Tresses








Two Sundays ago I decided to experience the African hair style of tresses (braids). My neighbor Satou had mentioned to me she did them often for girls in the neighborhood so I decided to try it out. It took a couple of hours and my head hurt by the end from all the pulling. My hair was so tightly braided I had trouble going to sleep the first night. It took me a few days to get use to them, but now I love the low maitenance of my hair. We'll see how long I keep them.

I told Rhadijah to take a few pictures of the process and from the pic you can see how much she enjoyed herself.
