It's almost a year since I started locking. One thing I've
learned about myself over the past year is that my patience can only go
so far. Remember back in the beginning when I promised Sheila that
I wouldn't cut the perm off? Well... just 10 days before the one-year
mark I whacked off the rest of the relaxer in the back. The ends that used
to be curly had begun to hang straight, and you just know that I was not
havin' no straight hair on my nappy head! So I carefully cut off all of
the relaxed ends. And I love it!! I'm finally 100% nappy!
WEEK FIFTY-ONE
|
I had just washed my hair and sat down to join an online chat the evening of July 12th, and I suddenly decided to whack off the remaining relaxer... lock by lock. You can see from this picture that I still had a good 2 inches of relaxer back there. I don't know what came
over me, but I'm glad I did it. Now I truly have no more hair issues!
Note: I do not advise anyone to cut their own hair. It's really
easy to cut into the lock and mess up. Let the professionals do the
cutting.

| Here's how it looked when I finished whacking on it. I like it. Nothing
but locks. No chemicals! Now I no longer have to deal with that dead, tortured
hair anymore! I am FREE! |

I gotta tell you how this picture was taken. I wanted
a blank wall for a background, and the bathroom is the only room in the
house that has blank walls. So.. I set the timer on my camera, sat the
camera on top of the toilet tank, and sat my butt down on the cold tiled
floor right in front of the toilet! It's a good thing my kids didn't walk
in on me. They already think I've lost my mind. This would have proven
it for sure!

At work the next day. No rollers... just freestylin'. Yeah... I am lovin' my hair!

A view from the top. |
| After a couple of days I decided to see what it would look like if
I curled it. This picture and the two below show my all-natural locks after
a wet set with just water and sponge rollers. Not bad! |
