Life Before Locs



These photos were taken at the beginning of the summer in 2006. That was the beginning of the end for my nice, healthy, long full head of hair.


As the summer progressed, my hair started coming out in clumps. This was a normal daily hair loss amount for me. I couldn't comb through my hair without ending up in tears.



By the end of Fall 2006, my entire hairline ws totally chewed up and the hair throughout my head was considerably thinner.




So, I did what I thought was best... I cut it off with hopes that it would come back long and strong. Little did I know that my hair loss was a predecessor to the shock of my life.

Introduction

Allow me to introduce myself! Tinyblu was a name given to me "back in the day" when I pledged Zeta Phi Beta because of my petite size. The name kinda stuck.

This is my first blog, so I apologize in advance for errors (smile)! It is my hope that this blog inspires / informs others about my personal ups and downs with sisterlocks as well as serves as a vehicle for encouragement from other members of the SL family. Feel free to add comments. I look forward to getting to know you all!
