My daughter loves the versatility she has with her locs! She never liked the plastic barrettes and bows, but I’m the mom lol! All little girls need to wear a few bows and barrettes to get the certified little girl stamp.
Since she started her loc journey she’s thrilled that I no longer braid her hair every 2/3/4 weeks "basically" when the style starts to look a mess . She still loves her pigtails.
She love the fact that she can still wear loose natural hair styles

Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Water 💦 (Babyhair) That shine tho! It will be gone once she gets out of school lol. Headband
Hi!
It’s been a few months since I post a blog about work from home opportunities. I’m back! I'm happy to
share new job post ! Remember to apply asap! Jobs go quickly!
Her hair was freshly washed and this was a last minute attempt. The next time we will do the bun on dry hair and just spritz it with water. We try our best to not go to sleep with wet locs. It’s a big NO NO!
(AFTER )
We used a headscarf at night to lay her edges down. I only use EXTRA VIRGIN OIL. I learned that this is the only oil that works for both of our hair. It’s light, but it does a great job. We don’t use any edge control. I am the only one who styles her hair. When she’s with her Dad I try to help her remember the things we do when she’s with me. It’s hard, but I tell her spritz her locs with water, put a headband on and wear it down.
I won’t be doing a loc bun often because she’s at the beginning stage and we don’t need tension on her edges.
She loved her bun and she was amazed that her roots looked like loose natural hair.
Kidswithlocs is a #hashtag that I follow on Instagram. Under this hashtag you can find so many pictures of kids wearing Locs! Now you can find JNaeTV too! 💕
I was shocked that my daughter wanted locs. Of course she took interest in my starter loc journey, but she was really fascinated with straight hair.
Before we committed to her loc journey I asked her what did she want me to do to her hair because once it locs up it’s going to take time to comb them out or last result... cut her hair. She requested box braids
and wanted me to straighten her hair.
However, once she saw pictures of people growing their locs from childhood age to adult she was amazed. I gave in 💕 I asked her about 20 times if she still wanted them and her answer was YES. She tells me all the time she loves her locs because she doesn’t need a comb lol 😂 Her faves and loc hair goals:
Mom life definitely keeps me busy and now the death of my brother has taken a toll. I’m absolutely not giving up, but I’m going through it.
Grieving. It’s natural.
You’re probably weathering your own storms. Guess what? We can do this! I tend to disappear when things happen in my life and I don't want to do that this time around. The last time something devastating happened I stayed away from YouTube and my blog. I actually enjoy them both. So much happened while I was away. It’s a hobby that I enjoy. My brother wouldn't want me to stop doing what I love.
I love him! I miss him!
Remember him with me 💙
The last conversation I had with him was in the parking lot of Burger King in Hoover, Alabama. The kids were excited to see “Uncle Man”. They hugged and we took pictures. The conversation was going so well that he said he would follow us to the park with the kids to talk more. That was different, but I said Yes sure. We talked about the kids and I moving back home to Alabama. I’ve lived in the DMV area for 10 years. I started getting homesick a year ago, but I needed to make sure that it was real. It’s real.
Officially homesick.
The kids and I have met some amazing people in the (DMV )friendships for life, but they also show a different side when they are in Alabama. It’s always a cry fest when we leave. I never thought I would get to that point that I am ready to go.
My brother told me that I was a good mom and that he missed me. He said sis you look so happy! I was like really ☺️. He said come home sis.
(Text sent later that night to me from my brother )
We sat at the park on the bench while my children and their cousins played. We talked about jobs, life and the future. It was a happy moment. He was so happy. I didn’t know that JUNE 2018 would be the last time I saw him physically. We hugged and I said I love you and see you next time I’m in town. I watched him drive off in his car until his car left my eyesight and I never do that because I expected to see him again. Look at God💙
