New Sisterlocks

Pre Sisterlocks & New Color

Never thought this day would come! I am over joyed, I finally got my Sisterlocks.... My First Love, lol.  Almost a year ago, I let go of my 1st set of Sisterlocks in hopes of getting rid of the imperfections I found in my locks( lumps, wholes, thinned locks in the middle, broken locks,  2 and 3 headed locks) as well as hopes of my hair growing back, after suffering post partum hair loss.

Well after several months I have realized that I not only suffered hair loss after having a baby but also suffered some sort of allopecia. I have several small bald spots that are smooth as can be and I know there will be no hair growing back in those places :(    Anyhow I'm optimistic because although my hair is genetically thin, I know that Sisterlocks (small locks in general) will make my hair grow really long and make my hair appear thicker then it really is. Which is why I chose to lock my hair with Sisterlocks again, besides loving them so much.

Anyhow this time around I decided to change up the color, and get them a little smaller to create fullness. Some areas locks had to be made according to what was going on around the particular lock for example , smaller or a little bigger.

As of  now... like anyone not really feeling the skinned chicken look,but hey I can't do anything but wait and be patient. I already know that my locks are going to make an awesome transformation. I just have to sit back and enjoy the journey as much as I can. I initially opted to get a prosthetic hair piece to help create fullness of my locks due to the fact that I had very short hair (barely an inch or less)  in the middle. However my Consultant was able to grip the hair and make locks, which really made me happy, because I just knew it wasn't possible. I know for sure those locks will not stay once I wash my hair, simply because they are too short.  However it gives me hope. I still might use the piece temporarily but I know I wont need it for long :)

Although I am a Certified Consultant and can fix a lock or locks as soon as a problem occurs. I'm going to try my best to prevent any problems. For one no products besides water spritz and the Sisterlocks Starter Shampoo. I figure the more compliant I am the sooner my locks will lock.  I plan on getting my hair retightened every 3-4 weeks, no greater than 4. In the beginning I will let my Consultant retighten my hair just because I liked to be pampered.... unless I get bored. Don't really have any styling options right now but I plan to were curls and more curls because it helps create a little fullness in the beginning,

New Sisterlocks

My hair is about 3 1/2 to 4 inches all around 1 inch or less in the middle areas. The process took over 2 days i think around 20 hrs give or take.  Not sure how many locks I have but I am curious to know. I will count them one day.

 Although I'm not new at this I'm more in love this time around then I was the first time. I will be blogging more often if time permits.

So let the new journey begin......

Stay tuned for updates

Until Next Time Much Love
