First Wash and One Month!!!

Hey all! So, today makes my official one month anniversary. Am I excited? Not really. I guess to me it's not really a big deal. I mean, things have been more or less uneventful. The picture shown above was they day after my first wash. I think the wash went well. However, I did break the cardinal rule. lol. I did not braid and band! No... it wasn't intentional. I actually tried, but I felt like I was pulling my hair too tight. I'll ask my consultant about it tommorow when I go for my follow-up/retightening. There has not been too much growth (at least not to me), but the ends are all coiled up. So, I guess we'll see how we progress. Now... off to work. Ciao.

Two Weeks and Going Strong!

Well, it's been two weeks! I'm super excited and still getting to know my sisterlocks. I haven't tried any styling or used any accessories, but I whole-heartedly love the freestlye on me. I think I'm at the point where my shrinkage will take me... and fortunately it's not completely twa length. Although in all actuality I rocked a mean twa when I was a loose natural. LOL. Well, below are a few pictures (not the best) of my hair at two weeks which was Friday the 13th. I'm definitely experiencing some major "hand-in-hair" tendencies! But... I will say that it has helped me discover the way my hair is growing and expanding. I think I even have a little new growth! Wonder what one month will have for me? Yay me. Well tell me what you think. Ciao!




Okay... I have yet to figure out how to place my pics side by side!... @ KayExquisite and KaliaDewdrop thanks for the help! This may or may not work! lol

Lock Envy....Lock Love

Well, Friday will be two weeks since I've had my sisterlocks and I must say that I am very excited about that time. One... I can finally wash my hair. And believe me, I'm looking forward to that. Who wouldn't be? That is except for the guy whose hair I retighten who doesn't wash his hair ever. Yeah... I know that's kind of... well... DISGUSTING! But all of that to say, that after two weeks I'm ready to wash my hair. I'm not looking forward to braiding and banding, but I am looking forward to seeing if they plump up, or slip, or just maintain stability. I guess it's easier to say that I'm just looking forward to everything. LOL. I truly love my locks and love my hair so I'm just waiting for it to manifest into its magnificence!

As I continue to read other blogs and look at pictures of other ladies with Sisterlocks, I've been falling back into the envy stage. I just can not wait until my locks are stable locks. You know..."real" locks. (Pun intended!) I've also been looking at different individuals who have colored their gorgeous locks, and I'm wondering if I'll want to go that route. I mean I've had my hair colored one time in my entire life.



(What do you think?) But honestly, I don't think it went well. The color was absolutely fabulous. However, my hair didn't feel the same and that was just not acceptable to me. So, I'm wondering now if I'll feel the same if I color my locks (once they mature of course). After my unsuccessful coloring, I chopped my hair off and started again. I WILL NOT be doing that with my locks! I know it's early, but any thoughts and ideas?

Finally... Sisterlocks Are Here!

After 12.5 hours I am an official member of the Sisterlock family. These pictures are a little rough, but as soon as I get some better pics I'll post them for all to see. Let me know what you think! I'm super excited and can't wait until they start taking form... YAY ME!






BTW: Nuff props to my consultant Ms. Audrey of Ocoee, FL. She did a fabulous job and I can't be thankful enough for her time and patience while I nodded in her chair! lol. Anyone needing a reference in Central Florida has my recommendation and can feel free to contact me!
