Yes my SL and I are ready lol

Ready for the play

This is also pre-reti. The high sheen is mostly from the relaxed ends

A front shot. Its been only 3wks since my last reti. I have an event to attend and I wanted my SL to look their best. I been getting inquires frequently on my hair and I would like to be on point all the time. I love my hair!

This is a Before pic the day of my reti 4/19/11(11wks)

Here you can see the difference between to two textures very well. My signature styles are braid-outs

This is another reti 1wk shy of 12 weeks locked.

My signature braid-out style

A quiet moment with my SL

2.5 mos

Here u can see the two textures very well. Im so anxious to rid myself of the relaxed ends but my consultant says they will fall off on there own.

2.5 mos

I am 2.5mos here. At my 2 mo reti I had some locks combined in the front one on each side and in the rear because I had some slippage and some that came undone

Look at growth at 4wks. Im having a fit by the 3rd week. My front edges are doing there on thing. This is and example of why it would be a great idea to take the retightening class when I reach 6mos. And that would be to maintain my edges. I have no desire to be a total DIYer.

Locks

By Sharon L. Goodman

Some people stop, stand back and stare
since I decided to let Mother nature
style my hair
With her magnificent and powerful hand
she styled it in tune with the Motherland
Natural, nappy knots, dripping down long
Like mighty Kings and Queens,
majestic and strong
No more running from the rain,
drops flow free
Why even ancient winds don’t faze me
I jump into the shower, lather, rinse then
shake my head
Like towering, magical mountains
Still locked dread
No more burning lye or slick slippery gel
No more smoking hot comb with that
burnt ear yell
No more hard pink rollers or do-rags soaked
in grease
No more electric curlers, my hair
has found peace
Some people stop, stand back, and stare
since I decided to let Mother Nature
style my hair
I wear my locks proud, natural, and free
the sign of a power people
My locks are me….



Butterfly Queen says "I love this poem"

This is at 8wks the day before my reti. I started wearing the headband because some either slipped or became undone and I don't like the unkept look.
