Hair Bun July 2010

Got my locks up in a loose hair bun at the back of my head. Check out the front of my hair, locked! I’m thinking about taking the locks out though, I miss loose hair

Dreadlock Bun Relief for Hot Weather

In this hot summer time weather my hair, which is over 3.5 feet long, can get quite hot. Throwing it up in a bun makes my hair feel light and cool!

The front of my hair is finally locking up! I have kept this part of my hair loose for years, then decided to lock it. It took some months to start locking up…now I[m thinking about taking the locks out LOL.

Twists with a Bun

My hair is so long I can sit on it so as you can imagine it can get cumbersome. This is how I usually wear it; tossed up in a bun My twists are coming along nicely. I think the hair here should be locked oh, February 2010-ish.

Head Wraps Will Help With Locking My Front

So I twisted up the front of my hair, now using head wraps I made to help stop myself from picking at my twists! LOL

Locking Up Front of My Hair Part 3

Fresh Washed Dreads

S-bop’s fresh-washed dreadlocks. I needed to separate a few at the roots. After a summer of sun his locks have a tint of red.

Tiny Twists

One of my sons with his newly twisted hair. For the past couple of years he has had a dreadlock mohawk. Instead of shaving the sides again this year, he had me cut off the mohawk to the new growth, then trim his hair all over so that it would be the same length. Then [...]

Classic Bun

My classic bun. Buns are something you struggle with at first with dreadlocks but as your hair gets longer it gets much easier to put up in a bun because you can just tie it up in a big knot.

I Finally Washed My Dreadlocks

It’s been a minute since I last washed my hair, I’m not even going to say how long because it’s embarrassing LOL! I have no excuse except it takes so very long to dry (my locks are over 3 feet long) blah blah blah. Anyway I’m back on schedule; henceforth washing my hair at least [...]

August Bun

I’ve Been Lazy About Washing My Hair

Lately I’ve been real lazy about washing my hair. There’s just so much of it, and it takes a long time to dry. No more excuses! I hope that by publicly stating how little I have been washing my locks will shame motivate me into getting back to regularly washing it. Ok, here goes…Since February [...]

DreadLock Wraps

I wrapped some of my locks with different colored thread and/or small strips of cloth. Some of my locks were thinning as they got longer or got torn getting caught in doors or what have you. So I decided to fix them with ‘band-aids’ of thread and cloth. My hair is quite healthy and I [...]
