I've Hit The Wall

I always wondered if I would always love my sisterlocks. In the begining I thought I would always see them and smile. However, I've hit that proverberal wall. I am frustrated with my sisterlocks. I still love them but I wish I could do more with them. I've been loc'ed for 5 months and most of my ends are still loose. When will these bad boys seal? I hate my loose ends because they stick straight out instead of curling naturally. Yes I know I can rod my hair and have curls but sometimes I just do not feel like it. Actually, I've stopped rodding for the most part, because I felt like I was curling my hair too much and not proudly rocking the free style. But let's face it when you have short locks styling options is something that you can't have. If you have any suggestions , please let me know. I guess I got the sisterlock blues .... eh put it's all apart of the process. Every love affair has its issues, and we (sisterlocks and I) are have some issues. I'm getting baptized tomorrow, should I band my locks (LOL). Naw I wont be that vain, but my head will be submersed in water for a few seconds. I have no plans of getting rid of my sisterlocks anytime soon...... so I just need to get over it. I just wanted to vent.

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.
