Irrsinn.net: taking joy in human unreason

Locs

So, I was glancing through some photos on Facebook from the Hannah/Alex wedding this summer (where the back of my head was camera-happy, evidently), and I realized that my locs are kinda awesome. I've done a pretty good job of weaning myself off of being all hair-ful and stuff, ...

Locs, part deux

About a month ago, I started down the journey to locs again. The comb coils from a couple of months back hadn't worked, but this time I tried a technique I hadn't seen on the internet: I just rubber-banded my hair into sections. They looked like little puffs ...
