new do

I wanted a new look for the new year and school is about to start Monday. I want some curls! But I also wanted length. I usually use locloops but it always made my hair too tight. I like the softness about them and I will definitely use them when I get some serious hang time! I asked my friend that has very very long locs what type of rollers does she use and she recommend that I buy the purple rods. When I got to the store that were twosizes and my common sense told me to grab the longer ones. I also grabbed some Lottabody (don't tell anyone) I mixed 20% of lottabody with distilled water. I washed my hair too but it dries so fast that I had to re-wet with the spray bottle just to roll it up. My hair didn't even need washing. Next time I won't wash it unless it needs it of course!

Here is the side view. I am just noticing the lock in the front I left out... No wonder it looks funny now... I left the back out for length. It was like the last five rows because my last three rows are a mess. ( see my label bantu knots ) My hair broke off real bad before SL so I like to spoil them to promote growth. I let them freestyle as much as possible.

The verdict. It has been about three days when this pic was taken. I was on the go to see BF for new year's eve celebration.I took the rollers out on the highway of the three hour trip. I only let my hair air dry for about 11 hours. I wished I had a hair dryer. I think it will last longer.

Another shot in robe and rollers. lol

I tried to take a pic showing how the str8 locs I didn't curl added a lil fullness to the back area. It blends in nicely.

I am happy about these curls. They are the perfect length and size! This pic was taken 4 days later. I do not roll my hair up at night. I bought a satin pillow case. I fall asleep. That's all I do to my hair at night. I think I will finger comb my hair today....
