Locs & Bantu Knots

I've been wearing my hair in twists with braided roots since the beginning of the year.  I cowash weekly, and about every 3 weeks I'll take it all down and rebraid/retwist and put it in bantu knots.  Dscf2835_2The bantu knots make a really nice curl that keeps for the entire week.  I think I'm going to keep wearing it like this--at least until it gets really hot. 

Bri had, at last count, 92 locs left.  Since they're on spring break this week, I'm trying to get this done before she has to go back to school.  I hope I never have to do this again.  There are little balls of hair all over my house and my left arm is numb from the elbow down to my fingertips. 

Her locs are shorter than either mine or Liv's, so it's taking less time per loc, but since her hair is also Dscf2419_2 thinner, she has more locs than we had. She's looking forward to wearing Afro puffs to school next Monday.  I'm just praying my hands hold out that long.

    This album chronicles my journey from locs to loose naps. I started picking my locs out on February 26 and finished on April 30.
