I just wanted to say that I am really digging my hair as of late. I dyed my hair last night, because I was seeing a lot of grey. I never thought that the grey hair would bother me, but it was right in the middle of my forehead darnit! So I dyed my hair black and it was the third dyeing my hair in my life. It was not bad at all. I did wash and rinse repeatedly. I also wanted to share my latest obsession with you all. It is called Pinterest. I love this site and right now I am attempting to unravel some yard to do a project that I had found on there. Happy pinning everyone.

I'm stylin'

One thing I like to do is copy loose hair styles on my sisterlocks. What do you think about the job I did?

This is my attempt to copy the style on the video.

Yes I am in my car. I had some time to kill before work.

Just wanted to give you a close up to show texture. As I said in a previous post, My ends are not sealed even though I am going on 8 months locked.

Coming home

I was born in the state of Ohio and spent the first four years of my life there. I was raised in San Diego and consider it my hometown. I would visit Cleveland on rare occasions, but did not spend to much time there growing up. About twelve years ago my mom moved back to Cleveland and has been there ever since. I have probably visited Ohio more times in the last 12 years then I have since moving away at four. I consider home to be wherever my mom is, so when I say that I am going home to visit my mom, I am now talking about Cleveland. I recently flew to Cleveland because my mother was rushed to the hospital. My mother health is declining, so this was not her first visit to the hospital. What really caught my attention was my sister saying that she just signed a do not resuscitate order. I've been here for a week and my mother's health has improved, but she is still in the hospital and will probably remain there even after I leave this Sunday. As I sit in my mothers kitchen, looking out at the grey sky, listening to my father coughing in his bedroom, watching a city that I hardly know cat-nap, I start to think about home. Not the home that is the city where my mother lives, but the home that is the city where my own family lives. Is this what being an adult is all about?

slip, slip, slippage

I had to make an unexpected trip to Cleveland, Ohio to see my mother in the hospital. I had to forgo this month's scheduled re-tightening in order to make the trip. I can wait until I come home and make another appointment or I can get my hair done while I am here. I looked into some natural hair salons and their prices range between $90 to $100. One salon in particular has their price listed at $45/hour. What! Are you kidding me?!! I know that I have some slippage going on and I want to address it as soon as possible,  but not at those prices. I went on the sisterlock® website and emailed some trainees and consultants and I am just waiting for them to respond. I also wanted to see what a different consultant is working with and make sure my consultant was on point with my hair. Until next time.......
