Latched locs (1)

So, I tried finger-latching some of the locs the other day...it turned out okay, I guess. I should really make or buy (probably make) a tool so I can make it look better.





(Sorry it's a little blurry)

Thanks to loc rocker, I found a great video about latching from fellow loc wearer, kalia-dewdrop. You can check out the video here.



Anybody else latch?

Nails of the Moment

N.Y.C. Long-Wearing Nail Enamel- Skin Tight Denim Creme.

I love this color- very vampy! Takes about two coats to become opaque.

Oh yeah, this is before I cleaned it, so excuse the mess! lol

Color!

So, I want to color /streak my hair (you probably already know this), and I've narrowed it down to two colors:

Which of these do you like? Because I'm so indecisive, your thoughts are appreciated!

Nails of the Moment

At this moment, my nails are wearing Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Cherry Red (sorry it's kinda blurry...)

New product I'm trying

Happy Monday!

My scalp itches- a lot. It's not really anything new, I've had the itchies, and dandruff, since I was younger. However, I got tired of scratching all the time (and potentially chipping my nail polish), so when I was in Walmart last week, I looked for some oil and found this:

Its ingredients include olive fruit oil, castor seed oil, jojoba seed oil, ginseng extract and more

In addition to your scalp, you can also use it as a body moisturizer and for hot oil treatements. I've only put it directly on my scalp twice. The itchies aren't completely gone, but it's getting better. I've also started using it for my dry skin, and it works fabulously! I love it!

And the price is great, too. Only $2 and some change at Walmart. If you try or have tried it, let me know what you think about it!

Manifestation board!

If you know me, you know I love making collages and vision/manifestation boards. Here's the one I made this week for the new year. Sorry it's kinda blurry:

Here are some photos of my locs after washing them:

Comparison shot

Here's how my locs look now versus when I first started them. They kinda look the same length to me, but anyway, here they are : )

Random loc thoughts- 12.9

I wonder why my hair never stays tight for more than 2 weeks...It's kind of annoying. I don't want to get them redone because it's too soon, but I don't like how loose they feel...
