3 Months in and still LOVIN MY HAIR!!!

Hey everyone! My first re-tight was Wed, July 14 and it took 2.5 hrs! That was actually a much shorter time than I expected. My consultant, Wanda Washington, is THE BEST. I had intentions of counting how many locs I have, but have not done so yet. I'm still using the starter Sisterlock shampoo and I shampoo about once a week or every 10 days at the most in between washes. Before my 2nd re-tight, my shampoo finished and Wanda was completely sold out. I ended up ordering on the SL website and the shampoo arrived in about a week. While waiting for my order to arrive, I bought some SeaBreeze to spritz my scalp since I didn't have my shampoo. Let me just say--SeaBreeze smells like medicine!!!! I don't like it at all and it was a waste of money because I won't be using it again.

In my early stage of SL, the itching was extreme. I read that itching is common in the beginning stage and I'm just HAPPY that that stage has passed. YAY...NO MORE ITCHING:D My scalp is doing great, the only negative aspect of the early stage is all the flaking your scalp does!! I still have some flaking going on in the front, but not like it was several weeks ago. To try to minimize all the flaking, I went and bought some Nizoral Shampoo for like $10 (available at your local drug store, cvs, walgreens, etc.). The Nizoral helped a little (smells pretty good too) but I didn't see a big difference.


I had my second re-tight on Wed, Aug 11 and Wanda says my hair looks great:) However, Wanda actually wasn't the one to do my re-tight that day, a "trainee" at her shop did my re-tight...which I was cool with. She did a great job and my hair was nice and tight, but she took 5 hrs:( For my 3rd re-tight that is scheduled for Sept 14, I will be having WANDA do it. Wanda just got me spoiled with that 2.5 hrs, I love how fast she is (EVEN with interruptions, lol).


Today is my 12 week mark with my SL and I'm absolutely LOVIN my hair!! I get several compliments from strangers and many people are just curious to what exactly is going on with my hair, lol. They're not sure what they are, oftentimes people mistake them for braids. I love how different I look compared to others considering you don't run into women with SL on a daily basis. At work, a lot of women are curious about them and ask several questions. I'm glad to share the information if you're sincerely interested, but it gets annoying if you're just being nosey and you have absolutely no desire/interest in SL. Many AA co-workers of mine wear perms, weaves, or wigs and made it clear that they have no love for natural hair. With that being said, why are you asking me all these questions?? Do you and Imma do me....sigh..I digress.


Well, I think that's all for now...stay tuned for my next re-tight...Byyyeee:)
