11th re-tightening

Friday the 11th was my 11th re-ti. I haven't been seeing any changes since the last time I posted. I do have 3 sets of combined locs now, one in the back and 2 on my edges, which I knew was bound to happen because they were thin and not hanging on by too much hair. My SL count is now down to 400. I figured it would be better to combine than to lose a loc, which I have not done so far thank goodness! My re-ti schedule has been moved to 6weeks which I'm happy about! 4wks go by too fast. Still doing the same things...growing and styling. After my re-ti my locktician braided sections of my hair 1/2 way down and bantu'd the braids. I wore my hair like that until it dried and took it out later on that night. It actually came out more curly than wavy which I liked. The curls were tight tho, which I don't like too much so I just decided to put it in a mohawk! I loved the style!!! Pictures are below!

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.

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!

Hair style

HELLO! Just wanted to post some actual pictures of what I did do to my hair...you can not really tell in the pics in the previous post. TTYGL!

Ponytail

Hey folks! I tried a 1/2 pony tail today, down in the back..up in the front. It didn't last long, my face is too fat and my hair is not as full looking at it was before I locked. Maybe when my hair gets a little thicker and LONGER I will try it again =D... Still in love!

Styling/MONTH 2

Tomorrow MARKS 2 MONTHS LOCKED !!!

I was running late this morning so I decided to do my water spritz when I arrived at work today. In the process I grabbed some pins this morning. Something told me to do a little more with my hair this morning, so when I got in the bathroom, I did! Not too much but just enough, flat twist and a umph(that's what i call it lol) in the front...Here are some pictures! Click to make bigger.
