Hello, Beautiful!!!

Well! It's been almost 4 months since my last post...  I've since gained considerable length...  I hate that I said my hair was going through an ugly stage; it was just different than what I've been used to seeing - having braids & twists.  I see that that stage was just part of the process your hair has to go through to lock, and that makes it beautiful :)  It took a friend to tell me that before I realized it for myself.  I'm thankful for all the compliments I've received.  They have really strengthened my resolve to stay locked for life.  It's not a fad for me.  It's the next phase and last phase of my natural hair journey.  I've been from braids to the TWA (Teeny Weeny Afro), on to the two-stranded twist, and now, finally, LOCKS! I couldn't be more pleased with the way my hair has turned out, and I can't wait to see how my look transforms as my hair continues to grow.
