Sneezing, snotty, coughing, headache, body aches. Yech. My daughter is home sick after only three days into the school year. Neither of us is happy about it but I don't want to be infecting everyone else.

Dreadlocks though...yes...a few days ago I was feeling all down about it. I've actually been wondering if synthetics braided in would be a better idea, but I know I wouldn't feel the pride of knowing they were mine and had my history inside them. Plus, what a pain in the butt-to braid them in and take them out and braid them in again. Screw that.

My hair is doing really well. I thought the Dreadlocks Shampoo was too conditioning at first because my hair is all loose and soft after washing but it still tightens up nicely the next day. I still don't love the smell of it but I'm also using the tightening salt spray and that smells really nice.

Is it possible to use that spray too much? It's got essential oils in it, can it still be too drying to use daily?

On Friday I'll be one month into free forming! Woot woot! And today, for the first time, I was able to take two small dreadlings and tie the rest of my hair back! Craziness! I'm going to have my daughter take a video of me tomorrow showing my progress tomorrow. You just can't see it in pictures.

Oooh...and a new picture of my guinea pig. I love her so much!
