As the time is steadily approaching i am beginnig to feel the nerves. This is not the first time i have attempted to put locks in my head and i am hoping its the last. Back in the mid - late nineties i tried the traditional locks and even took myself to a locticians shop to have them done.
I had to wash it and leave it for 2 days before the appointment and then they palmed rolled the hair and saturated it in oil. Now, my hair loves oil, it goes crazy just at the whisper of the word because it can go all soft, curly and unravel from any style you tried to put it in, so that was £50 down the drain, but did i learn NO, i went back and tried again and .....well you guessed it!!. My next trick was just to leave it and let it lock and then split the hair so i'll have the individual locks. Now i have had the beautiful experiance of giving birth, enduring a drug free labour in my home, i have had an ectopic pregnancy and my fallopian tube rupture inside of me and NOTHING and i mean N.O.T.H.I.N.G compared to the pain of trying to split locks, so out came the clippers and i shaved that mess off. So i am concerned that it wont work eventhough i know it will, I'm just anxious or nervous.
I've also been combing my hair more and feeling its texture as i know once them locks are in those days will be done!! Its not like i've ever enjoyed playing in my hair its just that i know that its something i won't be able to do AGAIN!
However saying all of that i still cannot wait till next friday (nor can Trevor, i think i'm starting to get on his nerves " mi cyan wait fi friday and dem dyam brudderlocs trus mi!!").
