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.

I think being tagged means that in someone else's blog post, they mention you or something to continue on with a chain letter type of thing. Haha, that was a terrible explanation, but you are doing good, just one day at a time, I think your locks look great!

Your locks are gorgeous. Don't even worry about them being uneven, they look great! With having locks we can see where the hair ends, because each end is unique and seperate. Unlike when we had relaxers the ends just lay down, are brushed into and blends easily with the rest of our hair. So it just stands out more, but it is a beautiful work of art!:) I like that comment. Happy be-lated one year loc'versary! :)
