13!

What is the significance of this number you ask?

Well, Brunsli's post about her 4 year lockversary reminded me that I didn't post about my 13 year lockversary! Yeah, 13 years..... Can you believe it!

It is actually not anything that I would readily remember and recognize at this point except when people stop me and ask me questions about my hair.

As I have said before, I am immensely happy with it and can't imagine myself any other way!

I do admire your hair and have been wondering how you keep it from clumping!
A couple of years ago, I say a guy in the supermarket in Ja. He had theeeee mooosttt gorgeous locks. I just had to ask him about it. Can't remember what he said about not getting 'bed head'. Which is what I dread most if I were to lock my hair. The other thing I dread almost as much is the dead hair ends/roots coming out and just sitting on my head. I can see the white roots because my hair is very black...when I am not being grey.

Another, an African man, had wonderful shoulder length locks all the same perfect size. We had just de-planed from Ja. He said he washed it every morning and used shea butter to care it.

I not only admire your hair, I envy it too...LOL...

Thanks everyone! Yes, this is definitely the longest my hair has ever been too. When I used to relax it, it wouldn't grow much past my shoulders without breaking off. I am just letting it go until it gets too long for me and I want to trim it. Who knows when that will be....

And Gema, I have never really had a bed head issue. I do remember that I did have a couple locks in the back that seemed to be flattening out but they just disappeared over time.
