DAY ONE

Ok so day 1 with my yarn braids....ok Let me digress for a bit. It's late, I know. Yet I refused to go to bed without sharing about my day 1 experience.

My friend finished about midnight or a little after last night. It took about 8 hours. I do not have as many as the girl on the pic below. I wish I did, but I had to do it a bit differently because I am keeping them and locking my hair.

I have perfect parts. and I know when they lock they will look great; however, I woke up today, looking in the mirror wondering what did I do LOL I was just feeling very unattractive. I know this is a process and it will past but boy oh boy it was a shocker. So I texted my bff this morning. She has had locks for 3 years. I wasn't even thinking of locs at that time. Not at all. Anyway, She texted me back then she called and she just reassured me that this is just day 1. It will get better. Then she let me know how she was feeling when she started her process. Granted she didn't start with yarn extensions as I am, but same type of feelings existed for us both and probably most people who go thru this. My braids are short. I did not want them long. I was questioning that decision today LOL .

They looked awful today and I had to go into the salon. It is Saturday you know, and my book was full. So I couldn't do much but suck it up today. :-/

But I read online that I could dip my hair into boiling water to soften it. Oh did I not mention, they were stiff as a board...smh..a mess. Also, I went back to Walmart looking for colored thread because this black is just too dark for me. I wanted blonde, but couldn't find anything that looked good enough so I bought red. It's bright. But it will do. So I took down several braids and re-braided them with the red yarn. It looks better. I have them in a short bob. I will post a pic. 

My husband said to me "Oh I thought they would be longer" LOL sooo do you like them? yea they alright" hmmmmmm :-)

Well it is what it is really. One good thing about him is that he is always supportive of me. 

Ok so enough about my day. I am so tired.

Have a wonderful evening, and God bless.
