Did my first one. :)

I really wanted to get started on all of them tonight. But my boyfriend and I's third anniversary is tonight. His work check did not come in today so we're going out tomorrow. I really don't want crazy hair when we go out tomorrow so I just did one tonight and we'll really start tomorrow after we are done with anniversary festivities. :) So since I was going to start tonight I decided to at least do one lock tonight.

I washed my hair tonight with bar soap with no residue. I was apprehensive about it because I'm addicted to conditioner in my hair. But it didn't go bad. I was surprised at how easy it was to lather and rinse my hair. I also got a blowdryer for Christmas for when I get the locks. Made it super easy to dry my hair. :) I missed my old blowdryer.

I had a flea comb, unfortunately it was a plastic one. Apparently my hair...ruins plastic ones. I'm already missing quite a few teeth on the comb after ONE lock. Going to need to go get a metal one for tomorrow night.

These are right after I washed my hair with the non residue bar soap. It's right on my butt in length. The last time I cut my hair was when my daughter was 6 weeks old. She's 26 months now. I cut it to my shoulder blades then. Hopefully it keeps growing fast so I get long locks. Yay for vitamins. :)

These pictures are after I did one dread. (The only one I'm doing tonight.) I lost a lot of length, but it was hair from the nape of my neck so I'm not worried. I have lots of dead ends so I was expecting to lose quite bit. It was only about three or four inches.  I'm happy with that. It looks really....crazy right now. lol. I don't have a crochet hook to maintain the stray hairs, so it's really frizzy. Once I get them all done, I'm going to get a crochet hook and make them look a bit better. 

So...this is the beginning. I'll be posting a lot more on here now. We'll see how the journey goes. :)

(Also, the glass pendant I'm wearing. I got three of them for Christmas. They came on some crappy looking string, so I took some yarn and braided it together to make a necklace. Looks a lot better now. Hopefully they fit over my locks once they are done. lol
