Long Time, No Update...

It feels like eons since I posted, and as a matter of fact, it's been over a month.  I do this more for myself and the satisfaction that comes with journaling this experience.  But I also love sharing my experience with others.  What's new?

I have experienced a pretty good amount of growth.  I took initial growth shots at the beginning of my journey and I will share those at a future date.  Also, I have noticed a lot more volume and thickness.  When I came home from my third reti, I noticed that instead of my hair falling, it was kinda standing up on its own.  It was a definite change.  I notice a lot more texture and swelling of my locks.  A friend asked me if I cut my hair, so I guess that means I am also experiencing shrinkage.  That doesn't bother me in the least bit.  I love this hair, I love this style, and I love love love Sisterlocks.

I am noticing a lot of flaking, which I have never had before.  Sorta annoying.  Also, it is taking more washes for my hair to smell clean.  This is definitely more difficult than it has been in the past.  I can't wait for this dry weather to leave us.  I know that the spring/summer will do wonders for some of the problems I have now.  I guess that's all I can think of, so here are a few pics.

Slippin' and Slidin'

After my last Reti, I have decided to take some extra time to make sure that my front hair line stays in place.  I really can't complain about slippage, except for the front of my hair!  I mentioned to my Consultant that the front seems to come undone after I wash, I don't care how gentle I am.

With that said, I am going to band these little babies in the front together, maybe in about 4 bundles, and see if that doesn't help. 

I think my Reti's have gone really well so far, and they usually take about 2.5 hours.  Maybe I can cut some time off of that, if these little babies can withstand the storm.  We will see...

It seems as though we're in Winter full force, so I decided I would brighten up my page a little as we slide into the next season.  Funny thing...I always think of how I can't wait for the next season, until it comes.  Then I start looking for the season after that.  Needless to say, I can't wait until Spring, and the changes it will bring for my hair.  Our Wonderful Creator, gave us 4 seasons and I love them all!  Naturally Yours...
