Still Hangin’ Out

Rain and humidity.

It’s soooooo humid. According to Weather Bug on my computer it was in the 80s with 66% humidity.

We got back from the Farmer’s Market just in time. As soon as we got everything from the car onto the porch…the skies opened up and poured down rain…a nappies best friend.

I kept going off the porch to stand in the rain. Look at my twists. Now I can’t say they feel incredibly soft…they’ve felt better…but I love the tightness of the twist.

Now I’ll be glad when my hair is much longer and my twists are shoulder length with shrinkage. But I have to tell ya, Nappy is as Nappy does…I do like my shrinkage!

Twists Comparison

Ok. The pic on the left was taken a couple hours after I did this do the Sunday before July 4th. Since then, I’ve done one full head retwist.

The pic on the right was taken today. Having been out in the rain and sitting on the porch for a good deal of the day in high humidity, I wanted to see if there was additional shrinkage.

I’m almost certain that it is, however, it’s not that perceptible. If you look at the twist above my left eye, it is indeed shorter in the right pic than it is in the left pic. I know I trimmed it, however, it was more of a dusting of the ends as opposed to a full fledged trim. I’m thinking the shorter twists is largely due to additional shrinkage.

Still just Hanging Out

 Oh…I talk about her so much but I’ve never included a pic of my p.ermie sister in my journal. There’s the happy family. Her husband works around the clock seems like so she and my niece are always over my moms. Puppy, as we still call her although she’s full grown, just wasn’t cooperating. The stinker!

  

She’s so cute. Telling a story about a trip she took to Kansas City with her cousins. She’s hung out with them all last week. Didn’t even spend the fourth of July with us. Not having her around just wasn’t the same. I missed her terribly.
