Lockin it up...All Done!

Today was the second and final day of my locking session. It was very long (and somewhat painful because I am tenderheaded). Both my consultant and I breathed a sigh of relief when it was complete. I am now officially a member of the sisterlocks community (Yay)! It took a total of 18 hours (over two days) to install my sisterlocks. I am very pleased with the result. My consultant, Sharonne Jackson-Little, did an awesome job. When she was finished installing the locs, she wet my hair down so that I could freestyle it. My hair has shrunk up alot but its still cute. I can't to start playing with it. Here are the final pics.

My hair is so thick you can't see any parts or anything!

I scheduled my "check up" visit for about 2 weeks from now so my consultant can make sure that my locks are coming along fine. Boy was it hard to get on her schedule! She is one busy lady! But I was able to schedule in my 1st and 2nd retightening for now. Stay tuned for more pics to come!

Lockin it up! (Part 1)

Yay...Today is lock day! Today was day 1 of my locking session. I was there for about 81/2 hours and only got almost 1/2 of my hair done. I don't think my consultant realized that my hair was so dense. And I guess I have a big head too...lol. I carried over my schoolwork and did some reading and we also watched some movies. Boy was I glad when she was ready to quit for the night. My butt was hurting from sitting all day and my neck was beginning to get stiff. But I can't complain because my consultant was on her feet for most of the day. She was worn out too. So back again tomorrow to finish my do! Hopefully I make it out tomorrow at a decent hour since I have to go back to work on Tuesday. Here are some pics from the first day. These are large locs in the back of my head. She left bantu knots in the front of my head until tomorrow. Can't wait till its all done!
