Curls?!

I haven't been to a salon in a year. 365+ days. Without dreads, I never went to a salon but I feel like my hair needs something. So I am planning on going in November. It will be an early Xmas gift from my mom. I don't want to go regularly. I have neither the time or money for that. I may go twice a year or at least once. I wish there were more salons that managed dreads. I am planning on going to a salon near my old apartment. I have never been there. I hope it still exists! If not, do I go back to my old salon? ::scary::

This past week I have started rolling my hair with hair rollers. (Is that the correct wording? LOL! sorry). Of course the curls don't last. But my hair does have an extra bounce (volume?) all day. You can tell that I did something with my hair but it isn't really curly. More wavy perhaps.

I've been reading about how other people deal with dreads and curls. Some people use setting lotion. I have never used that in my life. Will I have to wash it more if I use lotion? I dunno. I'm just thinking out loud. I don't want the curls to last for weeks. Honestly, I'm just sick of the frizz.

Oh yeah, I tried a braid-out. Did not work. My locks are simply to thick. I can't even braid 3 locks into one! Even the ones that used to be thin are getting thicker. Oh well.

Well today is a pretty day. Who know how many pretty days we have left until fall really sets in so I'm going to go outside and enjoy it.
