Oh oh oh....

I can NOT believe that it's already been over 8 months since I started this dreaded funtasticness! I thought I'd update with some pics, since I haven't in a while.

Along with the dreads maturing, I've lost a little bit of weight too. In fact, I've lost a total of 22lbs since whenever it was I started actually working out and such last year!! I am THRILLED! I'll be joining up with a boot camp next week that's run by a coworker, so I'm looking forward to a bunch of weight falling off faster in the next few weeks. Go team me! *highfive*

On to the pictures!!

Err...sorry about the blurriness. It's time for a new camera, methinks.


Ffffffffff!! I LOVE how fat they're getting! I have the hardest time keeping my hands out of the top of my head. The texture feels glorious!! It's like...velvet!


I actually wasn't in that good of a mood when I took these pictures, hence the "I'm kinda not really smiling" smile.

They take such an incredibly long time to dry now. Oh! I had my first stranger-in-my-bubble experience regarding my hair. This woman PET MY HAIR in a (get this) costume shop in early December. Literally reached up, pet my hair, and in broken english told me that "eet sooo pret-ty and so soff."

Thanks for reading and looking!!

Day 14

Sooo, I'm doing alright with the twists. The first set started to pull out, so I decided to go ahead and take them down this past Thursday.

No fear though, I put them right back in. This time, I wanted to make them smaller and longer, which lead to a 12 hour twisting session. The fact that my thumb had a pretty good cut on it from working metal didn't help at all. D: But it's done, and I think it looks pretty good. :D

Day 3

When I woke up this morning, my entire silk scarf had come off of my head. No worries though, seeing as how I slept pretty peacefully otherwise. :D I should just get a silk pillowcase and save the trouble of trying to keep anything on my head at night.

I'm now looking for a good deep conditioner and leave in for my hair. I'm already itchy!! D:

Day 2

So, I managed to finish my kinky twists, and it was a terribly long ordeal.

I learned a lot though! Next time, I'll probably use different hair, and make them a loooot longer.

So, here's a picture of the finished hair:




I tried roller setting the ends, but that was quite unsuccessful. D: Oh well! I'll try again today some time.
