For Better Or Worse

Ladies thank you all for your advice over the last two posts but l have done some serious thinking and have come to a conclusion. Knowing me this light bulb moment will only last a few days but its how im feelin right now so i'm gonna go with that

So, here is Ezmes masterplan... i'm gonna see Sabs on the 13th but before that i'm going to invest in one of the loc keys that Cammalocks are selling.

Can you see where this is going?????????????

Unlike most of you, for me each retightening has turned into some type of installation and i don't know if you have noticed from the pics of me but i have big eyes...huge in fact and those eyes have been watching the pattern that has been going on in my head.

What can i say ... it aint rocket science is it??

And if i can be on hand to catch the locs before they completely slip out then its a bonus for me. Soooooooooooo after the next retightening im gonna have a try of a bit of DIY hopefully and i do say hopefully sticking to the pattern that has already been started. (If not then there is alot of advice out there on youtube full of sistah doin it for themselves).

Does that mean i no longer have SL's????........

....... with my answer being.............

Do i really care, as long as my locs are healthy, growing and something that i am proud to have invested in!!!

If i can get the hang of this self retightening then its all good and i more than likely will pop back to see Sabs and have a touch up but if i can't get the hang of it then its off to a new consultant. Because come Jan i will be at my six months mark and i really cannot see the results that not only i think i should have but what all this money, travel and effort should have produced!!

She is Lovely

I just spoke to Marie from Cammalocks and unfortunately she has a long list for everything from consulting to retightening to installation......very busy + in demand = must be DAMN GOOD!!

Anyho what a lovely person to speak to. She simply sends such beautiful and calming sensations down the phone it is unbelievable. Why didn't i just hold on and have her do my hair...and the funny thing is that i was on her waiting list and the day she called me i was already half way through my installation.

All i know is i don't care how long i have to wait (she said something about March) i am gonna try and make this lady become my permanent loctition...for real!!!

Now guys the big question is do i go back to Sabs for the meantime or do i continue to look for someone new. Bearing in mind that i the season of good will is upon us...will there be and availability out there for me. My next session is booked for the 13th.

Maybe i'm gonna have to talk it out with Sabs...bwoy i better carry plenty of cammomile tea with me for that!!

The beginnings of Trainee v Trained

Hello again...long time no see, type or read!!
So what has been happening with Ezme over the last month and a half. Well i've had another retightening that can u believe it had to be broken up into 2 sesssions because it was taking too long. 9hrs in total and then she booked the next session for 6 weeks time instead of 4, making the front where the slippage is worst have to wait 8 weeks till its done. This whole hair saga is beginning to be the bain of my life. I'm starting to think that i need a second opinion. I don't like to think that i'm doubting my Sabs but f**k it i really am. I'm trying to take that she is still a trainee into consideration and i do have very soft hair, maybe she has given me the wrong pattern or maybe............... I'm just clutching at staws right now but i am sure that the retightening sessions are meant to take less time not to increase by each visit. I wonder if she's doing it like that because she is strapped for cash mmmmmmmmmmm I wonder.
Well maybe i'll have to go back to the original person i wanted to do my locks and that is Marie from Cammalocks. I think what i'm gonna do is book a retightening session or just maybe a consultation with her and see what she has to say about the matter, espeacailly as she has had years of expperiance. Like i said i don't like to doubt my loctician but something cannot be right here. What to you lot out there think??? I would post some pics of my locs but parts of it are starting to look like i'm wearing an afro!!! And i f i can't stand to look at it i don't see why you would!

My Computer is SICK!!!

Hey there all and how have u been doing??? I'm so sorry that i haven't holla'd at anyone but my computer is sick and is at the computer doctors as we speak...or should that be as i type.
So this is just a quick explanation of my disappearance and i will be back with all of you very soon...fingers crossed!!!
Wishing that you all Stay Blessed and Loc'd!! (mwah mwah)

Back to Uni

After taking almost 18mths out i am sooooooo happy and relieved to be going back. I met this random woman the other day and she approached me asking why i am not creating anymore. Bear in mind i have never seen this woman before in my life. She told me that i was wasting a talent and i should go back and finish what i was doing. When i questioned her a bit futher she explained that sometimes she had something to say to people for whatever reason and that if she didn't the thought would bug her until it comes out. If you've read my tagg then you know i can relate. Well i told her it was my every intention to go back and complete my degree. I'm not sure what i'm gonna do with my degree all i do understand is this wher my talent lies.

She also mentioned that i would get far on project catwalk........well.... i dont know about that.

My problem is i have always been a perfectionist and therefore never feel that anything that i have completed is good enough, there are always improvements and i am my worst critic. Anyway we will see....I think about it!!

(oh these are some garments that i designed and made a few years back)

Braid OUt!!!!!

Hey Everyone, can i first congratulate all those who have just loc'd up. Shout outs to N1 and Angel Locs... you have come along way ladies and the journey is just beginning....... Lovin your locs!!!

Back to the matter at hand. I've had a few requests to start styling espeacially from friends who know me and know i can almost turn my hand to anything creative but i have become stuck. The last time i went for retightening the majority had slipped right out except for the little balls at the end of each loc holding them together. (see one of the many balls below)

I'm not scared more like petrified. Like i said i can't really afford to keep on retightening and repairing a whole head. Anyho i did the braid out just to see what it would look like but Ladies and gents i didn't do anything more than that (trying to keep the hands outta the head!!!)

I plaited around 25 plaits to try and get a really kinky curl after i had washed and seperated, ensuring that the hair was damp.

Here are the results:

What a Difference

I wasn't planning to post anything more this week but i washed my hair and i cannot believe the difference. Look i'm smiling.....i hardly ever take a pic with a smile on my face and here i am beaming. Trust me my locs have never looked so straight and individual after being washing.

My hair looks GREAT...WOW!!!!

Even Shan has been compilmenting it and i could tell he was beginning to have his doubts due to the amount of slippage i had been experiancing.

How nice to have a man who shares his opinons (sometimes too often and too brutal but nonetheless... its shared!

Just for those of you who don't know what i'm talking about here are a few pics for you to compare.

Below are a couple of pics after my first ever SL wash, Some serious curls going on huh?

What a massive difference (maybe i am exaggerating a tiny bit but i'm excited so leave me to it! lol) in the space of a matter of months...from the beginning ofAugust to the end of September
