The "Real" aftermath

I sleep with a satin cap and I think I may need to find something that doesn't smush my hair together before I even put my head down to rest. After a workout in the gym and adult "exercise" this is what's left. This morning I spritzed with green tea and water fluffed and this is what I ended up with. Looks more like free styling but I will take it. Tonight I will probably have to do something with it...o well.

The Aftermath

After a workout my hair is dripping with sweat, and it was no different today when I left the gym. Here is a pic after my shower and my hair has dried. I think its not to shabby, although I have lost my curls the crinkles from the braids are still very apparent. I also forgot to mention in my earlier post that I spritzed my hair with green tea oil and water mixture before braiding or rolling. I LOVE the smell...

Pics

The first picture is of me the morning after my re-tightening can you see the difference in length just from my bang alone. Woohoo!!! I'm excited to start documenting my length and hopefully I can retain it all.

The second picture is my second attempt with my Lock Loops. I feel like I'm from the Dorothy Dandridge (spelling) era, but I love the look. I want to try rolling them all going vertical so I can get more of a drop curl look. Results to come....

1st Retightening

I had one lock that totally slipped out in the back and my edges in the front had some slippage as well. It took a total of four hours, and my consultant didn't even stop to use the ladies room or eat. I guess for having over 550 locks that's not so bad. It feels great to have my intricate parts defined again and it feels like I have a brand new do because I've gained some length and its nice and tight. So far so good in this journey and I'm not bored yet. I will definitely start taking length comparison shots from this re-tightening going forward.

I guess I will post some pictures but honestly what is there to see :-). Nothing much, but I will post in the morning once I use my lock loops again...my new best friend!!
