Brown Pom Pom Hair

I was taking photos of the BVI Festival East End Parade on Wednesday August 3, 2011 and I saw this young lady parading, her hair style caught my attention.  Her brown hair was sectioned off in little Pom Poms.  I can assure you that is the natural color of her hair. 

So eventhough I was on the look out for beautiful festival pictures, I was also looking out for beautiful hair like the gentleman below.  He did not even know what 'hit' him!  LOL!!!

Old Friend With Very Long Dreadlocks

Wow I am so excited about this post today.  My model today is an old friend of mine.  We have known each other for many years.  As a matter of fact our mothers were very good friends and WE became friends!  Her family migrated to USA more than 20 years ago and thanks to Facebook, we can now keep in touch with other on a regular basis.

As you can see her hair is in dreadlocks, she has beautiful hair.  In the first picture you can see the length of her hair.  The gentleman with her is her nephew.  Hopefully I will get pictures of him some time in the future.

This is Lev with her hair down, she normally has her  hair all tied up for work to have a professional look.  She untied her hair specially for me and took pictures.  I wanted to see the length of her hair.  Thanks Lev!

Dreadlocks Stocking Cap

I asked Levi what are the possibilities of going swimming on a regular basis and what are the dislikes and likes she experiences having her  hair in dreadlocks and the following are her responses:

Swimming is very enjoyable, just have to be careful on the environment due to the fact that its so much hair things can attach itself and u are not aware. Ocean no problem let it all hang loose. rivers etc. wrap it up. this is just my opinion. I am very protective.

Hair drying depends on the season. Summer beautiful you can allow it to dry naturally. Winter it takes planning and time allotted to do a complete job. Before you go out in the elements.

Issues: I have tender scalp, so to carry or style this amount of hair is a sensitive thing. Strangers just walking up and touching without my permission (very bad).  When you sit, it gets it out the way because if you forget it could be very painful (neck wise). Will miss it when I cut it!

Likes: its fascinating to see all my hair on my head for the pass seven years and not in the shower drain.

This choice was accidental. My daughter is amazed at the growth every time she comes home. (I still can't get her to take care of my hair she is always asking me to do her hair.
