Well folks, on the 26th and 27th of this month I'll be celebrating my 2 yr. mark. It's been a sometimes frustrating, but also exciting journey indeed. Do I regret making this decision to get Sisterlocks? Not in your life. This weekend I retightened my own locs, and it only took me from approx. 7 pm, to about 6 am. the following morning, with a break of about 2 hours in between. Yes I stayed up all night doing it because I wasn't sleepy. Anyway, even with the clipping of my permed ends, I have experienced so much growth. A few locs have sealed, but of course majority have not. I was initially told my Therza 2 years ago that it would probably take 3 yrs. to be fully loc'd. Well looks like she was right. It's ok though because I love my hair. I love the ringlets on some ends, the fuzzy ends of others, but those straight permed one's will be defeated! LOL. Anyway, I hope that my journey over the past two years have inspired others to take that leap, especially those who start off will a lot of permed hair like I did. I think I understand myself and my hair so much more with taking this journey. This journey has also sparked other journey's too, like my weightloss. So far I have lost 40 lbs. since the end of February this year. I feel liberated by my hair, and renewed by my size. God bless you all and don't forget....
Love, peace, and no hair grease.

WOW!!! your hair looks beautiful & has really grown alot, how many inches of permed hair do you have left?
Congrats on your weightloss, good for you!!! I know that took hard work and dedication. You and your hair look lovely.
Congatulations on both your weight loss and your locs!!! I am glad that you shared about the permed ends not being sealed yet because at 16 months, mine have not either and I was wondering why. Again your locs look beautiful!!!
Thanks ladies for reading my blog. Euphoria, I may have about an inch left on just a few locs. Most of my head is natural now. I have to make myself put the scissors down. I have different lengths all over because of obsessive behavior. Lol.
Hey, your locs look beautiful...Try not to get discouraged..Your weight loss is a great accomplishment. I'm 16mos locked and some of my locs are still opened because of color...but I love them just the same..Hang in there!!! Some of us are traveling the same road. ;-)
