingle ball! (That&#39;s what I call those little dangling balls of hair.)

    You&#39;d think I&#39;d be past the hand-in-loc thing by now. :lol:

    I do my son&#39;s hair better than mine. His looks like its on its way, mine&#39;s looks like someone forgot about it. Hubby claims if I leave it wrapped with my scarfs it&#39;ll lock faster. It seems like it was so much easier the last the first two time I did this. What am I doing wrong now?

    my DH washed my dreads the other day and it felt great... :yes:

    ...though he did tug a bit too hard once... <_<

    ...someone hugged me at church and it was the first time that my locs were stuck under the weight of someone&#39;s arm...now that hurt...but the fact that they are long enough to be smashed by someone during a hug was enlightening...and i mean this sis just kept her arm around my shoulders and i was thinking, doesnt she notice my head is pulled back...did she think i was looking @ JESUS in the sanctuary :lol: ...i was so taken aback by the fact that they were trapped that by the time i was ready to tell her to gently remove herself from my dreads...she was gone... ^_^

    Well I finally sucked it up and washed and retwisted my own locks.......and it was alot easier that I thought! It will be a year for me in July but I was stilled worried about some that haven&#39;t locked yet.

    Much easier and much faster, it didn&#39;t take me 3hrs to try and twist my hair. My mom even got in on the action and helped when my arms got a bit tired. :P

    Looking fwd to the next wash!

    I finally retwisted my locs at a soccer game while my son took his afternoon nap, talk about mutitasking over the weekend! :lol: I am seraching for new styles for spring/summer. I really would like to try an updo and basket weave! I may put a little color to add to the natural coloring from the sun! I can&#39;t believe that I am into my fourth locing year!! I can&#39;t wait to try some organic shampoo bars with shea butter and other natural ingredients for my next wash and retwist!

    Peace,

    As I sit here I often reflect when I first started to lock my hair. This tunnel of uncertainty, did I do the right thing? Will they lock? Almost at 4 years I can&#39;t believe how much my hair has grown. Now, I do not even worry about twisting my roots who cares. I love the washing and squeezing that good castile soap through out my scalp. I love rubbing coconut oil on my tresses soaking up that good moisture. I even see one or two strands of grey at my temples could those be wisdom hairs? Hmm getting old, lol! I feel so free so boundless to our warped society in believing only a weave is acceptable. Nothing matters just being natural and loving your true self. I do not fear turning older I fear not living but only existing......!
    TO BE LOCKED IS TO BE FREE!!!!
