Pony Tail

Well, as predicted, it was an uncomfortable night sleeping on those hard Chiney Bumps.  But I persevered and did not pull them out during the night.  Unfortunately after I unraveled the Bumps, the resulting hairstyle was rather unflattering.  The curls were wild and were going in every direction you can imagine. Not a pretty sight.  Anyway, my hair tie came to the rescue.  I put it up in a pony tail.

 

Here is a picture showing the curls after a day.  They have significantly relaxed, and don't look quite so frantic.

Here we go again

Well, we are all here bracing ourselves for Tropical Storm Tomas.  Here in Kingston, he seems to be playing a bit of hide and seek with us at the moment.  We had expected that by now, heavy rain would be tearing up the place.  So far it has just been drizzling on and off.  Not that I am complaining.  Quite the contrary.  I hope Senor Tomas moves right along and leaves us all alone.

My 2-year lock-versary is fast approaching - at the end of this month.  I cannot believe that the 2 years have gone by so quickly.  Sometimes I feel that my hair growth rate has slowed down, but I regain some perspective and objectivity when I compare a picture of two years ago, with a recent picture.

That's quite a difference isn't it?

By the way, I got a new toy last week.  I purchased a Kindle.  It is just the coolest toy ever!!  My husband calls it my new boyfriend, because it gets a lot of my undivided attention, and I do snuggle down with it at times.  Ha! Ha! He is such a joker.  I have not been reading as much as I used to, mainly because I am so darn tired all the time.  I am hoping that this gadget will entice me to say awake past the first two pages of a book!  We'll see.

I love Tomoka's Hair Ties I have one, and I absolutely love it. I decided to purchase two more today.  Here are the one's that I chose:

Aren't they gorgeous?  Can't wait for them to arrive.

A New Beginning?

It seems that my consultant will be out of commission for a long period of time, so I found myself a new consultant, and I had my hair re-tightened today. It hadn't been done professionally since the beginning of April, so it felt really good afterwards. My new consultant did a really good job and she completed the re-ti in record time - 2.5 hours. She also groomed my locks by clipping off the fuzzies and cutting off the balls from the ends.  My hair looks so much neater now.

She shocked me by asking if I would consider taking down my locks and starting all over again. Huh??  She said that my parts are not straight (this is no surprise to me), some of the partings are not square and that some of my locks are too big.  Wow!!  I sat and thought about this for about 20 minutes, then decided that I would live with the imperfections.  The thought of the expense, the time, and just the idea of starting all over again.........not worth it just to have perfect looking hair.  What would you do if given this choice? I am interested to hear your opinions.

I ordered a hair tie from Tomoka's Twists, and it arrived in the mail today.  I love, love, love it!!

The one thing that I cannot stand when my hair is re-tightened is the scalpy look.....ugh!
