And Dude! I've got a lot of hair! *LOL* I untwisted the twisties (cuz they were starting to get fuzzy after a week of sleeping/wetting/scarfing them, and I've got just like - hair EVERYWHERE. I didn't expect it to be so, so - expansive. It's like - POOOF. It's still soooo dry though - Ah! I need to go to the Beauty Supply spot and - ah! Sears should have a good toolkit if I can't get one at the local hardware store - but I need to go to the Beauty Supply store and get some moisturizer for my hair.
And maybe a deep conditioner too....cuz my hair is PARCHED from the chemical fandango I put it through. Thankfully, because the locs actually DID protect the ends of my hair, this head of hair is most likely the healthiest I've ever had - I don't have a SINGLE split end - and I want to keep it that way. *scratches head* It's so cool to have hair again. Remind me of this when I start bitching about it in about a month or two.

I'd now like to show ya'll some pictures that demonstrate the amazing transformation that is part and parcel of becoming a homeowner and moving within the same week. Now - to let ya'll know - when I'm stressed, I pick apart my locs. And every May - without fail - I do something radical to my hair.

So.

Before moving - looking like who did what, and Why, dear gods, WHY????!!??

After the move - looking like gravy that belongs on a biscuit (okay, I'm picking up WAAAYYY too many southernisms)

Rowr!

a) No, I actually didn't cut any off - as I picked apart my locs, I realized that MOST of the length was old shed, dead hair - which I suspect is why my locs lost all their luster.
b) It's red. RED. I was blond for a second, as that is the only way I can ever really get RED hair - but year, it's - RED. I need to shampoo it this weekend and see if it needs an extra batch of dye. My hair is strong, stuborrn, and very chemical resistant.
