Wash time again

If you have read enough of my blog, you will recognize that when it comes to my hair, I am a little bit rebellious. So yesterday I decided that I was going to wash my locks without banding the ends, just to see what would happen. Guess what? Nothing at all happened, and not a single lock unraveled. I have been suspecting that the physical "trauma" of pulling out the elastics when my hair is wet, does a lot to contribute to unraveling. So I proved it yesterday. However, having said this, I do not recommend that you try this yourself. It just happened to work for me.

Three Months

Well, it has been just over three months since my sisterlocks were installed and things have been progressing nicely. I am due for my retightening on Friday, and boy do I need it. Since I washed my hair last weekend there has been quite a bit of unraveling and slippage. I have noticed that whenever I braid and band before washing my hair I always get far more unraveling than if I just band the ends without braiding. So until my locks have settled, I will refrain from braiding, and will just stick to banding.
