Two months!

MAY 25TH 2013! marks my two months of bliss. I have had my microlocs/ braidlocs in for a whole 60days. Its been awesome, I still love them. As you can see from the frequency of my posts lately (or the lack thereof), not too much has changed. At least nothing significant enough for me to talk about.

Overview:
-Frizz is the name of the game. Its all over, cant even hide it or stress it and I don't. Comes with the territory.
- The ends of my hair are a tight spirally curl and I adore them. Gives my hair some pizzazz and character
- I've been going to the gym lately and because of all the sweat, I find myself washing my hair twice a week.
-I still do rinses every other day

I will be doing a somewhat of a comparison between the locs in the bac of my head started with interlocking and the braidlocs in posts to come so look out for that. Also, I will be retightening my hair next week on my days off since it has been four weeks since my last re-ti.

Until then: enjoy some pics from my birthday on the fourth and some recent shots of my hair.

Color =D

So as I was saying in earlier posts, I was over the ashy red-brown color on my hair with the black roots. I was so over it that drove down to my local BSS and bought two boxes of Clairol's Texture and Tones in Natural Black. Now let me just say, I aways told myself that I would 1). never go so dark because I love color and 2). never do a permanent black because of the problems it gives trying to reverse it later on if I so pleased. Welp, Never say NEVER.

I gave in to all temptations and went through with it for two reasons. My first reason being that I didnt want to dye it a blonde or red once more because of the new growth eventually being a different color and I would have to keep coloring (which would be damaging). The second reason being that when my locks mature I only plan to highlight a few out of the bunch.

And coloring went like this:
- I mixed as the instructions on the packages say
- i applied it to my hair and put on a shower cap for 30mins
- I rinsed all the color out squeezing the locks until the color ran somewhat clear
- I then shampooed twice with my clarifying and followed with the conditioner in the package
**( putting that conditioner in was MANDATORY being that my hair felt like straw after the shampooing. However it softened my hair so much that I thought I would have some slippage)**
- I shampooed one more time and then rinsed and that was it.

Results:
My hair felt good, and I put a quarter size amount of coconut oil in my hair. I loved and still am enjoying the black waaay more than the ash. Pics below.
