MR MESSIAH RE-TWISTING ROOTS

WED 22nd FEB ‘2023

I still cannot believe he has cut his Locs of... but hey he had been growing them for the last 8/9yrs and wanted to change 🤷‍♀️ I overstand!

Anyway he popped by as I was working on my 💻 & his jamds jumped straight in my hair 🤣 and started retwisting my roots🙈 I told him;

“Your hands are in mourning from no longer having his own locks to twist” 🤣

THANK DEE aka MR MESSIAH 🤗

But he can't beat my main male Loctition, Chi... who is the master at Locs, twisting, cutting and styling! Click this link below to see what I mean...

LOCS & WIG TREND

13th APRIL ‘2020

I came across my old wigs from a few years ago... miss changing my look but putting on a wig.

I have thought about buying some new ones, ‘bob lace type,’ and seeing how cut looked, with my Locs on show! 🤷‍♀️

Having found my old wigs, I tried out what I had considered trying... this new look, and I love it as it proves that you don’t need to be restricted with your hair/style just because you got Locs. 😍

1 of my friends on IG told me to start a #trend

CUT TO OWN LENGTH

28th MAY ‘2019

Today I decide to cut my (locs) down to my own hair length...below my shoulders 💁‍♀️as I’ve done 1 year and a half with it long thanks to adding hair to the ends.

My head feels so light I’m like wow... though i’d cut them down before it wasn’t that much of a change but it certainly wasn’t as long (down to my bum) so there was some difference.

But now I’m back to my own length and will be able to get myself some new wigs (miss the change) of being able to just put on and go... so let’s see what the remaining year holds and if i get any new looks. 💚

Filter lover too 🙌

THE TRIM | THEN & NOW

2nd MARCH ‘2019

@08:45am ~ Next mth (April) will be 2yrs since having my Locs... due to wanting a change & add length to my hair! But for a while (last year) I wanted to trim them down as my hair has grown a good bit and if I’m honest... sometimes the length just got on my nerves and got in the way 🤷‍♀️

Last night while Broadcasting live via my #bigo I picked up the scissors ✂️ and started trimming and FINALLY 🙄 I’ve done it 👏👏👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The only thing I need... is to have my tips added to the end, due to the (added hair) not colouring!!! So 🤞my locs stylist will be able to add this on for me, when I get my roots re-done & I can change up the colour of my previous tips (red & green) to something else! ☺️

Also today I have my first #steward shift with Knights Group Security who I have been training with for the last 3 nearly 4wks 😬 and can’t wait to get started with my SIA Training soon!!! Onwards, Upwards and New... that’s what it’s about - VARIETY (all day, everyday)

So it’s 09:18am now... so gonna get up, jump in shower, get sorted and wait for my 🤫Knighting Shining Armour 😘 (Obviously) 🇳🇬

West Ham ⚽️Game (London Stadium) c u soon.🙌

PS.

Thank you to Tony (owner) Jamie & Jim for all the training so far, your time and for welcoming me and my other course mates into the Knights Group Family💋

LOCS NOT DREADS

19th JAN ‘2019:

SUNDAY ROOTS & MUSIC

6th JAN ‘2019

It’s the 1st Sunday of the year and I’m slowly creeping into a new ‘age’ in 6 days... you can’t get more fresh than that!!! 😛

I ordered myself a birthday cake 🎂🤤👏 simply because I’m feeling for a cake... doing my research on-line and came across this superb site called;

Desserts Delivered Bakery

And their cakes look delicious, cool and collective 🤣 (not over the top) plus if the reviews are anything to go by... I know I’m not going to be disappointed 🤞

Will take a pic when it arrives next Sat!

I’m also meant to have my Dad come and have a LONG AWAITED (father/daughter) 😘 quality time... which I’ve not had since March, last year. 😳 So that would be a great birthday pressie to see him, cook, catch up and chill. 🤞

Being taken out on Fri 11th for a pub grub, drink and maybe some karaoke 🎤👏 so looking forward to that... with a new friend/fan 😋named Neil I got talking to via BIGO.

He is 1 of a few that I’ve meet on there (male & females) who are real, funny, interesting with great energy - it’s all about meeting new like-minded people. 💯

From about 1pm today I had my fab hairstylist/friend Chi... who does hair (Locs) come and work his wonder-hands and ship-shaped my roots. 🙏 👏 while listening to pure back-a-day tunes 🎶

While he was doing my hair I introduced him to Bigo and we were live for about an hour... it’s a great networking, socialising platform and I most def recommend it. ✔️

My head is fresh, my hair is growing and I’m in '2 minds' wither to trim my locs (a little) 🤷‍♀️ but I’m loving the length... but I think if I end up finding/getting a bad new ‘short wig’ then I will most def cut it down.

As it will still have length... to my back instead of at my bum 😛 we’ll see!!!

So I wanna say thank you Chi for your great service, speed and lovely voice (when singing) 😉

YOUNIQUE LOOK STUDIOS

01.02.2018:

I had a few new pics done at Younique Look Studios, which were recommended to me by my Agent @ (TMA).

It’s been years since I’ve been in a studio like this to do a shoot... but it was a nice change, great staff and had my photos taken by a Female Photographer 🙌🏾.

All I need now is to get new ‘Acting Headshots’ done, as I need ones taken with my fab Dreadlocks 😉

So here is 1 of the 4 new pics taken last Saturday and I 💚it... a big ✨THANK YOU ✨ to my lovely Agent (Emma) for sorting it out for me.

4th DEC ‘2017

I'M A JOKER... Had the roots of my locks redone aka interlocked and while speaking to RastaMama (my interlocking hairdresser) I realised for the last 8 months since deciding to DREAD my natural hair.

I've been telling anyone whose complimented or asked about my hair that it's not REAL 🤦🏾‍♀️ Errrr, hello... of course it's dam real because it's my hair!!!

🙄 My whole hair HAS been interlocked along with additional hair for length... Der to me!!!
