My week old Sisterlocks got their first washing Sunday night. Hadn’t planned on it, but my scalp was starting to flake around the front edges. So off I went, braiding and banding. I mixed the shampoo using the ‘light’ ratio on the bottle. I will probably increase that next time; didn’t get a lot suds. Of course, that might have been because I was trying to be so careful, and with the one way rubbing, and not disturb the locks at the roots. The smallness of the partings made it easy to access my scalp—unlike the braids and weaves, so that was nice. When I took the braids out, my hair really surprised me. It was longer than I realized, and I really liked the way it fell. And it actually moved when I shook it—who knew???
I tried to take some pictures. Got a pretty good one of the top of my head. Woo, that’s a lot of open space up there.
That fuzzy stuff is my natural ends. Luckily, not too many
people see me from that angle!! (The camera batteries died
before I could get any more pictures).
I started to wear my hair freestyle to work the next day, but I thought the edges looked a little wild, so I got the bright idea to put it into two cornrolls, to try and make it ‘behave.” (At that point, I was impressed that I actually could cornroll it. Again—who knew???!! ) Check out the next post for the results.
