You Planted the Seed

I have made a concession regarding this blog--every once in a while it will be taken over by my natural hair blogging alter-ego and serve as my very own hair photo album. I can't get on facebook, and I need a place to share pics of my "good hair" days. This happens to be one of them. For the past week, a few acquaintances have asked me to wear my hair out. My answer to this was simply a flat out "NO!". Do they know how much effort must be put in to wear my hair down? And yet today I've acquiesced. I got the itch this morning, and I fought hard not to scratch it. I don't wear my hair completely out unless I get that feeling. This morning it it me hard. Its this restless, unsettling feeling I get when I look at the coif in the mirror. Anyway I took it out in the bathroom at the Library, because I just couldn't take it any longer. I was hoping that I didn't come out looking like two different people, and that the other students wouldn't notice my metamorphoses. Here are a few pics.

If you can't tell by now, I'll admit that I certainly do think I'm cute lol . I was feeling myself :)

Loc it up!

Ok, I have a secret obsession with loc'd hair. I'm absolutely enamored with it! Notwithstanding this affinity, I don't actually want to loc my hair, for fear that once I do I won't be able to take them out. I mean the name does say it all, once you loc up you throw away the key. The only thing that vaguely resembles one are scissors and a pair of clippers. And I'm just not feeling that right now. Though I do fantasize about fading it up too. I think I'll do that once I reach my waist length hair goal. Anyway, I digress, in the meantime I'll assuage my longing to channel my inner Bob by styling my twists in styles typically marketed for loc'd hair. Today was my first official effort.  The style isn't the best but I tried. The view is better in the front, as opposed to the sides. I wish I had a scarf to cover the back, lol. I'm not doing anything else to it for 3 days, until I moisturize and restyle. I need a break from this hair!!
