Long Time, No See

WOW, I have really been slacking, out having fun swimming, dancing, jet skiing, doing everything BUT worrying about my hair. Not worrying about getting it wet, trying to be cute on the houseboat with a super fro or having to hit the pool in the early hours of the day so I could spend the afternoon washing, detangling, deep conditioning etc etc etc.

But with all this free time, been neglecting my sisterlocked cyber fam and for that I apologize. Here it is now almost month 7, my hair isn't locking yet but I am getting the buds on the ends and they seem to be thickening up even more..I think they are only thickening because I did a no-no. I dyed my hair at month 4 *gasp* I know, I know, I'm a naughty girl but I had all kinds of grey poking out all over my head like defiant children in church. Details on my dye job in my next blog.

Between month 5 and 6, my loctician went on maternity leave so I contacted a trainee by the name of Chesara'e (chez are ray) Fletcher. I first came in contact with Mrs. Fletcher when I was beginning my sisterlock journey and true to my word, contacted her for a retightening. I made my appointment four weeks in advance and once again, Chesara'e proved to be the consummate professional. Since she stated she was new and a bit slower, she quoted me a very reasonable per hour price. Even though it took her about 4 hours and it takes my normal consultant 2, the price was about the same. Chesara'e does work from her home but the environment is very professional and inviting.

My 6th month retightening took the same 2 hour time frame even though I was about 6 weeks out. There is some growth but not as much as I was expecting. I think its still shrinking. I will post some pics hopefully within the next few days. I have been experimenting with more styles and updo's. It must be looking good, as I am getting complements such as "Wow, your hair looks good," and "I wasn't sure about your hair at first, but I like it now," and the still ever popular, "Are those braids or locks?"
