I had my Sisterlocks retightened this past Friday @5wks. Yay!! I braided and banded the night before and washed/separated the following morning before heading out for work. I kept thinking how cool it is to wash and go in the morning and not have any shrinkage!! Who would of thought a black woman could do that??!! Lol. Thanks Dr. C!! It took 6 hours to complete my retightening. My consultant said she can tell that my hair has grown because of the number of rotations she had to perform...3 in some areas. I worked out (cardio) the last couple of mornings. I usually braid and band my hair in about 3 or 4 large sections before working out. The back of my hair generally gets the most wet. I pat dry with a dark towel before taking it down.
I had someone tell me last week that they told a friend about my hair, but wasn't sure exactly what I had going on, but it was "beautiful". This of course opened the door for me to share my natural hair and sisterlocks journey with her. Maybe we will have another addition to the family soon!!
peace, joy a& sisterlocks lovin'~
