Some flair, finally.

Woke up this morning and decided to play with my hair and share the results.  I used a Sharpie to color the "fibers" that are embedded in a few of my locs. I also used a large flexi clip to secure this updo. This clip is beautiful and VERY STURDY. Where can you get one? www.lillarose.biz/splendidtresses  If you want to get one or more for FREE, send me a message and I'll give you the details. No SPAM, I promise. And I'm not a psycho, so you don't have to worry about me stalking you or something. Have a great day! :-)

LINT!?!?!?!?!

As Lent season comes to a close, I decided to share my lint woes with you.  It may not be apparent in these pictures, but the locs at my nape are filled with lint.  Now that my locs are longer, I want to pin them up.  But I don't want to look like I slept on my dryer my dryer's lint tray, gee whiz!!!!

 I've colored my locs black and brown sharpies in the past. But you know, I think I might dye those locks and be more proactive from now on.  Back to lint patrol.

Lock Resolutions

I resolve to seperate my locks regularly.
I resolve to cover my locks at night.
I resolve to inspect my locks for lint regularly.


These three resolutions some up the challenges in my lock journey. My last row of locs is filled with lint. I've read queries about removing build up and such. But honestly, I don't believe it will remove embedded lint. Lint is a fiber, like our hair. So anything that could "dissolve" lint would have to dissolve hair, also.  With embedded lint the options are cut the locs, comb them out, or color them. For now, I use a Sharpie to color the lint.


Ok, just had to get that out!
