lisa bonet rules

lisa at the airport recently.

How long has she has dreads?

hmmm, well I am still washing every 2 weeks. I was pissed at my hair on Monday. I washed it at 4:30 on Sunday. Then I sat under a dryer for an hour. ON MONDAY MORNING IT WAS STILL WET! (the back)

I usually never go to bed with my hair wet but blah, blah. How does Lisa Bonet do it? When it gets back to being 90 degrees, I'm going to air dry. I have only done that twice.

doing minimal maintenance

temporarily sick of scarves

Random scarf pic

i am...i said

This is a pic of my hair today. It looks better from the front. I have fallen in love with scarves. I'm going to buy 2 more and then that's it....So I'm still free-forming but now I have my doubts. Some of my locks are thinning - the new growth. And some of my hair that is already locked is getting soft and curly like.

Some of this might be my fault. I didn't wear my silk scarf to bed 3 days in a row. I haven't washed my hair in 3 weeks. I really don't know if this is normal or what. And NEVER ask someone what they think about your hair. Yeah, obvious. But I had my hair in two cornrows. Sorta. I don't know how to cornrow so I did the best I could. So the person ignored my fake cornrows and starts picking my hair apart.

-Why it is so frizzy?
-I see people with nice looking dreads all the time. (lol)
-If only you could get rid of the hair sticking up. (new growth)
-I would have gotten sisterlocks. (I had to explain what they were before that statement).
-Why aren't you doing maintenance anymore??? (not worded like that)

::SIGH::

Thanx for nothin'

Anyway, I'm off tomorrow so I can't use the excuse of too busy to wash my hair. I am washing it tomorrow but I haven't decided whether I want to do zero maintenance or just maintenance on the sides or top.

I dunno. I don't want to ruin my hair....Obviously. I'm going to do some research tonight to see what other free formers go through. I can still just wash and go. I love rocking the scarves. (And I think it makes me look more feminine especially when I wear earrings too. Guys respond differently but that isn't why I do it. Just a note.)

I will update my fotki album this weekend. Gots to migrate...bye!

am I late or what?

Woohoo! I think I have finally figured it out. I will be doing something totally new for a while (maybe forever). I don't want to give details yet but I will have pics and do a real entry. I just couldn't resist posting this picture because this is the only time I've gotten my hair in ONE ponytail. :) Scarves were the answer. I know that seems obvious but don't forget that I was clueless about hair before I had dreads and I am finally taking the time to learn. Also I do not wear it on the wrong side with the tag out when I'm going out! LOL. I wish I had more than one. haha. I brought that one on a whim. It was 20% off and I thought I might not use it. Now I'm going to wear it until I can begin my new plans.

Getting a lotta ideas for my dreads

I'm not having a bad day. Just trying to hide some of my face. :) I need to get the scarf thing down so I can use them more often. Updated my fotki album with 2 pics. One of me and one of Jason Castro.
