Last night I rolled my hair using lock loop rollers and the Jane Carter wrap solution. They are so soft to sleep in and they are not hard to use at all. I woke up this morning took the rollers out and just ran my fingers through the curls to separate them and viola here are the results which I am totally ecstatic over. My hair has somewhat of a style it looks so much fuller and the curls are extremely bouncy. I can't wait to see how long the curls will last, but I know that this will definitely be a staple hair style choice that I put in my arsenal.
BTW...excuse my eyes my allergies are on full blast this week.

I love seeing blogs from newbies like me. My sisterlocks were installed on February 22-23rd, 2009. It helps to share the natural journey with other sisters.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Do you have any pics?
ReplyDeleteYour hair is really nice. I purchased the Lock Loops as well and it has been a life saver!
ReplyDeleteBTW, thanks (again) for responding to my post in LockItUp in reference to cutting permed/pressed ends ;-)
A Sista Who Locked thanks for stopping by..the Lock Loops have also been a life saver for me to...but my curls don't seem to last longer than two days.
ReplyDeleteI have issues with keeping curls when I DON'T use the Motions Foam Wrap Lotion. It has been the best and least expensive, and it has not left my hair feeling nasty, flaky, or full of build up. I typically apply the lotion, braid my hair, then roll them in the loops. I also found that using less hair when braiding and rolling works wonders with keeping curls longer. Once the curls start to fall, it leaves a soft nice crinkle look.
ReplyDeleteI currently use the Jane Carter wrap and foam, it doesn't leave my hair sticky feeling and no build up but maybe it doesn't have enough hold like the Motions. I don't braid my hair up before rolling it though, I will try that. Do you braid yours up because of the processed ends?
ReplyDeleteI actually braid my hair up because that's the way my consultant styled it after my installation, so I have been doing it that way ever since. Plus I like the fact that I still have some kind of style when it falls. Let me know how that works for you if you try it. I am sure it will be nice.
ReplyDeleteYou bring up an interesting point. I left my consultant shop at midnight the first night in bantu knots, not what I would call a style. For the retightening I left in a hurry (I always late for something) but I didn't really get a style. It was more like unbraid an viola. Hmmm...I have to address this, but I will definitely try the braid and roll this weekend because I'm taking family portraits tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYour hair is lovely and after a few washes it still looks great. gives me encouragemnet because I'm sared to wash my hair, d/t fear of slippage.
ReplyDelete@Charizma00 - Thanks! I was careful to follow my consultants advice for the first two months. The first wash she did and then I waited two weeks exactly to wash myself. I still had slippage which I think is normal to experience in the beginning regardless.
