Don't wash in anger

I have been hesitant to post in this blog due to what happened in my life after I quit my other online journal. Good things began to happen in my life as soon as I stopped telling everything to the virtual world. Now I'm thinking that if I stop posting in this blog, my locs will look beautiful. Call me crazy or superstitious...

Anyway, I washed my hair and palm rolled my hair tonight. I was planning on during it tomorrow morning when I would have more time. But no, I let my impulses get the best of me. My neighbor was making crazy noise. I got pissed and decided that I was going to wash it tonight. Maybe I am crazy.

Right now my hair is frizzy but at least it is clean! Part of me knows that I should have just waited until tomorrow. I would have had more time to make sure I palm rolled my locs correctly. Tonight I sort of rushed because I wanted to make sure it would be dry by bed time. I hope it looks better when I wake up tomorrow.

I still plan to go to a professional. I just have so many things to do. I don't know where "hair" falls. Thinking about everything I have to do just gets me all stressed out so I just make lists...I did find a braid/loc salon less than 3 minutes from my house. How long has it been there? Probably forever and I just noticed it. I thought they only did braids. Today I noticed the word "locks" on the window. Should I go there? Or should I go to the downtown place? I called them when I was considering sisterlocks. The salon is known to be good but she has more than one salon so catching her for an appointment might not be easy. Or should I go to the out of town place that sounds divine? It would probably take me two hours to get there. Two hours for hair???

I can't decide anything right now.

Good news, bad news

I am happy to report that I washed and palm rolled my hair on Saturday. It looks okay BUT (of course there is going to be a but), I need help with this separating roots thing. I thought I "popped my locks" after I washed my hair but when I went to palm roll, I noticed that some of my hair was still intertwined. I tried to pick apart what I could...

I got a raise at work :-), so I can afford to go to the salon. I think I will go in October or November. I would love to just wait until November but I'm scared of long term damage. ::Sigh:: I don't know what I'm going to do. I have one salon in mind. This place only opens on Saturdays and Sundays. If for some reason I can't go there, I may have to go out of town. I would rather not do that but I will do anything to not ruin my hair forever. I know I'm too worried about this but I've heard stories of people with locks for 3 or 4 years and they have to start over for some reason (thin roots, mildew etc.)

Btw, the Jamaican Mango & Lime Gel for Resistant Hair (or whatever) worked fine. I will keep using it.
