Okie Dokie here is the outcome

Then I styled it...

I absolutely love my locks!

Happy 1 Month Anniversary to me!!

Birthday Hair

I braided and unbraided and pined and took out and at the end this is what I achieved. What do you think?

here is a close up of my hair at 1 month.

Retightened

I had my first retightening on the 29th on March. Afterwards my hair was so fluffy and light I loved it so I have not spritzed it since and I dont think I will until I absolutely have to. I have added tea tree oil to my water and talk about potent. I put like one drop and the smell was so strong I had to dump out the bottle of water rinse it and I filled it back up and you could still smell it. My face has started to break out around my hairline, I'm not sure what exactly is causing this problem, I added the oil around the same time I had my wash so it could be the shampoo, or the oil or just stress who knows *sigh* I just need it to rectify itself and now! Hey both my birthdays are coming up the end of this week. My 1 month Locversary is on the 5th and my B-day is on the 4th YAY ME!

Sooo ummmarahhhh how about this April Fool's bug I mean really? This sucks I am at a computer center now instead of at home because I just don't know about these things but I don't think it really matters where I am anyway because I'm still logged in to my site so it can still reach my personal information. This is ridiculous!

Anywhoo My locks are progressing well I think I might feel the little balls on the end... maybe just wishfull thinking. I am totally loving this stage of my hair though. The little curly ques give me a nice wet and wavy look especially after I have washed it and rock the braid out. Yes thats right I've made my piece with the braid out, well sort of. The braid out for me works really well when I do pin-up styles. It gives my locks a nice wavy look and well.... I don't know it just looks better to me when wavy than straight in a pin-up. Now me and the braid out are still at war when it comes to wearing my hair out. It just doesn't work for me. Since my last post I have taken Dewdrop's advice and I've left my hair alone for about two weeks, really trying to just freestyle and not manipulate them as much. This has made me spritz a lot more to tame and liven up my locs though.

My second wash went a lot better I guess, My hair didn't feel the way it did after the first wash. This time it felt soft after the wash once I took my braids out, it still didn't feel squeeky clean and some of my scalp was a little dry but that quickly went away. I still didn't band I didn't feel like it. I havnt told my consultant though shhhhhhhh! It was too many braids to do all that and then to take them off when it dried and they would probably knot on the ends of my hair uhhhhg I just didnt want to so I didn't. I didn't have any problems with it though, I only had one little braid in the back slip and that's because my hair is really soft back there. Other than that my consultant says that my hair is staying very well. By no means to I reccomend anyone not banding, please follow your consultants instructions what works and doesn't affect me may not do the same for you. Now that I've written a disertation I have a question does anyone know where to get a microfiber towel from? I have found pesky little towel lint balls in the front of my locks and that just wont do.

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
