I still love my locs.  I don't do much to them,I wash hem and  re-tighten them,  I love feeling pretty all the time. I love being carefree and weather resistant.

I had my locs cut last year. Just enough to get the really long ones. '

I don't have a better picture with my hair curled. I'll have to work on that.

Fall 2015

The best thing about the locs is that I can mostly forget about them.  My hair just looks great all the time. I'm happy. I have started putting the nappy locs tool on my keys so that I can do my hair where ever I am.  It has helped me keep up and I still do my own maintance. 

I know. I'm a bad bad blogger but a woman stopping me to chit chat about hair in the grocery story reminded me that people really were interested and that this is a nicely hidden corner of the internet to share my hair journey.

I'm still not doing much. I'm still taking care of my hair the same, low stress way. I got a hair cut this summer because a few locs were crazy long. It was emotional but not really a big deal.

My daughter, my lost daughter wanted me to let it grow to my elbows so that's what I'm doing for now. It's easy to say in the winter and harder to say in the summer when it gets hot.

So this this is moi. I'll try to get a picture with some makeup on but this me me at 50, no makeup and nothing done to my hair -- I'll take it.

Post cut with curls.

Just a couple of pictures after I got my locks cut. she only cut a couple inches off, maybe a little more in the front but I think it looks prettier.

I went to a salon that cuts hair all the time, not a salon that does locks. I wanted a good hair cut and that's what I got, i'm pleased and I was afraid I would be crying.

Its been too long, once again and I see changes that crept up on me. Thank you for still peeking in here. I just took a moment to post a few pictures so you can see those changes as well.

I have been having thoughts of dying my hair beyonce blond but I'm so scared of it coming out from the chemicals.

a long road

It  has been a long road to single and sparkling but I'm getting there. It has also been a long way to locks this long. I get stopped in the street and my hair is always an asset. That was never true before when I had little control over the hair thing for most of my life. I thought about cutting them, they are hot but my daugher asked me to see what they would look like shoulder length. So here I am nearly 50 with a massive head full of hair.

For the curious I still only wash and occasionally put it up on soft spikes misted. I still don't: condintion, oil, moisturize, use anything but cheap shampoo.  I don't massage my scalp, rinse with stuff or well, do very much at alll and it is lovely every day.
  

The bad blogger strikes again

This is just after I cut the front.
