Almost 6 months!

It's been almost 6 months! I can't believe it. It's been awhile and today has been declared an Ice day (no work) so I decided what better way to spend a portion of my day than updating my long overdue Sisterlocks blog!
I still love my hair! I love not having to worry about what I'm going to do with my hair every day or even during special occassions.
I got my hair retightened about a week and a half ago. My consultant said that she did find about 4 buds so I am making some progress. Since I got my hair loc'd when it was already 13" long, I know that it's going to take longer for it to loc. But I am going to remain patient and embrace every stage.

Here are a few pictures of my hair over the past few months...

You can't really tell from this angle but my hair was twisted on the side and pulled back into a ponytail here.

 Hubby and I dropping the kids off at NaNa's house before a night out.

 Visiting my little sis (on the left) and my best friend from highschool (on the right) in ATL.

 Right after a wash! I love the natural shrinkage.

 This is after a braidout that's a couple of days old.

 Just because...

 This is my hair when it's fully shrunken. I love it! I shrinks into a bob. :-)

 My hair is stretched here. I just braided it into one big french braid down the middle the night before. It gives good stretch but it also makes it look thinner. :-(

This was my faux-hawk I wore on the night I performed a hip hop dance at my church. I wish I would of gotten better photos before.  This was after the performance.
