Happy Holidays!



































Many thanks to all who read my blog, and before I take a "Blog-Vacation" I wanted you to know that it means so much to me! *Hugs*

Here is another view of my {holiday} hair. I did a roller set {again}. Sat under dryer 2 hours.

The above pictures are from the last few days, and I am wearing the grey shirt today. {first pic taken today}

One of my aunts asked if this was all my hair, and I said {in my mind} one day it will be!

Take Care Everyone~

Alternative Hair Bow for Up-Do




































I got the idea from NP Loc Forum. :)
The plastic ones keep breaking, but I
like them. {pictured right with tape to
hold the broken pieces together}

The above pics show my
hair with the Kntting Needles {Knit-Bow}.
{The hair in the back is NOT in Ext. }

Another B-4 and After Pic


















The picture on the left was 2 yrs. ago.
The one on the right was 10 days ago.
I think I lost a "little" weight too! I was
really going through "issues" at home.
Actually, I just wanted to show you my
pretty *smile* No, the real deal, is just
another shot at the beginning of my
braidlocks. I really did not like the way
they started looking {left} and I made a
choice a few months later, took a risk, and
so far, I am happy with my choice. {right}
Soon, my own hair will be this length {right}.
I do not apologize for making myself happy.
Short hair is not for everyone.
I plan to take more pics next week, and
this winter. I hope they come out nice.
Take Care~

Tools of the Trade (Maybe)



Greetings!



I found out about this on YouTube

{Thanks - NubianLockedPrincess }

I decided to make a few. I used one of them
to retighten a few locks. They took a minute
longer than when I used my crochet hook. I
don't know what "some" people have against
the hook, I guess I gotta learn the hard way.
{but from previous pics, you see I have no
problems using it} I got them cut down so
they are not the size of my actual crochet
hooks.
Everyone talks about doing a 3 pt. or 4 pt.
rotation. I just go North, East, South, West,
and repeat if needed {meaning that one lock
may have more new growth than another}.
Some will say: 12 noon, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, but
it is the same. Whether you go in a clockwise,
or counter-clockwise motion the KEY IS:
Do NOT go in the same direction twice, three
times, this will cause the locks to split apart.
*Yawning* Okay, that is all for now. Take Care~

Back Already? more pics

















After having some great pics disappear
due to computer sickness! {virus}
I made the choice not to wait on more
updated pictues. I took these pictures
today! It is one month since the
retightening {"Re-Ti"} so the parts
are not very scalpy.
After being under the dryer for
two hours, most of my hair{ext.}
was dry and held curls. I hope
everyone can see the pictures
well.

Updates from Oct. 2009














Before "Re-Ti"
















After "Re-Ti"




















Before























After

*Sigh* I had more pics to show
but my computer crashed, and
I lost some very good pictures
of my hair after a "re-ti" {retightening}.

My hair {Alone, NOT the ext.} has been
in braidlocks for 2 yrs. now. It will be
two years for the ext. a few months
from now.


What IS Good Hair?

Well, I saw the movie, and mom talked through
the entire movie, and let me tell ya! I do not want
to attend a hair show. It is soooo not me.
To me "good hair" means hair that is healthy
and growing!

One More Look B 4 Fall 2009:


I promised a picture of my hair where I removed
the ext. hair. Well, I did five over the past few
weeks. The two on the bottom I re-braided the ends.
That is why the last few inches look so thin.
The one on the top shows the crinkles from the ext.
This is the only picture I have at this time that I took
this evening. It will be several months before all of
them are removed, but I plan on it! :)
The five above are a combination of curiousity and
boredom. *Yawning*
I will lurk/surf around next month to see how others
are doing.
*Now back to watching The Matrix Reloaded*
~Take Care~ *2nd Yawn*
