Hair for Senegalese women is a BIG deal. I have learned in my time here that if you see a Senegalese woman with really nice hair, it's probably a wig.

Case in point: Alison found this wig just laying on the shelf in the bathroom of our friends house. Their housekeeper gets all dressed up for the walk to work, then once at work, gets into her work clothes, and apparently work hair too.
Just for fun, I thought I would put together a little photo timeline of the life of my dreads to date. Just to warn you, some of this is scarey, we are talking BAD hair...enjoy.
