14 months in

I literally woke up one day, looked in the mirror... and I suddenly liked my locs a little more.


I'm a little insecure about wearing my hair out and about when they're not manicured.  I guess I just don't want to be a stereotype with dreadlocks.  I want them to look "fashionable," "neat," etc.  I know once they are fully mature and able to do a ponytail, they will look good with or without maintenance. (I prefer the free-form look).  Some days I get frustrated and wear my old hair weaves when I feel ugly. lol

I finally have hair in the back of my head again.  It would always break off whenever I wore certain weaves and/or relax and dye my hair.  The only time it has ever grown was when I was natural.  (It didn't grow with a professional either no matter how careful I was).  Comparison shots:

I'm just glad my hair is healthy again.  Anywho, it's my birthday weekend and I might take a break from this blog for a few months.  The length has put me in a funk even though I know it's growing. (sigh)  I'm just bored with the length.  There's only so much to do with hair this short.
