1st wash

Braiding wasn't bad but banding was a bit much so I opted out, oops! :-o I didn't have any real problems because of it though. When I go for my follow-up I'll ask my consultant if it is really that necessary for me to band if I've already braided it. I really didn't like the way my hair felt after using the SL shampoo, it still felt dirty, dry and dirty. I'll keep using it though at least until my sample bottle is finished and then I may switch to another shampoo now that I know I can. Here are the pics, its official I really don't like my hair in the braid out at this length and stage but the braid out makes for a mean pin up style. I'm trying to leave my hair alone in response to advice from various people but its hard. I hate wearing my hair the same way every day but I'm seriously going to try because I don't want to slow the maturation of my locks in anyway.

Sisterlocks Week 2

Well This week has been a lot of fun. I have experimented quite a bit with my locks this week. I cornrowed it, and tried the braid out which as you can tell by the pic above after the cornrows did not work out well at all. But after a little manipulation I decided to try a pin-up style which ended up in the hump and the sides pined back. The hump slowly deflated as the day went on but I still like it. Ahhh I'm so please with my locks.

I have started spritzing about once every two days so my locks would be more fluid but it has made that divide between small and medium extremely obvious because as my hair shrinks the mediums really shrink up and get fat and the smalls just get the little curly cues on the end, which are soo cute might I add. Also as you can see from the braided back my grid in the back is not straight up and down. *sigh* ahh well I guess its where it transitions from small to medium. I guess nothing in life is perfect huh? I still love my sisterlocks though, they are great. Now drawbacks If I have to have another debate with another female about my hair not being really tiny two strand twist out I'm gonna scream! I mean these chicks just will not take an answer for an answer, surprisingly more guys have know that my hair was in sisterlocks that females. I plan on washing my hair tomorrow, I have not had any flakes and my scalp really isn't dry so I'm thankful for that. I hope I never go through the itches that others complain about. I want to get some essential oils just to add a scent to my hair but I'm not sure where to get them from, I have some peppermint oil but its the one that you can eat or mix in water for tea rather so I don't know if that is the same one I should use in my hair, any suggestions? I will post my braid and banding and post wash pics later in the week.

Stay blessed,

Kay
