I've been gone almost a month this time because I needed to do some research. I have spent the last 6 months learning about sisterlocks, studying sisterlocks, and pretty much stalking anyone with a sisterlock blog. In the last month, I realized it was time to face a very important fact... I can't afford sisterlocks! LOL I'm saying I could save up the money and get them, but there's so much other stuff that I could use that money for that when I thought about it, I knew I had to let them go.
However, I'm not letting go of getting micro locks. I shall be getting micro braids (We call them 'zillions' in Detroit... do they do that where you live too?) and letting them lock into braidlocs. You'd think I'd be disappointed, but I'm actually so excited. I'll still get the look that I want and I'll be retightening them on my own like I wanted so... I really don't see this as a bad thing at all. I've got an appointment set for Oct. 29. I'm still a little undecided on how small I would like them to be, but I know I don't want teeny tiny. Not if I'm going to be the one retightening them lol
So let me show you what I've been up to for the last month... 2 Strand Twists!! I've been putting them in and leaving them for 2 weeks.
Here's the first set I did, they were regular size. It took me about 4.5 hours to do them, but I was watching movies and taking breaks during it. I wore those for 2 weeks and then rocked the twistout for about 3 days.
These past 2 weeks, I've had mini twists... I actually didn't like them as much at first but I love them now and they lasted much better. These took about 6.5 hours to do. I didn't take any pictures during the process because I was just trying to get them done lol I'll be taking these down and washing my hair tonight. I used the same products as above. Gotta admit I love that Shea Moisture Smoothie! It makes my hair SO soft!
That's all I've got for now. I've only got 3 weeks left until I get my braids, so I'm pretty much going to be going wild with the loose styles for at least 2 of those weeks. One of them I have to rock my wash and go to show my appreciation for all the fabulousness she has given me in the last 2 years.
Til the next time, keep it nappy!!
