A Lovely Dream

Hair Love!

So first you dread your own hair.  We started with wax but quickly moved on to crochet and needle felting. GOLLY!  BFF Mara (who I now call Summer because she is my light in darkness), Summer thought it mighty fine to put afro puffs into ponytails. I let her. When I woke up they looked like this:  (You have a bathroom too get over it.)

More dreading and my own head was finally done. I love peaches. Not from a can.

1/4 of the extensions put on, the pictures are dark but I wanted to put something up. I LOVE THEM! And they are forever. No tightening extensions they are dreaded into my hair and its the most beautiful thing. 

Here you can see where my own hair ends and where the dreads need to go. We will finish the rest tomorrow. And put a few wool ones on too. (Wool is felted over the dreads for permanent color.  You also can make wool ones to attach with a rubber band for temporary ones.)

Summer and I are going to make hair jewelry too. And next we are doing HER HAIR IN DREADS yay! Hers will be all red and I'm going to help her.

More pictures tomorrow in the sunlight.

Dreads in Bed!

She can only do it a few hours a day because its a lot of work making my non cooperative thick straight hair dread, so its taking us longer than we thought. At first we rolled but now (whats this we its all Mara, I just sit and complain) we, I mean she, is crocheting my hair.  There are several ways to do it and she is trying them all. Im like the big experimental dread head. But it's working. She started from the bottom and my crown is all that is left to do.  Then we add on the dread extensions. Then a few pieces with wool.  fab fab.

I have a headache though cause this hurts.  Part of it involves needle felting that I swear was invented by the Marque de Sade. So I havent felt much like talking.  When its more going Ill take video.
