Month 35

Can't believe it's been this long

March 19, 2011 marked 34 months since I got locked up. In just 2 months I'll be celebrating 3 years with Sisterlocks and I can hardly believe it. I can't wait to do comparison pics, because it's still hard for me to see my progress. I can tell my hair has grown some, but I still would consider it short. Either way it's in much better condition than when I started, so I can't complain.

I decided to break my lazy streak last night and attempt to style my hair. I did a braid out while I was laying in bed, so it's not perfect but it's something :) I'll have to take some pics of it after I unbraided it and post them later.

It's been a while...

It's been a while since I've posted anything, but I finally have some pictures for an update. I took these in January when I was at about 32 months. I can't believe it will be 3 years for me in May! Time sure flies.

My hair is still growing, and I've been lazy about styling lately. I'm not liking my rod sets as much these days. I tend to use a curling iron just to add a slight curl to my hair, but I mostly wear it straight.

Month 28

It's been busy an I haven't done much with my hair lately. I am pretty much trying to keep it retightened on a regular schedule. I'm in a bit of a styling rut but as my hair is growing out some I think I'll have more options.

On the sisterlocks trainee front, I finally submitted my certification application to the sisterlocks home office :-)

Here are some random pics I took last month. I had set my hair with soft spikes but didn't have time to let it try completely, so the curls had already fallen by the end of they day.

Month 26

So I've made it to month 26 of my sisterlocks journey. It's still hard to believe it's been that long. At this stage, I was surprised that I was able to take out one of my locks. I have some locks that are on the larger side, and they started to annoy me so I just figured I'd try to undo it and it actually worked. I decided to take out the one next to it and make the two locks into 3:

The one on the left is one of my original locks, and the 3 to the right are the ones I just did. I may combine the two on the left since one of them is a little on the small side now.

I haven't had a lot of time to do much to my hair, but after I retightened my hair I flat twisted the front and rodded the back. The pictures below were taken about a week after I set my hair, and a day after an intense workout that sweated out all of my curls :-)
