A New Year and a New Me

Hope you all had a great festive season, ate too much, got drunk and kept the locs looking fierce!!!

So i decided to start my year with a bottle of dark and lovely hair colour........ Now i'm a red head. It's not a new colour for me but one i haven't visited for a long time. Actually Shan never knew what my natural hair colour was until i started the Sl's and we've known each other for nearly 9 years. Throughout the years a regular question i had from him was "What is your hair colour babe" and no matter how many times i would tell him he found it hard to believe. I guess it's one of those cases where seeing is believing.
I've been
blonde, copper, pink, red, blue, burgandy, purple etc.. but i have to say my favourite colour was baby pink. I suppose as a designer or someone who is creative you have to have a bit of eccentricity in your DNA ( and i have more than a bit, in fact i'm just plain crazy!!).

So i plaited and banded put on the dye left for whatever time it said on the bottle and voila RED HEADISH. I say 'ish' because a did mix the dye with a left over colour that i previously used and because i hate waste and didn't want to revert fully back to that colour i done a mix and so far its been described as a redish, auburn and golden just to name a few. Well whateva colour it is i am so glad that i did it because that regrowth of natural colour has been gettin on my last nerve for the longest time. I tell you when Sabs initially told me that i couldn't colour my hair for at least 6 months i nearly changed my mind about the whole thing ( didn't tell u that before did i!!!) . And i nearly waited the full time as i am just shy of that half a year mark. That just goes to show how much colour means to my life. Trivial to some. Everything to me!
And just to summarise for all of those you have asked about the development of my locs now that i am a D.I.Yer. They are coming along alot better thanks.... yeaaaaah!! I have to retighten the front what sees like every other week. I also do repair work on all of them in between retightening sessions as i have noticed there has been alot of unravelling where Sabs had done her "work" Basically they have all budded at the ends but i noticed that not alot was happening beyond that. Then i noticed that the pattern was not there and these buds were hanging with no where to go so i put the pattern back which took forever and ever and ever but hey if you want something you dedicate and get on with it don't you??
