Can't Resist!

We also have to dodge the paparazzi in Oslo!

However, this picture also reveals how desperately I need to have my hair retightened (click on the photo for an enlarged view of my roots, baby!). I have been enlightened by Kalia-Dewdrop's, as well as Amba's, and Blackrussian's respective posts about combining, cutting, or splitting locks. I also posted recently about not being able to capture loose hairs back into my locks during retightening. So I decided that I would return to my loctician after my trip to Europe and consult with her about adding locks to the front and splitting some locks that have become too big. It is just SO hard for me to resist grabbing my tools and working on my own head (it is so pleasurable and my hands are always in my hair anyway!).

It is a bit tricky with me b/c I started with such damaged hair, not from perms, but from excessive tension from braiding and hair extensions. As my hair is recovering from that previous trauma, my locks are really changing in size and sections that were marked by breakage are finally filling in (I sound like an old man). At any rate, this picture shows my need for a retightening and how thick my roots are becoming. (It also shows how cute my baby is!).
