Bantu knot & Twist out style


I just got my second retightening and was eager to try a little style with my hair. I love freestyle but I needed a little change

This is my hair before I twisted t.





I decided to do a two strand twist and bantu knots to see what I can create. This is what came of my little experiment:




This was my first attempt. Not too Bad.... I got a lot of compliments once I spruced it up a bit! I'm looking forward to trying this look again soon!

My second month being locked is by far more exciting than the first month. I'm very excited about the months ahead. Finally... I think the long awaited fun is about to begin with my hair :)

Sisterlocks ROCKS!!

The Dreaded Flu and other hot topics

This week everything seem to be placed on whole due to me having the flu! I wasn't able to go jogging, exercise or anything! This was a HUGE BUMMER for me! I did manage to eat plenty of veggies and fruit to keep my strength up. I'm looking forward to getting better and falling back into place with my fitness routines.

Weight Report: I now can fit into a size 14 jeans a little better now.I have on skinny jeans today which has boost my confidence a little!! I still wear a size 14-16 depending on what jean company I'm wearing. Slowly and surely I'm inching into a size 14 jeans. As for my midsection--I'm a 40 D in the chest. I'm happy to say, I now can fasten my bra to the last buckle to make it tighter. Meaning If I keep losing weight in my midsection I will be going down to Cup size of "C"! YEEAAAAH! Besides C is my true size... Any way, maybe this is TMI but I'm so ecstatic that I had to share the good news!

Hair News: I finally stopped whining about my hair and bought me some witch hazel for the scalp itch! I thank all of whom recommended it... It works like a charm! I put the witch hazel in a small spray bottle and lug it around in my purse! I love it stop the itch right in its tracks. God bless Witch hazel lol!! Some of the ends of my hair that is tightly coiled is starting to look and feel a bit stiff. Meaning that it's slowly proceeding to its budding stage. I try not to stretch my hair as much but I love to feel the shaft of my hair( Yes I got the hand in hair- ites). I'm really trying to break that habit, I know how important it is just to let my hair be.

I decided to hold off on experimenting with curl styles... I still feel like I want to wait until I see more length. Plus a fellow sisterlock sister of mine told me too much manipulation with my hair (in her opinion) can disturb the locking process. I like to style my hair but, I will be very cautious with curling my hair for now. When my loctician tells me it is fully locked than I will start to curl it!

That is my progress for now!! By the way my next retightening is coming in a couple of weeks and I'm super excited!! I think I want to talk to her about scents I can wear in my hair to keep it smelling fresh ( even on the sweaty fitness days). Have a Blessed Week everyone!
