To those of you who don't know me personally, I'll fill you in before I begin my freak-out fest-
My hair is my pride and joy. I haven't cut it (except for my bangs) in years, and it is nearing 4 feet in length now. I wear it in well over a hundred tiny braids, which I have to keep up with constantly. It's a pain in the ass, but it's a form of artistic expression.
Well.
Considering I have a small photo shoot tomorrow with a friend, I figured I should redo some of these braids that have grown out. What I didn't realize was that two of them had become tangled close to my scalp over the past couple months, turning into sort-of dreads.
So of course, I had to untangle this rat's nest in order for these braids to look neat once again.. and before I knew it, I lost an entire foot of hair! So there I am, freaking the fuck out and praying to the hair gods that I don't lose any more.
What the hell??
So now one braid is significantly shorter than the rest, and it's near the top of my head. I guess it's really not that noticeable, but this is horrible.. and I'm afraid it might happen again. It looks like I'm gonna have to finally cut my hair one of these days. That's a sad thought..
If I'd have known this would happen, I would have let my hair go to dreads ages ago.
