A New Year

It's been over a month since I have blogged. Shame on me! lol.. I've had one re-tighten since the last time I was here, a couple days before Christmas. 8 months have passed already...and I'm seeing more change in my hair. The roots are a lot thicker and so are my sisterlocks. It really looks like I have taken a comb and teased my hair. I'm guessing that is what it is suppose to do??! I have about 4inches of thickness from the root doing down and the rest is kind of straight with curly ends. Some are locking, mostly in the back. It's also very frizzy looking at times...I have a lot of loose hairs. Still on a 4 week re-ti, using my Sisterlock shampoo & IC shampoo, and also, still braiding and banding...Overall I'm still loving my hair and I get a lot of compliments on them especially when I do lil simple styles. I have a couple pictures from the Holidays. Wore my hair mostly up..braided up the side and in the back. Click to make pictures bigger.

BUNCHING!!

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!
