This is my hair without any crinkles or curls . With it being so uneven you can see why the crinkles and curls are a regular part of my life at this stage. If I knew then what I know now I would have gotten my hair cut even before locking.
Observations:
Everything that glitters ain't gold in blogger land! If a process like coloring and heat styling was damaging before locks it is still damaging with locks.
Visit a professional loctician regularly. Seems like the bloggers with the most issues are the ones who never or rarely visit a professional for a checkup. We can all brush our teeth, yet we visit a dentist to eval if we are doing it right....right? Same thing.
Don't wait too long between reti's. You will loose a lock! You should not exceed 7 or 8 weeks, depending on your hair.
I only have two locks that are not staying. The rest are locked 4life. My bunching stage went longer than normal which is why I'm not showing a lot of length. My consultant said my hair is finished bunching which means I should start seeing length. If you look my pre-lock and installation photos you can see that my hair was longer in the beginning than it is now.
No lost locks..
Goals:
Get a hair cut to shape my hair for my two year anniversary......can't wait. I don't favor uneven locks.
Not lose any locks if I can help it.
Drink 8 or more glasses of water per day and stop drinking soda! I am a bit of a soda addict.
Lose weight and get in shape so that I look fabulous with my locks. My significant other is very supportive of my journey so I owe to him as well as myself.
Actually go to the gym instead of just paying for membership and not going.
