Over a Month Sister Locked - Anticipating First Reti

Well I let the month come and go without blogging. I did take pictures though. I even loaded them on the computer which is a good thing because I then took my disc to get a set of pics made for my locktician and lost the disc (after getting the pics). Oh well. So what is new and exciting with my hair? Not much really. Still loving my babies to pieces. I am really noticing my new growth now and realizing that I have to treat them a bit more gingerly as the new growth is fragile.

I was in whole foods checking out and the clerk said you have new sisterlocks don't you? Her mom wore them and is a loctician. She said she wanted them but had no guarantee her silky wavy hair would lock. It was interesting having someone envious of my hair when I was looking at hers thinking if I had your hair I might have never done this.

Also as I have taken my hair natural I have done so with my other aspects of my life. I am trying to make changes to me and my daughter Joy's diet to see if I can help her with her allergies and exzema. I'm starting small. I have gotten some unrefined coconut oil, original himalayan crystal salt, and started drinking green smoothies again. I will keep you posted on the changes I experience. I know the green smoothies have helped me eliminate water and a few lbs in the week I have been drinking them so far. Plus if I have something with too much fat or sugar I get quesy, which definitely keeps me on the right track.

I decided this time not to loosen the curls after I took the twisted knots down. I got so many compliments at work. Several people said "I don't like locks, but I like yours". I just thanked them and giggled.

Here is the conditioning mist I bought from the video locktician. I use it on my locks and Joy's afro as well. I love it. It is really light. Just what my locks needed. She also sent samples of her Ooh oil, Loc Luv and shea butter balms. The oils are nice as well, but I'm not a huge fan of the citrus smell so I just put it on at night before I tie up my locks. And the journey continues.
