This is a bad picture (I’m gonna get my dad to take some with his Nikon later) but here it is:

Day 17
Currently: at the salon waiting. Haha. That’s usually how it goes. I’m nervous cause she said she has to see my hair before she’ll do it to see if it’s healthy enough.
Update: the dying is done and I’m under the dryer nervous as $%&# cause I don’t know if I like what she did. I wanted the front lightened from root to tip and she did streaks and not all the front. But I have to see it before I freak out. Gahhhhh
Update #2: I’m really freakin sad cause its not what I wanted. I’m gonna prolly get dye and duz the front myself the way I want it. :’( I was so excited. Bummed as $&&?$;?%:/#+(
Update #3: Less bummed. It’s all done now and I’m starting to like it. I’m going to get it perfected around Thanksgiving and I’m going to dye the back black after I get back to Richmond. Semi-pleased :)
Day 17
Today is the day! I’m back in Maryland and I’m going to my mom’s hairdresser at noon to get the color done. I’m going to to get the colors in 4 or 5 sections. The lightest is going to be a light reddish brown or darker blonde and the darkest is going to be dark brown or black.
I’m seriously bummed because I have to go in the morning to renew my license so my picture will be of the dirty week old twist out I’m still sporting. For 5 more years! >:/ I’m not that concerned though. I’m going to do a sweet bun or something. I’ll have pictures up of the wonderful aftermath before the night is over :D
Day 15
After I get the dye, trim and length check done I’ll probably do a round of small twists. These are the smallest I did over the summer. I did these 3 times over the summer and had them in for 4-6 weeks at a time.I swam (a the beach) while I had them in and I would wash while I had my hair twisted. I love this style because it’s long term, easy to keep up, and easy to style with. The only drawback for me was that my edges started thinning with the amount of upkeep. I think I just never gave m hair a break since I did them back to back to back.
Day 13
More hats. This one has is gold and black to match my earrings. I’m either going to bun or hat again tomorrow. I’m trying to keep it protective since I’ll be (hopefully) dying in the next 2-3 weeks.
The back looks VERY short (chin/shoulder length) and I don’t like that so I’m keeping it unseen and covered. And I cannot stress enough how bad my ends are (at this point I’m embarrassed) so I’m keeping them very far from sight. When I get the color/trim/flat-ironing done I’m probably going to post a length check.
Day 12
I’ve been worrying a lot about color maintenance recently because I will be dying my hair similar to these soon.
I’m going to have the light brown/blondeish color in the front and gradually go to black in the back. ‘m worried that my texture will clash with the color cause I have much tighter curls on most of my head than the girls in the above pics. I’m excited, but kinda sad because I won’t be able to henna anymore and I will have to be EXTRA careful with my end/edges/hair in general. I’m going to try rhassoul or bentonite clay instead of henna now to see what my hair likes. I loved when my hair was dyed black, the reddish tint of henna when I had it, and my current natural brown.
Day 10
I co-washed and did a twist out with finger-parted sections. I’m wearing a hat over them and I’ll take them out for the concert tonight.
Day 8
I’m wearing a wash-n-go-to-sleep. I always pull my wash-n-gos back because my hair length and texture are a wonky mix. I’m at work so there’s great lighting :)
