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...
