Shot of the Week

It's the W-E-E-K-E-N-D! We made it!
I had the opportunity to take my sisters Senior pictures this week, which was an amazing experience. I am truly amazed how this beautiful, smart talented person- was once a little girl who used to follow me around hanging on my heels. My sister has grown up to be fine a young lady. Time fiies! Enough of my babbling; I feel the tears forming.  Check out my shot of the week.

My First Photo Session

Here are a few shots from the session.

Fresh Re-Twist

Hey folks!!

It's the start of a new year, and I've decided to start my year with a fresh re-twist of my locs. Normally, I dread this process because it is very time consuming (it can take me up to 4 hours to complete the entire process) but.. today I was pumped to do the job.

I washed, and towel dried the locs, and lightly sprayed them with Jamaican Mango and Lime Lock & Setting Spray. I love it! It's light, and it gives my locs ton's of body.

Check out my pics of the process below:

Freshly Washed, Check out the length!!

I re-twist my locs with Organic Root Stimulator Lock & Twist Gel. It works wonders on my locs! The gel is soft, smooth, and it does NOT flake. Check it out!

After re-twisting I sprayed them with Marula hair and scalp oil, and I sat under the dryer for 15 mins.

Lastly, the finished product.

Mess of the week: Teacher cuts girls hair

Teacher Cuts Off Girl's Braid In Front Of Class..
Yeah.. This is a MESS!

Look what I found....

Greetings folks!

I've been searching for hair oil for my locs for about 6 months. For about 5 years I had been using Dark & Lovely's Almond Rain Oil Mist But recently, I noticed that something about the product changed. I can't quite figure it out. All of the ingredients have remained the same, but something about it felt different. So, I set out to find a new oil for my thirsty locs.. and I FOUND this.. Motions Marula Hair and Scalp Oil. It is wonderful! The oil is light, smells great, and gives my locs great shine.

Check it out!

Happy Anniversary..... to my locs

This month my locs turn 3 years old.. It took them almost a whole year to actually loc.. It was rough folks!! So in honor of this great feat, today's post is a look back at them over the last few years.. Enjoy!
