I'm not even going to do a long intro, let's get to the real!
- My hair is locking and budding like crazy!! Last month I showed you pics of the nape of my neck that had started to bud and shrink up and lock. Now the entire back of my hair is like that. I have several buds along all of the braids in the back, some are stiff from root to tip. Those locks that kept coming undone... are locking! Even the one I had to put the rubberband on. Took it off and it's locking baby!!
- If this is the ugly stage, I can't tell!! I love my hair! It always looks good, even if it's not exactly how I planned. The versatility is AMAZING!! I wear it straight down, I do braidouts, I rock a high bun... the sky has been the limit with my styles. I've done more styles in the last 4 months of locks than I ever did in the entire 2 years I was natural before them. I'm enjoying it so much!
- The craziness has died down. In October, I was on 10 with excitement. I would still say I'm at an 8, but I am no longer just hype about anything locks, or even the steps for my own. I have calmed down on pictures. I took 212 pics of my hair in October (IKR!!)...February I took 68. I've started to develop my routine. More on that in another post.
- I've done my 3rd retightening and I like how it looks, 6 weeks seemed like a good cycle for me so I'll be sticking with that. Even the fat crazy locks have still been able to fit through the eye of my needle, so that went smoothly. Pretty sure I have the technique down now.
- Creeping still annoys the hell out of me. It's like once I have any amount of new growth, they start hugging. But still, I'd rather pop locks, than detangle loose hair!!
- Frizz... It's still frizzy, but either it's not as bad as it used to be or it has stopped bothering me. I can't really tell which it is and I don't care enough to investigate. lol Frizzy or not, I like it.
- They still look like braids in the front. The front looks like the back did 2 months ago. And that's fine because it doesn't look at lumpy and crazy around my face yet.
Now I'm going to give you the pics. I'll be back soon with some style posts, I've been taking pictures!!
