I also loved twists, but I never had the length to do it with my own hair. <br /><br />And yes I loved my trip to Trinidad, I always do. I'm upset that I'm not going next year.Gigglzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111986337935666625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-40618754865563735062009-08-27T20:19:02.302-04:002009-08-27T20:19:02.302-04:00Hi, found your blog while searching for something ...Hi, found your blog while searching for something else and decided to drop in to take a look. Very interesting. I've grown my hair naturally for the last 11 years, after being permed for the last, ah well, a long time. Have not done any locks because I like variety, too permanent for me. I do corn rows, plaits or twists whenever suits my fancy. However I mostly leave my hair in twists because I find it easier to manager and besides I like the way it looks, especially if I need to go any place special - I can do an updo. Hope you enjoyed your trip to Trinidad, my homeland. Ahhh, home. Wish you success with your sisterlocks.Alicia Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02836047408383710857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-52941111929852712552009-08-09T15:22:32.726-04:002009-08-09T15:22:32.726-04:00@Kumina - 19 months and still B&B whew.

I think just to be on the safe side I will continue to do it until my hair is fully locked. As it grows I'm sure the B&B gets much easier.Gigglzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111986337935666625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-36839191057939636822009-08-09T00:11:04.198-04:002009-08-09T00:11:04.198-04:00I'm 19 months loced and I had to go back to ba...I'm 19 months loced and I had to go back to banding because I had some serious bunching and unraveling going on. I don't like taking the extra time to band, but I hate trying to repair all the loose locs. I try to do a vigorous shampoo whenever I get brave, maybe once every few months, then afterwards I'm afraid to look in the mirror. But sometimes I just gotta work my scalp to wake it up. Thankfully it's never been anything I can't fix.Kuminahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830207662509802189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-89470534091183436852009-08-06T12:25:39.218-04:002009-08-06T12:25:39.218-04:00Uh -oh thats not good to hear. After 11 months yo...Uh -oh thats not good to hear. After 11 months you still have to B&B, well my notion of B&B definetely has gone out the window. I will still look like some crazy woman as I wash my hair, but all worth it when I'm done and my ends don't look cookoo!!! <br /><br />Quick question though, do you do alot of vigorous shampooing and how many times do you shampoo?Gigglzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111986337935666625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-30978120913946569322009-08-06T09:57:45.020-04:002009-08-06T09:57:45.020-04:00Be very careful!!

My consultant had given me the ok to stop about 3 months ago & I shampoo'd without b & b & my ends looked crazy afterwards, they were all loose & frizzy looking. So hence back to b & b for another 3 months so my ends could go back. My consultant thought she was going to have to restitch my ends but she didn't they went back on their own.new2locshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01715008657428702212noreply@blogger.com
