Sisterlocks Week 26, Month 6

happy 6 months 2 my sisterlock babies!!!

i am so proud of my sweet babies!!!

they got attention yesterday 4 a reti..

they are really needing a vacay though..

i wonder if i can get hubs 2 do

something special to celebrate?..

after my reti i've been feeling

my hair & i thought my

hair feels so different & i am managing it..

my hair is healthy.. my hair is growing..

hmmm.. this feeling... ummm..

its something that i can't explain

but i think, wow my hair is so

beautiful in this state its in..

almost like this is my hair

growing from my head.. lol i know

its never felt this way b4..

its different, it doesnt even

feel like my hair..

but i'm glad it is!!

its all me and its all mines!! =))

this pic was taken 2 days before reti..
i was duck'n it with my duck lips
& scissor hands

Up Up & Away Update

ok so here's my update..... up up & away was very cute & convenient.. i set a 1 week goal for the do.. that was a #fail.. but a 2 day #success!! this is probably because i did it myself & i was trying something new.. couldn't really keep the back twisted properly.. it did the job.. i am going to have it done by a stylist at some point.. & on day 2 i dropped my curls on one side.. the rest of the week i wore a princess crown & curls..

Sisterlocks Up Up & Away

Here is my cute & sassy updo.. I'm calling it Up, Up, & Away!! I achieved this style by making 2 large twists going up the back.. & 5 medium twists going back across the front.. I used pink perm rods to get my curls.. H2O spritzer with a little Lotta Body mixed.. && 7-10 bobby pins for security.. I am pleased with the outcome.. Its not tight.. It feels & looks grrrrrrrr8!! Hoping this do lasts for the week.. So far so good!! But I'll let you know how it goes!!!!!! Week 25, month 5!!!! Yayer!!!

Stick 'um up!!!

This is dedicated to the lockers who keep their hands in their heads!!! 

STICK 'UM UP!!!

TAKE YOUR HANDS

OUT OF YOUR HEAD!!

Really.. This is for me!! Hands are always touching!! I don't know if it's the texture of my babies.. If its the crinkly wave pattern.. I just can't

"put my finger on it" lol!!!! Get it?!!

I'm gonna take a different stand on this

Hand-in-hair-itis..........

Maybe just maybe... I am gonna look at it as encouragement!! You know like a high five!! Just say some encouraging words while you give your babies high fives!!!

However.. If I feel like I am over encouraging I'll just stick 'um up! ;-)

I know I am not pulling my hair out.. Or manipulating my locks.. Only encouraging them!! I tell them they are beautiful!! That I not only have good hair, but I have great hair and the best hair!!!

Yes I did!!!

*smoochie smooch*

my scalp and hair moisturizers

here are some products i use every once & a while.. not daily for sure!! my Sisterlocks are still baby gurls and slippage aint cute!! one of my spritzer bottles is h2o, olive, shea, avocado oils (GARNIER FRUCTIS).. i added coconut oil =) tehehehe.. shake-it-a-baby real good & spray.. another is Taliah Waajid African Healing Oyl.. both smells & feels fabulous!! 

i love it!! hubs cringes when i spritz my Sisterlocks with my h2o bottle of patience, then i squirt it in my mouth!! lol gets him everytime.. then he says black gurls cant put water in their hair.. i say this one does!! bam! i must say i love the way he loves my hair & its transition/journey.. && he cant keep his hands out of it either.. i guess thats what we will call an attraction to our babies.. i am thankful that he has always said i don't do my hair for him & he is a great supporter.. luv u babes.. ~smoochie smooch

happy 5 month locversary!!

i got my reti @ 4 weeks yesterday.. & today is 5 months.. tomorrow is week 22!!! i am very excited about my progress!! everyday is a perfect hair day.. the curls are a day 3 success.. & they even lasted through reti session! BOOM-KAK

on another note... my hands stay in my hair!.. i am sure everybody else says this & its true!! i love my hair & i love the way it feels.. lol.. i know i know i know.. but its like a little tingle in my fingers or in my scalp.. & there goes hand is all up in my head!! i don't bother my hair when i have a bonnet or scarf on.. so i am tryna imagine a fake bubble around my head & i wont have the -itis @ that moment.. you wouldn't know but i just stopped typing & did it again..

HAND-IN-HAIR-ITIS is REAL!!!

First Retightening & Shampoo

had my first retightening at 6 weeks..
these are pics from weeks 1-5.. 

i guess i had shamoo'd my hair about 2 times..
i braid & band, bunch & band.. 

i do remember kinda being afraid on my first poo.. 

now i b&b and poo with the quickness.. i tend to section in 6..

part my hair in half and 3 bundles on each side..

at times i've done 7 with an extra bundle in the back mid..

this is where my hair does a lot of scrunching..

i do a pre scrub with poo 4:6 h2o

i use SL Starter Shampoo old and new formula..

lathers good for me, smells, feels, and looks cleans..

lastly i use a shirt to dry.. and separate each Sisterlock..

air dry and style or let the babies be free =)
