20 months and counting.....

Hello Ladies and Gents!!!

I know I've been gone for a while but finding the time to actually sit down and write on my blog is difficult I'm extremely busy with work, school, and my precious little boy. Plus, I'm guilt of being unorganized and this is something I'm trying to work on but it takes time.  That's beside the point I'm here now write and that's all that matter at this point. I have been trying to take picture so I can keep track of my progress.  Starting today May 18, I will being trying to take a picture everyday to show my growth.

Anyway let get down to business my sisterlocks they are 20 months I can't believe in less then four month I will be locked for two years (WOW!!!!!!!) where has the time gone.  I dont know but boy this has been and adventure. (with feeling of love/hate for my babies more love though) Just recently this past Monday May 14, 2012 I got my hair reightened. The day after my retightening I asked my lockitican how far away are my locks from reaching the final phase which is the matted phase. SHe  told me during my appointment she tried a tighter pattern on my locks this time. And she notice a good majority of my locks at the end were exetremely swollen.  She suggested that we make an appointment so that I could come in and she could groom my locks.  From how she explained it she's going to be trimming my hair to take away some of the bulkiness from the end of my locks. I will be documenting the before and after of my hair to see if there is a noticable difference. 

With my lockitican trying a new pattern on my head I could tell the difference.  My hair felt tighter then previous retightens that I've had.  After previous retighten my hair seemed to look fuzzy after a few days and I haven't had that problem so far.  I recently decide to order some lock loops.

I put the lock loops in Wednesday morning and they didn't come out until Friday morning. First I washed my hair with the sisterlock Aloe Salon formula and Mane N Tail gentle conditioner.  Before wrapping my hair in the lock loops I sprayed my hair down with the Jamaican Mango and Lime No More Itch Spray.  I used Motions setting lotion to help my curls last longer. Let me just say I don't have a problem sleeping in anything from perm rod to flex rods. But sleeping in these curlers felt like I had an extra pillow or something on my head. Here are pictures of what my lock loop curls look like.

 This is the result I got from the my lock loops what do y'all think? I cant wait to see what it will look like when they fall.

These are both sides of my head after taking out my lock loops.
