More Pictures!

Did I mention I was a little picture happy? :-) Here are some more pictures from my first few days with SLs.



I know my hair is short, but I am thinking of some styles I can do even with my length. I braided my hair last night, spritzed with some water this morning, and got in the shower to see if that would do anything. It was a little curlier look than I had yesterday, although you probably can't tell from this photo (please ignore the weird piece of hair sticking out on the bottom left side).



I was going to get carusos after reading on so many blogs about them, but I ordered some small Soft Spike Curlers today after reading brunsli's blog and BlaqKofi's blog about how the curls don't last that long. I'll see if they work for me, and if not when my hair grows out some I'll try again.

Oh, and did I mention I love my SLs!

Finally Locked Up!

After two days and 9 hours, I am finally a part of the Sisterlocks family!

I already love the fact that I was able to style them right away and I don't have much scalp showing at all. I flat twisted the front after the first day which was easy since the parts are already there. I am just realizing how much time I spent parting my hair every week to flat twist and two strand twist.

I am nervous about shampooing because both sets of sample locks I had unravelled after 2 - 3 shampoos, but I'll give it a try. Braiding and banding will be difficult because my hair is really short, so any suggestions are welcome.

I was told I should have around 350 or more locks but I haven't been bored enough to count them yet. I am a little picture happy and will be posting more soon. I took so many that the memory on my phone was full so I had to stop. :)
