Dreadlocks are love.

I tried my first attempt at a headwrap tonight and I think I love it. I need more scarves now.

Sorry for the crappy photos. All I have at the moment is my MacBook.

It feels a lot better than a hair tie.

Inspired by the post in the memories, I made the pigtail hat from a 75¢ fleece blanket I got at the thrift store. Wasn't really digging it, but really wanted the hat. I crochet, so I decided to make a pattern for the hat. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you: ( Collapse )

So this is my hair after the first bleach!
i'm waiting a few days to start the dread process.



i also just remembered one of my favorite artists has really sweet dreads.
this is him =]

'ello loves.

One year ago tonight my dreads were started. So I thought I would share
a little timeline and also some photos I took today. This is  very image heavy!

I don't have any pictures from April, and the only one from March has them pulled back,
and you can't really see them clearly. They were so thin and scraggly back then!

 It's been a year and a half. Whoa! I can't do a time line, since I have next to no pics of my dreads when I got them. But here is what that look like now. Ignore the fact that I look stupid in pics. I should start blurring out my face. lol. HAPPY NEW YEARS!

My daughter was playing with my hair yesterday and as I was running my hand over the back of my head last night, I felt a knot. She had tied one of my dreads into a knot. I thought that was the only one. This afternoon, I was washing my hands and looked up in the mirror and noticed that one of my dreadies was shorter than usual in the back. I guess I missed one that she tied into a knot. I got a pic of this one. Cracks me up what she does to my hair and proves that moms don't actually have eyes in the back of their heads, though I'm not telling HER that. :)
