Can over grooming cause breakage ?

I was reading an article about locs and it stated that over grooming may cause breakage. So far I have not experienced problems with breakage. I need to hear from others that use roller setting, bantu knots or braiding for a textured look. Any feedback is appreciated.

Drum roll, the real me......

Getting my relaxed ends cut was a true revelation to me. I screamed for joy as I looked at myself for the first time with all natural hair. I loved it, but was sad at the same time. Sad because I missed so many years of being me. Finally I have reached a part of my life where I can be naturally me. I wish everyone could experience their natural hair for just one day. Then make a decision after you see the natural you.

There is nothing like it. It is liberating and uplifting, its beyond words.

Here is a picture while we were on our cruise. We had a terrific time.

Well, summer has came and sadly almost gone. Unbelievable....I enjoyed every minute though. This was my first summer wearing sisterlocks and vacation was a breeze. It was the first time I was not stressed about humility, rain or just plain frustrated about my hair. It was great swimming, traveling and playing in the rain. We had a great time in Jamaica and Cayman Islands. I can hardly wait unitl next summer.

Sisterlocks at 5 months. This is a wash and go. I didn't have time to roller set it. I still trim those relaxed ends. My hair is growing and is doing great no problems so far. No complaints. I love it more and more each day.
Helllo I have been tagged...I guess I am it...

I need to list 7 habits or qualities about myself and then notify those that tagged me. I was tagged by Chosenvessel and BlackRussian

1. I almost missed the love of my life. When my husband came for our first date I decided to stand him up. I just wasn't in the mood to date at that time. I told my sister to tell him I was not home. She came back and said you may not want to pass this one up, he has a nice car. We'll we have been married 19 years this June. He is my best friend and the love of my life. Glad I did not miss that date.

2. I have been working and teaching children for thirty years, either babysitting or Sunday school. I currently teach in a private preschool that is set up in my home. I am a Montessori teacher (hands on learning approach). I love kids

3. I am an avid reader, if I could spend my day reading I would. I have books all over the place, especially beside my bed.

4. I have homeschooled both my of children, I have a son who is 21 and a daughter who is twelve. My son is currently going to school to be a nurse and loves caring for others. My daughter is very caring too. I imagine she will work in a field that will allow her to exercise that gift.

5. I love animals of all kinds and I would love to bring them all home. I currently have 3 dogs and 1 turtle. That is all my husband will allow.

6. I am taking Spanish and violin lessons. It is never to late to learn.

7. When I first got my sisterlocks I use to wake up and think what have I done ? I knew I made the right decision, but sometimes I was shocked that I actually did it. Now when I wake up I am happy that I no longer have to alter my hair, no other culture does that. I am happy to be nappy.
