6 Month Revelations

Here are pictures of what my hair looks like at the 6 month mark. I am still absolutely in love with my sisterlocks. At 6 months I notice:

That I still can’t keep my hands out of my hair.

That the closer I get to my next retightening, the more I like the way my hair acts, then the cycle continues.

Pictures don’t do my hair justice…it’s so black and curly that it just looks like an afro or jehri curl on pictures.

I don’t need to roll my hair, the natural curl pattern is good enough. I am very low maintenance.

My ends are still slipping even with banding and turning my ends under. I have decided to try and only wash my hair once between my every 4 week retightening appointments. We will see how that goes.

The journey continues……..

Peace and Blessings!

5 Months

Peace and blessings ladies! I apologize for not blogging more, but it’s hard for me to see much change in my hair. Here are some pictures I took today. My SLs are 5 months old. The only changes that I can note are:
1. I notice that my hair really shrinks after I wash it. I washed my hair last night and this is morning I had a time trying to get the girls to relax.
2. I don’t use the lock loops, rollers, or rods anymore. It took some other people to notice that they couldn’t tell the difference since my hair has a very unique curl pattern. These pictures and the last ones posted are the results of only banded washing. No rollers necessary for now I guess.

I will update again next month. I’m still very much in love with my SLs. People are always so surprised that I cut my long traditional locs, but I have NO REGRETS! Until next time…….
