April 2010 Re-Tightening

Life has been full since I last posted. I have re-tightened my hair a few times between now and October, but haven't had the time to take pics or blog.

So here are a few. This first pic is of me at the local Mexican restaurant for my birthday It was taken about 2 weeks ago.

The others were taken today after re-tightening and braiding out my locs for a couple of hours. I don't have to band my hair when I wash it now, which is nice, and I re-tightened in about 4 hours.

Some of my locs are "bumpy," I think because of the texture of my hair. My traditional locks looked a lot like this too.

I haven't cut my locs any more! I am trying to just leave them alone and let them grow. It is long enough to pull back in a band off my face, which I like. I've only started doing that the last week or so.

Well, that's it for now. Happy Easter!
