Second Wash

In anticipation of my consultant coming tomorrow for the first follow-up visit, I washed my hair again last night. I have not had any more itchy scalp issues since I washed my hair last week, so I decided to be good and use the Sisterlocks shampoo this time. I washed my hair as thoroughly as one can with elastics on the ends, but somehow I did not get that really nice clean "just-washed" feel when I was done. Anyway, despite this it felt nice and clean this morning, when it was dry.

I used my Soft Spike Curlers to set my hair. Talk about instruments of torture. I made the mistake of sleeping in these, and they are just as uncomfortable as they look.



But they give a very nice set. The curls are softer than the perm rod set that I did last week.



I must say that I am really loving my hair now. It took me two weeks to be able to say this, but I am now excited about my hair. The true test came this week, when I went on a business trip to Trinidad. When I travel, I usually pack all my hair paraphernalia, which includes oil and moisturizer, brush, comb clips etc. And this has become very difficult since 9/11, where you are now severely limited by the volume of gels and liquids that you can carry with you.

This time, I packed nothing pertaining to my hair. It was a very liberating experience. All I did when I got up in the mornings was to wet my hands with water and gently fluff up the squashed down locks. They sprung right up and I was ready to go. Fabulous!

My girls now tell me that they love my hair.
