Posted Nail Jewelry for Locs?

I pierced my locs with some posted nail jewelry.  I was experimenting to see if it could be used as loc jewelry.  I found that I could not control the jewelry to remain topside.  So I decided it was not going to work.

The posted nail jewelry is held by a hexnut.

I pierced through the softer spots in my locs to experiment.  No harm to try something new.  Hopefully, this experiment gives someone else some new ideas too.

Natural Hair Curl Comparison the 3D version

I have had a lot of natural hair questions lately.  I hope that this video helps.  If you are not sure of your curl pattern, then stretch your relaxer touch-up out for three months.  Flat Twist styling or other curly looks will blend in the textures. I do discuss curl reformation in this video as well.

My Concert Look: Janet Jackson Unbreakable Tour 2015

Used the Tropical Roots Black Jamaican Castor Oil and Foam for a braid-out.

Lawn seat view of the concert

Just in case the weather got cool, I grabbed a jacket, and I wanted to sport my shades that my late great aunt gifted to me.

My three years and 2 months loc-versary is next week.

PNC Music Pavilion

Janet Jackson's show was high impact!  18,000 in attendance. Sold out.  I heard that they ran out of parking. Seven mile backups. They plan to partner with Uber in the future to provide designated dropoff and pickup locations. Many missed the concert which lasted under 2 hours due to traffic. I cannot imagine the pavilion any more full.

Review: Weave A Wig

Weave A Wig is like a detachable sew-in.  It is a wig construction with a net to sew down the perimeter.

Between relaxers, permanent color, aging, stress, and years of extension wear, my client's hair needed a break.  The cooler weather was coming, and we decided to give the Weave A Wig a try.  We had to cut the exotic length off to make it more practical for everyday activities.  The cost is around $50 USD, and we love it!

No shifting, No turning.  It is secured with thread and a perimeter braid around.  The hair is a human hair blend.  It can withstand moderate heat for curling. If someone is sleeping and working out and wearing it continuously, then it should last about 3 to 4 weeks before a replacement is needed.

The optional invisible part requires 6 inches of length to blend in the invisible part.  In addition, we left her perimeter hair out to blend.  The human hair blend in the color 4327 delivers a natural hair look.  The rest of the hair underneath the unit can be braided down.

Wet Check-in: Sisterlocks at 38 months

I am a week away from three years and two months Sisterlocks anniversary.

I may have skipped my wet check-in last month.  I definitely did a regular check-in.

Length gain seems more noticeable every other month in comparison to a monthly check-in.

The tightenings at the roots extends the length too.  I am still on-going with self tightenings.  Thanks for following me on this journey!
