5 month update

I completely forgot about my progress for month 5! I actually thought I was in month 4 still. 

The back is locking nicely but I still have a few areas in the front that are still pretty fragile. 

Sisterlocks: Month 2 Update

At the two month mark I became a little frustrated with my locks. The main reason for my frustration was the fact that they  keep unravelling. I band before every wash, decreased my washes to every two weeks, and tie down at night and sleep on a silk pillow. For some who may know, I went to my loctician at the 3 week mark for a touch up on the 7 that unravelled. Well i had to do so again this friday. She reassured me that I'm on the right path and actually gave me some great news. She said although they are unravelling, they are starting to settle. This made me happy to know that at least something was happening. I went ahead and scheduled my 12 week retightening for thanksgiving weekend and will see how i do in the next 3 weeks. 

As I mentioned before, I diminished my washes because I decreased my workouts.  Since i have no control whether they unravel, I'm going back to working out aggressively with cornrows then letting them dry before i take down and do a witch hazel/water mist. 

6 wee update

So its officially been 6 weeks since I had my sisterlocks installed. Im enjoying them! Although I'm still too short and too new to style, I'm making the most if it. Im the 6 week interval… I washed my hair a total of three times: once in the two weeks, once before I went to get them reassessed, and lastly right before my retightening session. I purchased the witch hazel and hoping to do a dru shampoo at three weeks and at six weeks. I went to her bc I had a few questionable locks and one completely unravelled. So we fixed a total of seven locs. Heres my 1 month mark: 

So, when I showed up to my session, My  trainee rewashed my hair with a dry   shampoo (witch hazel) then we started. It took approximately 5 hours to do. I had seven more fixed that either almost completely unravelled and 3 completely  unravelled. 

Somethings i have noticed is that the back few rows and the front area is growing faster than the middle area. If I keep up at this rate, my hair will be growing like a staircase! Also, I'm  considering stretching my wash sessions until budding starts. Because at this point my hair just curls up when the moisture hits it then starts slowly unravelling from tip to root. So I'll updates on what I decide to do. Can't wait for length and color. 

Started the work out sessions again and will tie my hair down with a satin scarf.
