I know I'm a horrible blogger for being gone for so long, but summer is my favorite season and I try to spend as much of it outside with my family as possible. But I'm here now, so let's get to what's really important... the hair!!
I hit 10 months yesterday! I was happy and nonchalant at the same time. The overall excitement has worn off for me, which I actually think is a good thing. It means that my locs aren't new to me anymore. They are another part of myself that I just expect to be there like my fingernails or eyelashes. :) To be honest, I hit 3 years natural on 8/18 and didn't even remember until a couple of days later. For someone who spent the first 2 years consumed by my hair and various products, the fact that I forgot was a moment of pride for me.
Here's a couple of pics of what my hair is looking like at 10 months.

| Back view - still got a couple of braids in there. :) |
Ponytail... I don't usually wear this out of the house, but I still sleep like this most nights.
Random basketweave. I do this a lot when I want my hair out of my face.
So I know you're like what the heck does lemonade have to do with her hair?
Well tomorrow I'm going to a wedding. My plan was to spend 2 days this week tightening my hair. It's been about 9 weeks since the last time I've tightened. (What can I say... it's summertime and I'm lazy! lol) So I got through about 1/4 of my hair and then my yarn needle broke! So rather than keep buying things that will break, I ordered a nappylocs tool. Great...except it won't be here until sometime next week. So in the meantime, I decided to try a retwist. I don't normally do that because I wash my hair about every 3 days so it would be a waste of time, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

So that's what's up with my hair. I promise that it won't be 2 months before I update again!!
