I have lost 77 pounds! I am really proud of myself. I threw these pictures in here to show how I wore my hair from Jan. 2006 till I twisted up to loc in July. I really was not sure what I wanted to do with my hair and washing everyday or no pooing, and the detangeling (sp?) sessions were getting to be too much. I loved my puff and twist outs but I had so many other things going on I did not have time to really do those things which I loved. I could not just rinse and shake anymore because my hair had gotten so long and everytime it touched water it had to be detangled. So I wore this for months, people were always asking if it was my hair! I loved it!
