Welcome! I'm a writer from Texas. I was locked by Imani Nash-Bey of Pomona, Ca 11-28-03. I had my Sisterlocks for about 8 years and cut them off in 2011. Currently in the process of growing my hair back and getting re-locked SOON! I'm an avid blogger and decided to share my locked growth process with easier access to the masses. If you enjoy reading 1st person narratives and looking at photos and some videos, then you'll enjoy my blog. *Please do not copy my pictures without my permission.*
I thought I'd add some pictures to compare from day #1 to my 2 yr anniversary. Wow! What a difference 2 years make!
It is so hard to believe I have come this far in my journey. I have so many wonderful people to thank in the Lockitup and Brothers_locked yahoo groups along with the beautiful blogs and on-line photo journals of those willing to share freely their locking journey and experiences. Being locked at the young age of 35 (smile) is such a liberating experience, especially since I had so many years of haircare drama in my life. Being natural and especially being locked for me, has taken a great amount of fortitude, in which I've found out how much I can bare throughout this entire journey. Some have given up and thrown in the towel, others have given up, but then picked themselves back up again for another round, and yet others have persevered all the way through. Although this journey hasn't been a bed a roses, I must say, I am extremely happy with my decision to get locked. The light I have to share only beams brighter when I enter a room with my big blossomy smile and my two-toned locked hair. I'm thankful to "represent". Well, until I post more pictures and stories, keep it locked and keep it real!
