13 months in....

Okay these are my thoughts on being thirteen months...
I am finally getting that itch to do something drastically different to my hair... I told myself when I started that I would never ever color my locks because my hair is so funny acting, and I fear breakage. They really need some special attention...For the past weeks I have been covering them because standing in the mirror at seven months is just not in my plans...needless to say I haven't ordered my lock loops or soft spikes yet =( This has been me the past week....




This was the braidout I attempted...





I have been thinking of getting my locks extended know that I am settled in and locked...I don't want anything long..Honestly just and inch..maybe two tops. But I am feeling like I stopped wearing extensions or anything in my hair because I didnt feel it was me...I do think it will make me a little happier and give me a little more versatility...What do you think? Anyone out there have loc extensions or have tried them? If so what was your experience? Thanks...

Is that Color?

I finally took some time away from my school work to actually plug up the digital camera I have had since April. It is such a shame I haven't had enough time to be diligent enough to get these photos on my computer. After the entire summer I finally have enough energy to upload them. As I was looking through some of them today i noticed that my hair has a slight tint to it. I don't know if it is hereditary, or from maybe perming my hair for so many years, but there is defnitely color to my hair. I knew my hair wasn't black, but this is new to me. Here is a look at a pic from my hair at one year months and from my hair at 8 months...




This is pretty odd to me... But I like it... I had been a little discouraged lately because my hair is sooo tightly coiled that you barely notice that I have gained any length..However a few things I have noted is that I have a few new locs coming in from my last reti, I have never lost a loc, and I haven't had any real nightmares with my hair, and after only a year of being locked my loctician informed me that for the most part my hair is locked...I still have balls coming off the ends of my locs.....


But i guess that is part of the locking process... I tried a braidout the other day...didn't really work too well for me, so I am going to try some lock loops. This year I look foward to being able to finally have some length of course, and being able to try more styles... we will see...
