Presenting: The Loc Babies' First Hat

I mentioned in my last post that I was making the loc babies a hat. I finished it today and figured I'd post some pictures. So without further ado the loc babies and I present their 4th locaversary gift:


Here's the hat being modeled by my lovely and kind sculpture

4 Months OMG

We turned 4 months old... 7 days ago lol.

I'm so in love with my locs right now. They're finally starting to look like locs
and that really excites me. I also decided that I'd be patient and not dye them. Instead I've decided to wait until my birthday in September and let my amazing loctician do it for me. Instead I decided to make the loc babies a hat for their anniversary gift. I'm doing Afya Ibamu's Kinky Reggae in red black and green. I'll post pics when I finish the hat.

Curls take 2

I took the loc babies out for a night on the town last night... I decided to try the curls again, but this time I used pipe cleaners and the soft pillow rollers.  I only had about 2 hours for the rollers to stay in so the curls fell by the end of the night ( a few survived).  Needless to say, a good time was had by all.

Rollerset Results

The following picture is the result of my sleeping on the rollers from the previous post.It wasn't exactly what I hoped for but I did have a cute/different look on Sunday.  Too bad it was only for work and a crappy dinner date.  I just cannot believe how much shrinkage I've had . I expected it but can't believe it, go figure.  I think I may invest in some perm rods for the next attempt at curly baby locs.

Re-ti Two and Roller Set

Today I had my second re-tightening session with my amazing and awesome loctician. She gave me an up-do that I loved, but couldn't keep due to the fact that the pins made my scalp insanely sore. So I took it down and did a roller set which I will take down and photograph in the morning before I go to work. I didn't do the roller set with anything in particular in mine so there's a pretty spastic mix of curlers in my hair DON'T LAUGH.

We Turned 3... 6 days ago

So my loc babies turned 3 months on March 10th Hurray.  I wish I had more to say on the matter but I don't.  I'm going in for my second re-tightening on Saturday and I definitely need it because my hair is wild and roaming all over my head.  I'll post pictures afterward.  For now I'm just too lazy to bother. 

My First Retightening

Today I had my first retightening and let me just say that I love my loctician because even though I started my locs on my own she was very supportive and happy to give me pointers.  The whole thing took about 3 hours and here to the right you see the results.  I was even more stoked when she showed me some buds.  I'm in love lol
