FINALLY FINISHED

YEA SO I FINALLY FINISHED THEM ABOUT 5:OOPM TODAY. I WORKED ON THEM ALL WEEKEND & IM REALLY FEELIN THEM. I BASICALLY DECIDED ON BRAIDS AS THEY WAY OF LOCKING THEM AND THEY'RE VERY SMALL. I DID FOUR PARTS AND I FREE HANDED THE REST.

A NEW WAY TO DREAD MY HAIR

WELL AS I SAID BEFORE I THINK I'VE FOUND A NEW WAY TO LOCK MY HAIR. IT'S SOMETHING BETWEEN BRADELOCZ AND TWO STRAND TWIST. DONT KNOCK IT TILL U TRIED IT. OR UNTIL I AT LEAST GET SOME PICZ UP. I SHOULD FINISH THEM BEFORE THE WEEKDENDS OVER.

RELAXERS AND WEAVES

LIKE MOST FEMALES MY AGE I LOVE TO GO OUT, SHOP, AND JUSS HAVE FUN. LIVE MY LIFE TO THE FULLEST. EVERY TIME I GO OUT MY HAIR IS ALWAYS WEAVED UP WITH A FRESH RELAXER LOOKING TOO GOOD.LOL, NAW BUT FOR REAL WHEN I WAS ABOUT 14 I STARTED READING UP ON DREADS. NOW IN THAT TIME THERE WASN'T ALL THESE DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES TO ACHIEVE UNIFORM CULTIVATED DREADS. THERE WAS BASICALLY PALMROLLING AND TWISTING. I'M PRETTY SURE SISTERLOCKS WERE OUT THERE BUT THAT JUSS WASN'T AN OPTION FOR ME. I KNOW HOW TO DO HAIR AND I DON'T LIKE OTHER PEOPLE'S HANDS IN MY HAIR BECAUSE I'M TENDER HEADED AND I ONLY KNOW WHAT I LIKE. I READ UP ON HOW RELAXERS WEREN'T GOOD FOR YOUR HAIR, WHAT THEY DO TO YOUR HAIR, AND WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO YOUR HAIR IN THE LONG RUN. THAT STILL AINT STOP ME FROM DAMAGING MY HAIR OVER AND OVER. I ADMIT I TRIED SOME DIFFERENT WAYS OF LOCKING MY HAIR BUT I ALWAYS TOOK THEM OUT WHEN I DIDNT LIKE THE LOOK OR A NEW WEAVE HAIRDO CAME OUT. MY MOMMA SAID THAT MADE ME LOOK REAL DECISIVE BUT OH WELL IT WAS MY HEAD.

TO THE RIGHT YOU SEE SOME OF MY RECENT PICTURES OF MY WEAVES & WIGS. OH AND MY BIG OL' PREGNANT STOMACH LOL. LATER ON I PUT UP A PICTURE OF MY BEAUTIFUL 4 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER KEYONIS.

INTRODUCTION

MY NAME IS JASMINE AND IM A 19 YYEAR OLD BLACK FEMALE LIVING IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA. I MADE THIS BLOG BECAUSE FIRST OFF I'VE ALWAYS WANTED DREADLOCKS AND I WANT TO SHARE THIS JOURNEY WITH PEOPLE WHO, JUST LIKE ME HAVE FELT THAT THE TIME WASNT WRITE TO GET DREADS BUT SOONER OR LATER THAT WAS THEIR GOAL.

MY REASONS FOR WAITING SO LONG WAS THAT I WAS VERY SELF CONSCIOUS AND I WONDERED WHAT PEOPLE WOULD THINK PLUS I NEVER HAD MUCH PATIENCE FOR ALL LOT OF THINGS AND HAVING DREADS TAKE TIME AND PATIENCE. THERE ALSO WAS A LOT OF TECHNIQUES THAT JUST AINT SEEM RIGHT FOR ME OR MY HAIR. IN TRYING TO DREAD MY HAIR I DID SOMETHING A LIL DIFFERENT-YOU'LL SEE WHEN I PUT THE PICTURES UP.

MY HAIR IS STILL RELAXED AND IT COMES TO A LIL PAST MY SHOULDERS AND I'M SO EXCITED!! I'VE DECIDED NOT TO CUT ANY RELAXED PART OFF YET..YEA I JUST CAN'T PART WITH IT RIGHT NOW. MAYBE IN DUE TIME...
