Haute Dreads!!

Okay, I know I keep telling y'all I love my hair... but seriously!! It's amazing!!


This is going to be a quick style post. This is how I'm wearing my hair today.  Yesterday, I was surfing youtube (as I'm sure you do too lol)  and I searched for "short to medium length dreadlocks."  This video came up:



I loved it and the video was only 8 minutes long so I though I could achieve it.

I ended up with this:


This was my first time pinning bangs, loved it!!


So this morning, I decided to get a little creative and turn this into an updo.    I came up with this:

5 Golden Months!!!

4 random locks,
3 ponytails,
2 sprouts and buds
and a baby lock with no rubberbands!!!  :)


Hello everyone!

I hit my 5th month and I'm still loving my hair. I pretty much like the way I look every single day. I haven't had a day where I've felt my hair looked bad.  I've had some styles I've had to adjust, but even with its locking craziness.... my hair is fly y'all!!

The back is definitely deep into the locking process.  They are stiff and the ends are heavy.  They are either swollen and full the entire length of the lock, or they are in several places along them.

The back!  I love the texture in this pic.



The front and sides.... not so much. They still look like braids all the way until you get to the part where I've latched. They are definitely thicker than they were 5 months ago, but most of them still look  brand new.  Not really sure how that will turn out, but I like how it looks now. *shrug* Hopefully it will get with the program, but if not, it'll grow out in a few years anyway.


Still looking like braids!!


I've got a style post and a product post coming up this month.  My hair has been super dry lately so I'm cutting back on the shampooing and I ordered Qhemet Biologics Olive & Honey Hydrating Balm and the Burdock Root Butter. The OHHB was one of my fav products with loose hair, so I'm thinking it might be helpful here. I was a little worried about build up but I contacted the company and they assured me it would be okay.


Here's another pic!  I'm out!!
