Growing Slow..... Sort Of




My hair is growing but it is growing so slow. I still have some straight ends. I am slowly trimming the ends off. At first I was scared to trim the permed edges but I am going on 6 months of loc-dom so I decided to chance it. The sides of my hair is beginning to lock, the front and the middle are still kinda twisted looking.
My styling options are limited at this point. Either I wear head bands or I just free style. I've read in other blogs that when the hair is short and locked that it begins to coil . Well my hair is straight in the front and coils in the back. Mostly it's straight so I have to use rods if I want it to have that coily look. I know hair is unique and will do what it wants, but man I wish I had just a little more length. Yes, I am experiencing loc envy. I still love my sisterlocs, just would like some more styling options. I know that is not good to manipulate the hair too much when the ends are still straight. So with that in mind, I'mma let my hair do what it wants to do. I've been tagged but I do not know what to do just yet, but I will have that information up by the end of the week. Well I'm out, stay blessed.

Hi Black Doll: I like the way you have styled your locks with the headband. Cute!! I didn't notice much growth with my locks till towards the end of the first year. It does seem to take awhile at first.it will happen though. Your locks are very nice.

Hey Black Doll! How's things in the mid-west?? And more importantly how are the puppies??

I feel you on the styling options, I am the queen of headbands! Waiting for your hair to grow is like watching grass grow, but yours looks like it is filling in nicely!
