Shake up ya natty...

I really am a delinquent. I know. There are two things that I haven't done. 1) Post regularly or according to a schedule. My excuse is...I'm a student =D and I have exams and I should be studying now actually. But I, having to study, wanted a distraction of course. 2) I'm writing this and I have no audience lol. I haven't really told any one I'm writing a blog save one (hiiii Mali!). I dunno why. Well I do. I don't want people to think I just jumped on the blog bandwagon. I actually intend to keep this like my own little online journal (not VERY personal lol) And another thing I haven't really figured out the direction of my blog yet. I know I don't want it to be about hair alone (I am not my hair). So maybe, sometime in the near future (2011?) I will post the link to my blog on facebook and see what happens. 


Soooo, as you may or may not, I have started the long, grueling, arduous process of locking my hair. I'm not going to lie, what attracted me most to locks is the fact that I wouldn't have to comb my hair...ever. You can call me nasty if you want, but I was always a "nasty"child. I gave trouble to comb it, wash it, grease it...everything! Especially combing though. But locks = no combing... yay! 100 points. Another factor that attracted me to the locks is the variety of styles that you can do. You think you need permed hair to do crazy ish? Nuh uh. In my free time (meaning time I should have been studying) I have been perusing the interwebs and finding all kinda cool things to do with your locks. Beyond the normal colouring, there are so many creative styles to do that make me feel all tingly inside. Check these out 

The last is my favourite :). Those hairstyles are what I aspire to do in the (distant it seems) future. For now, I am struggling with my baby/starter locks as everyone who starts locks is wont to do. Luckily I didn't have the grief that some people suffer with, with having really short hair as I thought it fortuitous to grow out my hair before I started to lock it. So right now it's like almost 5 inches when its bouncy and 6 when stretched. Awesome ^_^. 

 I started off with a two strand twist about a month ago. When I went back to my loctician three weeks after she first twisted my hair, she palm rolled it and eureka! it started looking locksical (it's totally a word). They were pinned up in a style comme so : 

The top looking locksical 

The back looking locksical. Check out my blinged phone yo! (ignore the bath towel) 

But alas! The hair pins defeated me and it came down. They stayed neatish for about 24 hours. No lie. Then the fluff began! I have since washed my hair again and tried twisting it myself and my roomie, Sheba, helped me twist them up into a style. I haven't taken a picture yet. But for my next post that will be my first order of business. I pwomise! The twisting/rolling is being defeated by Nneka's uncooperative hair! Unfortunately I have no money to go to the hairdresser now so I shall be seeking alternative methods for my hair to stay neat, especially since I have a Christmas party to attend. Anyways that's all for now folks! (copyright? lol)
