So Long Brown and "Hello Jet Black



The picture in brown is before the color. The second is the end result.










So long brown


Hello Jet Black











I had to color my hair last night! I couldn't stand the brown hair on me and my locks. My natural hair is brown and when I used to have a relaxer my hair would turn reddish-brown and people thought I had a color but it was my natural color. After looking at the close up of my hair and my sisters hair last week I knew I had to color it. Dark colors in my opinion make my hair look fuller and richer. I am pleased with the finished results. I think when you have really light locks you see too many knots and imperfections. Not to say that the locks will be perfect because they wont. At least with black hair or darker hair it is camouflauged. In all honesty I saw three gray hairs in my temple area on the right side and my my sister told me she noticed my gray hair on the left. Imagine my surprise when she said that because I was only noticing one side and she pointed out that it was on both. The lil curly area in the front was gray and I wasn't having it. I am not ready for the gray hair just yet. Nope not yet!!


I used two boxes of the Textures and Tones color because the last time I colored one box is definately not enough. One box was enough when I had a relaxer but not with locks. It took me 30 minutes to apply it and I left it in for the recommended time.


Dang as I look at those pics all I can see is that dang bump that I had to go and mess with on my forehead. I scar very easily so I have to keep my hands out of my face or I will break out.

I locked my hair in Jan '08. I have been locked for 17 months! On lots of my posts I usually give estimates of the time I have been locked but everyone is so precise so I said I guess I should be too.

A Great School Year


































































The school year is finally over for the kids however not for me. I will continue to work through the summer. This past weekend I went to Atlanta to see my little sweetie graduate from High School Clayton County Schools in spite of the issues they continue to have. She was in 7th grade when I moved and I promised her that I would make it to her graduation because she was always asking when I was coming back so I had to keep my promised.It was fun seeing all of my girlfriends and shopping and doing grown up things without the kids. I went shopping, went to friends homes for food and spirits(if ya know what I mean). I really miss ATL. I laughed a whole lot and got to be my true self (loud &, silly willy) . I would post pics of my friends but I am sure they do not want to be all over the internet so I won't put them out there. (ok I will call some and see if its ok)The difference between Atl and Texas to me is that in Atl people are friendlier because no one is really from their and true friendships occur at work unlike here in Texas where they tend to visit only family and talk to only family.. So lame in my opinion. I missed the get togethers. Thanks ladies for the fun weekend.


I have put pics of the boys during their awards day programs. I am so proud of them. My oldest scored commendable on all three areas of TAKS tests as he recieved honors for the A honor roll and my little one recieved an award for best grades also.



The summer should be interesting. I have never worked in the summer before so I will c how it is.



I am getting my hair re-ti on Friday. I just freestyled the whole weekend and let the steam from the shower plump them up and since they needed a re-ti they were extra thick looking. I cant stand how they look right after a fresh reti. I didn't bring lock loops cuz I didn't want to be bothered and by the late early mornings I was getting to bed I knew I wasn't going to roll any hair .
