New Posting

Greetings to all!

I have not posted for such a long time, I have to get with it and stop thinking about this blog in the sense of my old web page that I only updated every 6 months or so. 

Maybe it is because I do not think I have much to contribute, but I must shake myself from this mindset it is not healthy. 

Ok, my locs are doing great.  I took some pics last month that came out pretty good I will post a few of them.  I am really loving these shorter, smaller locs.  I am finding that I really love the shake & go look.  Locs doing whatever they want to especially with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of unlocked hair at the scalp.  So cool and freeing.  Well, I have decided about the whether I want to dye my hair or not.  The decision NOT.  Once I gave it some more thought and listened to a few video clips of the VideoLoctician, I decided it is too much work.  I will have to keep up the dyeing of the roots.  I know I would have to get my friend Karen to do it for me and though I know it would be fine with her.  I know that I would want to do it myself eventually and that is when something would go wrong. :-) 

Besides what color would i want it to be and why am I doing it.  Is it to look younger or prettier.  I am learning that I have to accept my age and carry on until GOD says my days here are over. Ok..I could say I am doing it for myself, but again why.  What is it that I need to portray to others about me, that I take it to another level by dyeing my hair. Maybe this whole hair thing is just vanity run wild.  Now there is a thought that I have not had in a long while. Maybe all of this is just that vanity.  Yes, it may be vanity but this started with acceptance of my natural self way back in the year 2000.  The way GOD has made me and my complete acceptance of that fact.  So no to dyeing my hair, right now it is time for me to be grey headed.  I do and will embrace that as I have embraced my natural hair.  Ok.. decision completely made and final.

Blessings to you all until next time which should be a few days.

Whhooaaaa there Ro!!!! Colour your hair?????

No please dont do it....You are the ONLY source of inspiration to stop colouring. Let me tell you first hand its the colouring every 4 weeks that finally took its toll on me. Now i have to patiently wait till my greys grow out and see what happens whether i can leave as is (depending on how much grey i have) or cut the dark bits when the grey bits have locked. Just cant wait as patience has never been a strong point of mine. Learning the hard way.

The point is i am ready for my greys and WILL NEVER colour again.

Please hang in there!
