Making Lemonade

Hello all!!

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.

It actually came out pretty good!! 

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

Texture shot!!

Until the next time, keep it nappy y'all!

*flips locs*  Deuces!!
