One month retightening



Posted by Picasa




My how time passes when you're having fun. It doesn't feel as if a full month has come and gone but it has and with it has gone any anxiety I had about getting sisterlocks.

At my first retightening my consultant asked me if I liked my hair and I responded that it was growing on me. I meant that. I would love to share the enthusiasm that I have read about on so many blogs. I would love to scream from the roof tops that I'm in love with my sisterlocks. Make no mistakes about it - I love my hair and I'm very much in like of my sisterlocks, but as usual, it takes more time for me to fall in love than the average person.

I have experienced the hand in hair syndrome that so many others confessed to. I have experienced the itchy scalp which lasted for about a week. I have braid and banded and felt my hair blow in the wind. In essence I suppose I've experienced what any one would in the honeymoon phase of a relationship. We're getting to know one another, feeling each other out and warming up to each others pet peeves and imperfections. Like any other relationship I approach, the ride will be worth any falls that I may incur.

Stay tuned - I might try to style my hair instead of freestyle one day soon....maybe!

Hi Phoenix,

Hang in there. Try an applecider vinegar rinse for itching.

Also, I have found that washing more often can lead to itching.

Looking forward to your styling pics!

Thanks for the encouraging words, The majority of the itching has abated but if they shall return, I'll definetly try the AVC rinse.

I have been using essential oils like tea tree or Jae carter Solutions Scalp Renewing Oil. It elps with the itch. Your locks are coming along nicely.
