My son wanted to be in on the action and insisted on helping me wash my hair. The whole family is in on this. After washing, I blew it dry and twisted it in large sections. I couldn't sleep all nite. I guess it was just nervous energy.

A sista need not take pics without makeup! You guys are seeing the real deal. I'm out of control.

The final comb out. No more afro. No need for combs. It's hard to grasp that.

TWAS THE NITE BEFORE LOCKING

Ode to a hairball. I will NOT miss this at all. The comb out process. DH was nice enough to "stage" it for me.
