Snip, Snip, Snip

Time to snip!
Why do my locks look fatter? Goal is to have only a inch of perm left.
I think I can live with this hair do in the fall. Too short for curly sue!

Bye Bye more permed ends!
Definitely more lock than perm .

I love these cute hair pins from Claire's


I said to myself I am not ready to snip my ends and I declared that I wouldn't until I was good and ready. I even told myself I wouldn't clip for a whole year. Huh! But ever since the big trim I have been obsessed with clipping my ends and free styling to a degree. However I was doing my hair and decided to snip to make my hair even. At least that's what I told myself but before I could stop myself I became a snipping machine. A snip snip here and a snip snip there, here a snip, there a snip , every where a snip snip. I was supposed to be experimenting with hair styles before school begins in a couple of weeks. I ordered Tomoka's Twist and I will post about that lil look on me when I get it. I ordered DNatural. I find that with my locls I have to dress a certain way( good/cute all the time) a certain bohemian/Moroccan/Afrocentric/eclectic flavor.

The Big Trim

Before and After ( The slide show above shows the pics with the new trim after I washed and curled it.)

I went in for my retightening this week after waiting about 7 weeks. I asked my consultant to trim my permed ends in the back because I noticed it was bunching. Wow! I got a full haircut. I wasn't expecting it and I didn't like it. I thought my locks were too short.I am not into short hair on me so I wasnt feeling it. I said I wasn't going to post any new pictures until it grew. My sister said it looked fine but I was not sure. I couldn't put it in a pony tail like before. The next day I washed it again to give it my own style. This is what I could come up with. I used my small caruso rollers. As you can see a lot of permed ends were cut off. I still have a lot left. Some of them don't have any perm at all. Personnally I think its too short. My face feels too big.

Well any way this is me and I have to get used to me. I have started a make over inside and out and its very hard sometimes. My consultant says that I need to learn patience and this locking process will teach me to embrace things that I cant change or rush. You see she installed them for me 3 years ago but on 1 year mark I took those bad boys out. This time I will follow through which is why I blog and take pictures so that I feel the process is moving along. A picture is worth a thousand words.
