I washed my hair/scalp with a thin baking soda and water paste. Then after rinsing thoroughly, I rinshed my hair with apple cider vinegar. Then rinsed it out with warm water. This is a large beach towel and it almost covers all of my locks to their full length. Now, I think I look great sans makeup but how big is my forehead!! Although my skin has yellow/orangish undertones, especially in the winter when my color fades due to lack of sun, I am not this yellow! I have no idea why the pics I take with my phone sometimes look like this, with the yellowish glare. I know, I know, I need to get a decent digital camera again already. See my eyebrows? I shave the ends and then draw a thin line. My kids say it looks wacky but I like it. I need to get a makeover and learn how to do my eyebrows, ha.

The pics with the blue sweater on are my locks after drying from getting washed. To get the wavy effect I made big twists with my wet dreadlocks by taking several bunches of them together and twisting them. Then I let my hair air dry like that., took around 5 hours. Then I took them out and voila! Wavy dreads. Ok! I overdid it on the makeup, LOL. The last pic is one of my curly locks up close. Boing!
