2 Week Update....

I'm still in love with my Sisterlocks... THE END!!!


Seriously, today marks day 15 of my locks, and there hasn't major change! Due to my hair texture, my ends were curled up by day 2. My parts are already starting to disappear. My first reti isn't till October 19th, so we'll see how they look by then ( I am thinking mini afro, lol)! I'll be taking and posting pictures before and after my reti. I did my first wash last week wednesday, the itching is out of control.... Not much slippage, although I've noticed about 3 of my locks are unraveling in the nape area not sure if it's from the wash or my scarves. I'll probably wash again tomorrow (Wednesday) as I mentioned before, itching OUT OF CONTROL! For now, concentrating on keeping my hands out of my hair and eating up all the info on other blogs! Thanks for following my blog and until next time... Toodles!

I'm ALL In!!!!

Yes!!!! I got my locks!!! I got my babies on September 13-15, 2010 in about 18 hours... I haven't counted them... YET! It looks like a LOT! I started my installation on Monday the 13th at 5:00 PM. I didn't feel that my consultant and I bonded so I was a bit concerned, but my fears were alleviated the first day. We have the same taste when it comes to television, crime shows, so that took care of that, lol! We originally thought that 2 days would be enough, we underestimated the size of my dome...On the first day we did about 7 hours, and 3/4 of the front was done...


Then came Day 2.... On Tuesday, I went back at the same time, and by the second hour we realized.... I HAVE A BIG HEAD!!! We finished what was left of the front and started on the back, keyword here is STARTED... At that point, we figured it was time to add Day 3 to our schedule, and I am dying with anxiety because my camera has free space (Gasp!!!), is charged and ready to take pics of my babies! I must have taken 2 dozen pictures of my half finished SL's, so just imagine what happened once I had the finished product... Yea, I know! I went camera crazy!!!



Day 3 came, and WE WERE DONE!!!! Now the most exciting thing about my installation... I had all my friends, coworkers, classmates and family as anxious (some way more) as I was. They were counting down with me and for me. So as you can understand, I had to make an entrance at school and at work the following day... Thursday, September 15, 2010... Well, here are the pics, I'll let you be the judge!

On my way to school, the day after my complete installation! I got new hair, and to hear my friends tell it... I GOT A NEW ATTITUDE!!! I suppose I can add the other pics... Did I mention I went camera crazy?! I LOVE my SL's!












My SL's on their first Sunday service, about 3 days in, my ends were all curled up! I love my hair texture! Didn't have to wait for the curly Q's... Yes!!!






A close up of my curled up ends... Ok maybe one more pic, lol





I've already been one week and 100+ pics into my journey, including my first braiding, banding and washings pics (next post).... So please feel free to visit my blog and follow my journey... Just please do NOT copy my pics without my permission. THANKS!



Be Blessed All,
