The other day, I put my hair in dreadlocks. This blog will show you their day-to-day maturation
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
“The spoon actually has its own story.”
“Oh yeah? What’s that?”
“I slip spoons in people’s pockets. I’ve done it thousands of times. It’s like pickpocketing, but the opposite. It’s a very special skill.”*
*The best part of this story is that Meg Ryan walked by in the middle of the conversation. I quickly asked for her photo, but she turned me down. I wasn’t too concerned though, because I knew she’d only have been half as popular as Spoon Guy.
Day 146. I look horrifically pale and I don’t know why. Anyway. I might have a bead problem, I like the way they look, and they seem to be helping with the knotting process, by magic or something. I’m wondering if I’m ever going to lose any length, though. I haven’t so far, which is fine with me, they’re short enough already, but I feel like at some point I would think I would have to. But then, my hair grows SUPER fast, and I haven’t really gained any length either. Done rambling now
Day 143. Fresh out of the shower. I am no longer worried about the glass beads breaking and cutting my head, one of them flew off and bounced of the wall, hit the side of the tub, and then the bottom of the tub and didn’t even crack. So I put a couple more in the back (after I took the back-of-my-head picture, i realized that the back NEEDED TO HAVE BEADS NOW). I put a couple of the big wooden ones in, honest opinion time. I feel like they’re too big for my head, but I might be a little self conscious. So. Opinions?
EDIT!!! It occurs to me that I should let my hair dry and THEN take a picture and see what it looks like. Duh.
Day 140! So not a good picture, I’m really tired and I’m trying to post at least close to daily so top o’ my head it is
Also…
in that last picture, I have a dread-less spot. The dread there is growing kind of sideways, I didn’t realize it before but now it’s annoying me. Anything I can do about it? Will it eventually figure itself out or am I stuck with that?
Day 137. Back of my head, nothin’ exciting
Day 136? I shouldn’t take pictures of my brown hair against the brown couch, but I’m too tired to move. They’re seriously so much better since I stopped using Knotty Boy. No more of that nonsense
Day 133. Dunno why the picture is so fuzzy, but I’m tired of taking them and this is the best one I got
Day 132. I wish I had a friend to put the loose hair back in :/ I put beads in a couple of the worst offenders in the hopes they’ll figure themselves out, but they’re glass beads so I may end up with a bloody head instead. I really need to find some wooden ones that work :/ What I REALLY want, is for my friends to buy me beads so they’re always with me a little, but I have to be there so they don’t get the wrong kind, and I don’t think that’s very likely to ever actually happen. </random wall of text>
Day 131. FINALLY nice outside. Hair is still crazy (obviously), but I’m ok with that. There’s some that are actually really tight, I’ll try to get a picture of those sometime in the near future
