4th Re-ti

Got my hair retightened on Saturday, it took longer than usual...I guess 4 weeks to 6weeks wait really makes a difference. It took almost 4 hours to complete but I was sooooo happy to get it done. I can see a little growth but as always it shrinks back up. Here are some before and after pictures. Click on pictures to make bigger.

Just Because....

Just felt like updating my blog, nothing special lol...17 weeks! slippage, casing, growth, no more itching(unless I'm sweating or something), shrinkage...everything! I'm passed the whole new sisterlocked stage..I LOVE EM, no doubt...looking forward to some more length and some locking to occur lol...ready to do other things with this head of mine =) Until next time folks... oh! and I'm sure I previously said my re-ti is this week, Saturday 28th, it's been a LONG 5 weeks and will be almost 6 when I re-ti...WHEW! DEFINITELY NEEDED!!!!.. will post more pictures then, I probably already said that also but I like repeating myself sometimes... so there you have it lol.. Lata Gataz!

16 weeks

I have had my Sisterlocks now for 16 weeks, really equaling 4 months but I don't count my month until the 25th... time, as always, is FLYING ♥ Looking in the mirror today, I've actually noticed a bit of a texture change in my locks(i think b/c they are pulled off my face lol)... they are starting to look like others that I have seen locked for the same amount of time as mine =) My hair is soft so I didn't expect it to start going threw this stage for a couple more months being as though I know my hair will take more time to lock than others. My next re-ti is next week and boy have I been doing any and everything to style them because I have stray hairs everywhere, which only show when it's time to get them re-tightened. I'm waiting a week longer to get them done and I don't know if I'll ever try that again lol... I'll post new pictures after my re-ti!!! TTYS!

Been busy, busy, busy lately! Haven't really had the time to get on here...guess that's how it always goes after a while. Not too much has changed... still having slippage around the edges..ugh! I have been twisting and twirling my hair up so I can try to stop some of it. Still coiling, shrinking, the usual...

Another week has passed, week 14! Still don't see too much of a change. Just letting my hair do it's own thing! Have been anticipating locking though because I want to spice my hair up with some color but I know that will not happen anytime soon but when it does, WATCH OUT AMERICA! lol.. Ready to take my hair to the next level! I know my hair will take a long time to get to that step b/c it's real soft with the natural curl but don't worry, I can wait, heyyy... I really don't have a choice right?!!? Been noticing a lot of slippage around my perimeter, nothing that a few flat twist won't stop until my next re-ti which is weeks away. I'm over the free-style look!!!! That style is 'boyish' to me now, I guess with the volume and the length...idk.. as always will keep ya'll posted...LATER!
