I think I'm starting to leave the bushy stage...

As I said before, my hair is looking and feeling longer. YAY! Other good news -- it's starting to hang down more and losing that BUSH look. I LOVE that. It was getting HUGE and feeling a bit unwieldy. I really like where it's going now. The photo below isn't the best, but gives you an idea.

It's getting longer...

finally! Just some fresh pics. One thing I will say, my little curls on the ends...like you see on the loc in front of my face, are starting to totally close up. Fewer and fewer boingy ends. Ah well, it's a journey. Will miss them.

Moms are so wonderful!!!

So, I ask my mom if she might have a few scarves she no longer needs. I feel the need to tame my hair a bit. She breaks out with scarves galore. Now I feel so much better. I look cute and my hair isn't in my face. Check out my new look!

Interesting Natural Hair is an Entertainment News Story...

Just happened to notice the hullabaloo over Viola Davis wearing natural hair to the Oscars. I guess I should be happy it is being celebrated and not panned. Just odd...that people would find it shocking we'd actually wear our hair...(gasp!)...natural!

Lots and lots of hair...

You know, I know I've complained in the past about people noticing how much hair I have. But I really DO have a ton of hair. I guess I have been so focused on what it will be like to have long hair, that I didn't really have a plan for long, '80s big hair. So, it's time for scarves. Just pretty, simple ones that will help me manage it a little better. Or maybe some more headbands. Think I'll pop over to etsy.com. Always cute stuff over there. Will show you once I make my purchases!

14 Months...and counting

My hair has started to calm down at the top, but it's still pretty thick. My gracious consultant weathered a snow storm to give me a re-tightening. I know she was cursing me out as it took her around 2 hours to get home -- normally takes her 45 minutes. But as my husband and I are making plans for a trip soon and I'm also going to a conference in New York, I really, REALLY needed her to help me out. I think I just lost my get out of jail free card though. Anywho...below are the latest picks after a fresh re-tightening.

 

My Lioness Mane...

Lately, people have been commenting about how HUGE my hair is. That's the latest. "What are you going to do with it when it gets longer..." I've been hearing that  A LOT. The answer? Love every minute of it. The kinkier and puffier it gets, the more I love it. So there! :)
