Strange and Wonderful Things About Locs

I was just thinking about the comments I've heard about my hair now loc'd as well as some of the things I've experienced wearing Sisterlocks lo these 3 years.

COMMENT: "Your hair looks more feminine now... I like it on you!"

EXPERIENCE: My locs are long enough now to get into things like my food when I eat, the water fountain, my toothpaste lather when I brush my teeth in the morning & night.

COMMENT: "When are you gotta take that out?!"

EXPERIENCE: My locs get caught under my husband's arm in bed or when they tickle my back and shoulders in the summertime makin' me swat like crazy. I think what I'm feeling is a BUG (this really happens when I wear an updo and a loc or two hangs down unexpectantly)

COMMENT: "I thought where going to the salon to get your hair DONE?" (Said usually after a retightening session... 'cause they see no "change")

COMMENT: "I didn't know OUR HAIR could bounce like that!" (My hair DOES have exceptional body these days a testament to the ability to wash my hair frequently and the elimination of hair oil, grease or pomade.)

I'm A "Green" Diva

This post is probably TMI about me... but health and wellness are things I am passionate about from head to toe, inside and out-- to include menstrual health. Any of you heard of The DivaCup? I use to sell it at my online store. I'm now out of stock. The other day I got to thinking how long it has been since I first started using a menstrual cup in lieu of tampons. It's been about 4 years now at least. I'm sure it was either shortly before or after I got Sisterlocks Either way... it too is a decision I don't regret making much like my decision to get Sisterlocks. I had been a tampon user since a teen and had become increasingly concerned about toxic shock syndrome. Not because I had ever experienced any symptoms but I just got to wonderin' were there any OTHER options to tampons and pads. Oh the wonder of the Internet... I got to Googlin' up some stuff and lo and behold... alternatives existed and had existed for years. You may be amazed as I was that there ...

Just kidding... Lottabody DOES Work on MY Sisterlocks!

Hmmm, well, I guess I figured out  my Lottabody to Water ratio...  I sure needed to because as you can you see, I have a half bottle of the stuff yet to go... and this large bottle WILL LIKELY last me for the next 9 years... lol!
