My Hair Journey...

I haven't gotten my locks installed yet.  So, I have decided that I will upload a few pictures of my BEFORE I get locked...  You will see my journey...

Enjoy... (They are not in any specific order)

My 34th birthday 4/17/11

22 inch Virgin "INDIAN" hair.... Not MY hair :-) 

(Wonder how long it will take for my SL to grow this long...)

Sat at the hair shop for about 7 hours!  Between hair and stylist, spent about $450

Kinky Twist & my Avatar eye shadow

I did this myself, so I only had to but the hair.. But it took me FOREVER :-) 

My hair is pressed.. No extensions

Sat at hair shop about 3-4 hours... Roots sweated in about 2 days... So I began to flat iron to "touch-up" until I decided to go back into the weave, the next week... I know I did some damage, but it wasn't too bad.

My Afro... I am learning to be comfortable with my kinky hair.

Crazy how I thought my hair was SOO nappy when I was growing up and I NEEDED a perm! 

I have such beautifully kinky/coily hair... 

Since I don't know how to style my natural hair too much, then this is my go to style when it's not in a weave/ press/ or braids. I use conditioner and curly creme and sometimes I will do a twist out for this look.

There is my weave again... She was my friend!

But I chose this picture because I LOVE my Shirt!  I am beautiful... Flaws and all!  

Crazy how I have not had a relaxer in nearly 4 years and consider my hair to be in its natural state, but due to the many extensions that I have worn, I hardly know how to manage it.. Outside of my afro or twist out..

My final picture is my TESTER LOCKS!!! YAY!!

At first I was a little unnerved about how thin they were... But after speaking to some veterans (s/o to Tiff, Lakieta, & Alisia) and remembering WHY I have chosen this journey, I fell in love with them!!! 

I can't wait!! In a little over 2 weeks, my whole head will be complete!! 

Talk to you soon
