Retightened

I got retightened this weekend and can see some growth. I am loving the wavy look because I don't have to do anything to it but shake out and go. I like the length too...very "corporate" or professional. I got this look by plaiting my hair in small sections and sleeping in them. I blend the hair with my fingers after I take it down. I don't re-plait but just sleep on a satin pillowcase.

Here are a few more shots from different angles. The side profile is not the greatest because I can see how flat it can be when I don't do anything extra. I have to fluff it out more in the future or throughout the day.

I've noticed that I love playing in my hair. It feels good and I can see it's changing. Everytime I see a picture of mature locks I get excited because I know that's how mine will look pretty soon.

My sisterloctician said when people reach the 8-10 month range their hair begins to grow like crazy. I'm almost there. In two weeks I'll be 8 months sisterlocked. So my journey continues and I'm loving every minute of it!

Sisterlocked for 7 months now

My Sisterlock journey through the last 7 months. I finally cut most of my relaxed ends off and I'm loving it. I feel more authentic, if that makes sense.

The picture of me in green is one I took today. I shampooed and plaited it for the wavy look last Sunday. It's lasted all week. This morning I curled the ends and this was the result. I really like it.

I want my locs to mature faster. I suppose everyone feels that way when the locs are still babies. I've been reading that salt water will help them lock faster so I will start spraying them with salt water. I'll post pictures of the changes.
