This pic was taken at my job. I work at a high school. It is a two strand twist out. With my hair damp i put some of Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter on it and put it in two stand twits all over my head. Then I go to sleep. In the morn, i simply take them out and finger comb the roots. I usually pin the right side of my hair back. This is b/c back in the day when I was addicted to the creamy crack, i burnt out some of the hair on the right side...it never grew back.

Here is a faux loc look. Thanks for the idea natural hair hermana Kana!
So here is how i did it...
First I shampooed and conditioned my hair. but instead of washing out the conditioner right away, leave it in. While the conditioner is still on your hari, twist it into locs. Then put a stocking on your head and rinse the conditioner out. YOu have to put a stocking over your hair so the locs will not wash out with the conditioner. Then, let it air dry and you will have baby locs for a week or two! I was asked so many times if I was Somalian with my hair like this...

My hair is still growing...still using the coconut oil. picking it out, tho only pick your hair out when it is wet! Dry picking will lead to major shedding and broken hairs.
oh yeah...guess what I was for halloween!!!!
Aug 2 and 12 2010
My hair looks kinda like a fro in this pic! Yea! At this point im using cocnut oil on my hair. Coconut oil is technically used for cooking, but i use it for my hair, my body, and for cooking, lol. It is great.
The first pic is me and my friend Habil...we were at a Tarrus Riley concert. The concert was awesome!

The BIG CHOP... 12/10/2008
I was tired of the flat irons, the no sweating, the no long, hot steamy showers, I was tired of straight hair. So...it had to go. At this point I was using gel and combing it back to make it kinda curly.
Beginning of my hair journey
This was in Philadelphia in 2008.
I was doing an internsip for the labor union UNITE Here!
Me and my labor union over lord Allen hernandez made a bet over a game of Tekken. I lost, and as part of the deal I had to straighten my hair.
I went to some hair salon in Philly...I dont know what kind of flat iron she used...but my hair could not go back to an afro! It had a permantly burnt smell and some of the strands would not go back kinky.
So, I had to cut it all off and start over....
Learn from me ladies...never bet and put your hair on the line.
