Half Updates Never Count

So I see that my last real post was a while ago. It was five days before my two month-versary. Now ladies and gentlemen I have officially reached my 5 month mark this past November 14th! I am so excited! I have had MAJOR compliments on my hair styling versality and the ease of just waking up in the morning gives me the happiest feeling in the world! My only, only regret is truly NOT DOING THIS SOONER!!!!I can't stress that enough.
Since then however I have picked up some hobbies. Well more like resurrected some hobbies. One of them is crocheting. I started to crochet in '05 but life just had me put the hook down and not only am I picking them back up again but I'm happy to say that this beginner crocheter has made a sweater, two pairs of house slippers, two winter hats, three scarfs and a pot holder. What is even extra cool is that I have some requests! I tell people that I thank them for their support and while as a beginner I don't profess to know everything, but their support allows me to perfect my skills in making their project.
Also, I've decided it was time for me to finish my B.A. in Social Work. I had two attempts at online schools that in my opinion were found not to be repudable after being enrolled. They were accredited but in choosing schools that is not the only important thing to look for. So after the two attempts I have finally enrolled in an University that has long history of excellence. So I attend two nights a week and I can't wait until I'm done. I'm returning back to my nerd-dom( as if it ever left) and I have A's in BOTH my classes. GO EYEDINITY!
Last but not least I have gotten back into my writing. I LOVE IT!!!

So why is this post entitled, "Half Updates Never Count"? It's because one of the most important things needed to make a cool and complete blog I happen to be missing. I AM MISSING THE PICTURES!I have pictures not only of my completed crochet projects but I have pictures of my hair. I have lost my USB cord so that's the hold up. When I find it I'll be at it again. Until then, Hold Tight, BE Right and be Natural!
Love,
Eyedinity

Five days away...

I am five days away from my 2 month a-ver-sary. And here are some pics from August...Enjoy and thanks for viewing....Of course if you'd like, always check my fotki for a showing of all my hair pics!

I can not keep my hands out of my hair. I'm worried that because I do it so much, my hair will fall out...Ok, I'm not really worried but I adore my hair so much that my hands and my hair are very well accquainted. I LOVE MY HAIR! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!YEA!!!!

Ok now that that is out of my system, I must relate something that I've been hearing. It is this..."Locs when maintained by a latch hook will break the hair." I would like to ask anyone who has maintained their locs with a latch hook, to please let me know if this is true. I've tried to figure out HOW this can happen but I'm not seeing it. Even with the part of the latch hook that folds or closes over, I see how it can break your hair off if you use it harsly or improperly but can't any tool do some damage if used harshly?


So Eyedinity what should it have been? Sisterlock tool, Nappyloc tool, Hair Pin, Copper Wire/Blind Needle Self made tool, latch hook or fingers?

Almost a month Updates!

These are a few pics of my braidlocks that will be a month old on the 18th of July. You'll see that I've roller set them and just last night I've washed them for the second time. I use Jamaican Mango and Lime Loc Tingling Shampoo and Loc Conditioner. I love the tingling sensation and I love the smell of the conditioner. I know some say you shouldn't condition so if there's anyone that has experience with braidlocks who had an unpleasant condition when they conditioned, please let me know. Can't wait 'til they start locking. Thanks for stopping by. Be well! P.S. Forgive me for the funky layout. I'm still getting used to this.

Try this...

Can you guess what I did?

Ok...this is where I am with this!

I am going to try and make this a simple reading.

1)Felt like I settled with my 1st set of locks because there were bumps and holes in them when they were completed and they were bigger than I liked.

2)I ALWAYS WANTED SISTERLOCKS!!!

3)I called myself correcting them by making one loc into 2 or 3 but the parts became very uneven and all over the place.

4)I ALWAYS WANTED SISTERLOCKS!

5)I began to take them down May 3rd.

6)DID I SAY I ALWAYS WANTED SISTERLOCKS?

7)I spoke to a consultant for the millionth time and I made a decision to choose L. Williams.

8) I GOTTA HAVE SISTERLOCKS!

9) Will someone tell me why once again for the zillionth time a financial situation came up prolonging my installation until perhaps Oct/Nov when my plans were for July?

10) NOT Looking too Good for those SISTERLOCKS :(

11) But I INTENSELY desire locs, having Locks are more important to me than a specific type or brand so this time I've made an appointment for:

BRAIDLOCS!!!!!

I've read about TRA's microbraidlocs and viewed the photos of lioness. Lioness' daughter Shell has braidlocs and they helped me make my decision.
