Free Styling

We had friends coming over last night at about 7pm, and I got home from work at 6pm. I showered and washed my hair, but there was no time to set it up as I usually do. I just pinned up the sides with some pretty hairpins, and was good to go.



I have noticed recently that my hair has been shedding a lot. Lots of hair balls are lost when I wash my hair. I think this may be normal, but I am not sure. Some of my locks are sealed on the ends, but many of them are not. The locks that are not sealed are really curly on the ends. I guess this is just another phase of lock maturation that I am going through.

Retightening

Well, I finally got my hair re-tightened after 7 weeks. My goodness! I had a lot of tangling at the roots and unraveling. I will certainly try to re-tightening every month from now on. It is really growing fast now, and even my consultant was surprised. It is now long enough for me to clip up the sides with fancy clips, and I now feel comfortable with free-styling.

Six Months

My sisterlocks are now six months old. I have seen a definite change in the locks over the last two or three weeks, where the locks are now fatter and are very unruly. I am not sure if this is just part of the locking process or it is because I am desperately in need of a re tightening. I am going on seven weeks now since my last re-tightening. Ohhhh!! Bad idea!! My consultant comes on Friday and I can't wait.

I have been doing a little re-tightening myself, mostly with my fingers, and sometimes with my nappy lock tool. This maintenance has helped to keep my hair looking fairly ok, but it is really time to get some professional care.

I treated myself to one of Tomoka's hair twists. I got it today and I really love it.
