April 2017 Update

Hey hey, how ya doin?

It is SO interesting how, every time I think about blogging (or vlogging) more about Bradelocz, it’s just like…

“Eh… what’s to say?”

I’ve said this before but, back in the day when I first began this journey, it was all fun & excitement.

It was fresh & new.

It was different because I was new to natural hair after having lived that relaxer life for so many years.

So back then, I had a lot to report about this wonderful new journey I had embarked upon!

I mean, I documented EVERY-thing and back then, we didn’t have bloggers & vloggers talking much about locking, especially not using BRAIDS to do it.  That’s how & why the Bradelocz ebook came about.  It was pretty much the ONLY source of information on starting locs from braids.

Yep, those were the good ‘ole days.

But this SECOND go’round?

Cherie’s Update 2013

Happy New Year!

Yes, it is now January 2014 but I realized that I owed you an update from 2013.

In a previous post, I mentioned my daughter taking some pics of me but that didn’t happen as planned so… I had to kind of take matters into my own hands but it didn’t happen until December as opposed to November! lol

Anyway, I really don’t have much to say except, as I’ve said before this go-round with my Bradelocz has been a great deal smoother and less “stressful”.  I mean, when I started my very first set back in the early 2000’s, it was my first time so of course, I was anxious and always concerned about every little thing.

But now that I’m an “old pro” at this locking thing, it’s not that big of a deal.  So rather than bore you with a lot of verbiage, I will just dazzle you with pics! 🙂

I think that a LOT of growth has taken place since last year as you’ll see… (click to enlarge if need-be) [Read more…] about Cherie’s Update 2013

Cherie’s Update 2012

It’s been exactly twenty-three months since I RE-started my Bradelocz journey. Next month marks year two of my new set.

They’re coming along nicely and I’m learning new things about my hair and myself.

Anyway, I’m loving my new set of Bradelocs! Here are a few pics so you can see what they look like so far…

Cherie’s 6-Month Update

Hey everybody!

Well, it has now been 6 months since I started my NEW Bradelocz journey!  My last update was at 3 months.

I was just sitting here feeling my locs and I notice that they are locking up MUCH faster than they did the first go ’round.  I can only attribute it to the fact that my hair was and still is in “locking mode” after I removed the first set, during the short interim where I wore my hair loose (this was evident whenever I attempted to wear a 2-strand twist style…they would start to lock up on me) and now…my hair hasn’t forgotten what it had been “trained” to do for 9 whole years!
