A Comparison

Check out the back of my hair! Day 5 and Day 71 (Wk 9)



It looks thicker, the colour's lighter (Caribbean Sunshine) and I'm sure I've got some locks in there!

April Update: Week 9

This week I noticed just how thick my hair is getting. I was able to put my hair up in one just like I used to when it was all natural. It still is too short at the back to have out but at least the back is locking. Yipee!

I had my first retwist 2 weeks ago. My hair just felt lighter afterwards. I've had 2 fall out, one for no reason at all and one I think I could have avoided if i had got it retwisted again as it was falling out.

I've started to wash with my normal shampoo first then with the sisterlock shampoo after and that seemed to work as my scalp was suffering washing with just the sisterlock shampoo. Rightly or wrongly I've started spraying my hair with some old time Sta-sof-fro hair spray and its lovely.

Cue pics:

First Night Out with upsweep


I went back to Barbados with my sisterlocks and they adapted so well to what I thought was their natural environment. I plaited it in two for the sea and separated them on the beach. I managed to count about 450 locks give or take. I loved having my hair out and blowing in the wind. It lightened a bit too which I was totally please with. Here is a shot after I had just washed it!



For work and the gym I tried to keep it simple but I found it was also very boring:

I had my first check up and retiwst the week I got back from Barbados after it had been battered a bit from getting wet so often and "manhandled". This shot was taken about 7:30 in bed when i had to get up to wash my hair on the day I got it retwisted.




Finally I managed to get it up almost pre sister locks. This is my new style Im going to adopt.
