me & my snood :)

these loc knots….

i remembered how great it was to have short hair for a while.

i remembered the compliments i got on the new style.

i remembered the cute curls i got once i took them out.

….i forgot how horribly itchy they were! ughhhhh i’m dyyyying…..and remembering why i took them out so soon the last time !!!>_<!!!

if anyone has any suggestions on how to remedy this, i’m seriously all ears. i’m sure a large part of the issue is just the contact between the coarse texture of my locs and my scalp, but i don’t know how to get the kind of moisture/smoothness that could fix that problem. the plan was to leave them in for two weeks, but i’m not sure i can take this for more than another night.

another miserable night of rubbing my head and trying to sleep on my face…

At last - loc knots! Courtesy of my mom :) Now to gird myself for the endless questions about whether/why I cut my hair &gt;_&lt;
about two weeks ago&#8230;progress report night. i don&#8217;t have the energy to style my hair every day, but i try to look a little sophisticated when i know i&#8217;m going to be meeting with parents so they don&#8217;t judge me for looking young.

recently i realized that my little blog now has over 500 followers!!!! :D so i had to dig up this old picture to show how i feel inside.
i don&#8217;t always respond to messages, but i truly appreciate the compliments and the kindness i&#8217;ve been shown thus far. thanks so much yall, and stay awesome!
p.s. since this tumblr is now primarily focused on locs, i&#8217;m kicking off a personal blog and a writing blog. there&#8217;s not much there now, but feel free to check them out if you like :) or not, that&#8217;s cool too.
