A Hair Post: Before and After


The Before - Cousin It Locs
I felt like a big ball of hair.

This is how I left the salon. Bantu knots hurt. My scalp was pulsating. I think I'll stick with pipe cleaner curls.
The After
I have bangs and layers. Some locs are really short and I whimper silently when I touch them. The longest ones are just below my shoulders. My hair feels light and airy! I still got some hair pulls but not as many since there aren't so many hanging at her level. When I bend down hair doesn't come rushing to the front of my face and falling all over the Queen's face covering her eyes and getting in her mouth. No hair in my food or drinks either.

I like it a lot.
You still have a lot of hair; but now you look super glam. Your hair looks fuller, too. And the slightly shorter length makes your face look more chiseled (like it does when it's pulled back).

Pretty!!!

Can I have your glasses? Please?

Looks great! I look forward to seeing it in person at the next babywearing meetup. I admit I'm jealous of all the hair you have, someday mine will hopefully grow back haha.
