Yup, they are my pj's. I have just finished her. She needs bandages, beads and other things to make her funky.

Up for work. My job at the time was working in a local coffee shop, so it was important to keep my hair tied back and tidy. Banadanas work brilliantly at taming the wispy bits of fringe.

dreadlocks

It has been a very, very long week.

My current favorite

a particularly hairy pair of Baudets du Poitou

beltane invokation of air.

So this happened before Thanksgiving of 2014. (well, the haircut on Dec. 5th - but yeah)

Took about 35-40 hours to brush all the dreads out. I didn’t soak my hair with conditioner or anything, just put a lot of energy into combing the knots out. Didn’t find anything gross in my dreadlocks, either. No mold, no mildew, nothing. just frizzy hair from being in knots for 4 years.

This pic is from late August 2005. I put my hair up in a style called bantu knots. After I took them down a few days later, my locks were very curly. The curls lasted about a week.

My dreadies were much smaller then and they were a tad bit magenta

We reached certain heights so fast

In a telepathic daze with you

We melt into one

You say you will never be done

Floating so sincerely

Making my time count

You got inside of me

You told me

I told you

We said it

We did it

Inside that other world

On tiptoes watching the moon

I think I feel zombified here!

I set my dreadlocked hair with drinking straws, 2004 to make them curly: Ta-da!

Hair styling day--during

Silhouette of my friend's head/dreadlocks.

As you may know my hair is VERY long, nearly long enough to sit on. I have been wanting to trim my locks to an even belly-button length but my husband asked me to not cut my hair. So I have been experimenting around with different ways to put my hair up as I am tired of my old bun style.

This is just my locks pulled back into a simple loose semi-bun. Knotted loop stopped hair from falling down but it looks very loose and casual. Hair wrap over loose hair in front. In this style hair fell to breast-length and was kept out of my way.
