First off , just a sinple apology for my vsitors/followers. You will not find any great 'style options' here. Simply because my hair is so soft that the delicate twist out I had done previously may have hindered my loc'ing process, needless to say I just stopped it! I can tell you since I did not wash my locs for 8 weeks and left it completely alone I now see a MAJOR difference
A note to those who have fine texture and loose curl pattern hair, do not (avoid if at all possible) over manipulating your loc's into styles UNTIL you have fully loc'd up. It can contribute to or even cause slipping and unravelling from the ends, and no end of frustration.
OK, last night I realised something ... interesting ... happened/ is happening to my hair. My locs felt ... FEEL different. I can't seem to find the words to accurately describe it, but they feel heavier on my head.
It may have something to do with shrinkage, my hair being loose curly in its natural state, curls up like a spring once wet, that has not changed since I got my Sisterlocks, However, it seems to shrink a lot less now ... anyway I digress, My locs feel full, and heavier. Also, my first loc at the nape seems to have lots of company now ( nape loc' never shrinks!) because I can no longer differentiate it apart from the others. (it was much longer and stood out from the rest!) ... Hmmm .... What do you think? ... DARE I say it ...?
My styling choice is wild and free, suiting my nature! In fact I have never been good at playing dolly in my hair, even in its relaxed state I would roller the hair on rods and let it out and go, falling anyhow.
I opted for sisterlocks because it offered me freedom from all that, I just wanted to be able to wash and go allowing my mane to do as it pleased ...
Today I played about with my web cam to try and create some images to help explain to you guys this stage in my process,

The great unwashed ...
On a slightly lighter note. School is out! Soo to help my hair lock I have decided to TRY my hardest NOT to wash my hair until my big all dayer with my consultant in January. I mean ain't no one around to smell it right?... ;o)
Also I am not manipulating my hair in ANY way. No twisting or braiding or anything else, just leaving it to loc's up like the old fashioned way no washing (sulk!)! No playing in or assisting freestyle ... just get up and go ... then get down and sleep, spritzing only with water and lemon juice.
This will not be too difficult because I am a bit under the weather, soo intend to rest up a lot to recouperate. Thank God for tesco, sainsbury, marks and spencer, body shop, amazon, la senza and pak DOT COM!!! LOL!!! I have all I need at my finger tips!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year / Happy Holidays to all who celebrate it x
I am proud to say I have attended a total of ZERO shops and have ALL the presents and food I need ... tee hee. Everything is nicely marinating in the fridge as I type, and am currently empathising with all my sisters getting hit in the rear by crazy christmas shoppers, trust me Christ ain't got nuttin to do with it!
