I haven’t had a good hair rant in a while…maybe because I am really starting to like my hair? Hmmm..what a thought. But I am bored, and so I want to write about my hair. :) I tightened up the roots and washed it on Saturday, and now it is all soft and smell good and lovely. I can’t wait till it gets long enough for me to really be able to smell it…all I can do now is just stroke it… *nice hair… pretty hair… soft hair…*

Shh....

I am starting to feel … guilty … about not doing my hair. It doesn’t really look THAT bad, but I am just really aware of that fact that I have not DONE my hair in well over a month, and that is just not cool.

I finally put a bead in it (it looks really cool, I might have to take a picture) but I’m not as happy with it as I should be because the REST of my hair isn’t all nice and neat and parted and DONE like it should be. However, since I am a lazy baby, and there are so many more interesting things for me to do lately than my HAIR, I don’t see me getting it done anytime soon.

Also, I know that I am a little sensitive about my hair. There have been many a day when I thinking that I look like an utter crow’s nest up there, and someone will compliment me on my hair. Another thing that has been picking at me is the fact that I have…odd hair. Remarkable thick, rather kinky coily and nappy, but ONLY when it is totally free. If I have my hair twisted on in braids or in locs like it is now, the roots of my hair come out wavy. Almost straight. And I don’t think that they are gonna loc up on their own. *sighs*

Soooooooo….. I think that I am going to break down and do my hair.

I’m trying to figure out what the hell I am doing with my hair. I haven’t twisted the roots for over a month now, and it is starting to get all wild and wooly. Mind you, I rather like it that way, because the roots tend to get all soft and silky due to my natural oils and juices creeping up the roots. So it feels really really good, but it doesn’t look to hot. In fact it looks rather….wild and wooly and stuff. I have been considering just letting it free form – stop twisting it and let it loc up on it’s own, but I think my hair is a little too soft and straight to do that on it’s own. I wonder just how long it would take for my hair to do something on it’s own…and whether or not I have to hold off on washing it. *yyeeeccchhhh* That is one of the main things that led me to lock my hair the way I have done it, the fact that I could wash it and get it wet almost every day if I wanted to. *shrugs* I don’t know…

pretties!

I went to the mall downtown yesterday, and found out that the World of Discovery was going out of business. Of course, I had to go in there and go mad mad shopping… I ended up with two “make your own beaded hair decorations” kits, and a stress puzzle for the office.
I’m gonna have fun with the bead kits… I have been itching to make some hair jewelry so I can decorate my locs. I don’t want to color them again, because I think the first time I colored them dried them out, and I have horrrid split ends that I am afraid to cut off. So I’m just going to do the whole sun-lightening thing, and some hair jewelry.
I want to have some stuff created to match the outfits that I am taking to DC with me so I can have lovely coordinating jewelry.

Argh! Something else I have to do.. I have GOT to wash my hair… it has been bugging me for the past few days but I have been avoiding it as I am out of my fave shampoo…and haven’t stopped anywhere to get it. Soooo….As I am going to go right PAST the store that sells it tonight.. *sighs* I might as well pick that up so that I can wash my hair tonight too…I think that what I will do is get al of the other stuff out of the way (hair, house, cat shopping) tonight, so that for the rest of the week I will have NO MORE excuses!!! (Ohh.. look at me trying to get my life into order) *sssiiiigggghhhs*

I've had better...thanks..

I actually managed to get my hair tightened up over the weekend.

Yes… it took me alllll weekend…most of Friday night, all of Saturday…and while I wasn’t doing it continuously…still it took longer than I had expected. The results are very much so worth it… at least to me. I doubt that anyone else can even really tell that I did anything to it, although you can see a bit more of my natural color now. I however, can most certainly feel and tell the difference.

Why tightening up my roots makes the whole loc feel smoother and tighter I have no clue, but I like the end result. Then again, maybe it was the conditioner that is really doing all the hard work. Whatever the reason I am thrilled with it. It’s just starting to feel more ‘locked’. *does a happy twirly dance*

Anyhow…I haven’t talked about my hair in a while.
It is doing okay… it’s getting into the whole ‘I wanna do my own thing stage’ It’s too long to just leave hanging as it drives me crazy brushing against my forehead, and it is too short to really do any up pulled styles… and besides all that I REALLLLLY need to work on my roots before I lift my proverbial skirts to annny body.
I have been considering just curling it and being done with it… but that jus takes so damn long. *sighs* Lazy Lazy Kiya. I have been conditioning it on a regular basis so that it won’t all break off because of the dye job I did (which still looks pretty doggone good by the way) but other than that and the daily soak, I am leaving the crop alone…. I am still getting compliments about my hair so I guess it doesn’t look but SO bad.
