Unruly Hair...Still in love with my sisterlocks

My free styling continues to be unleashed. I have been wearing a headband all week, and some of my smaller locks sticks up like little antennas. I have been trying to control them, but they have been doing their own thing. I am kind of excited that my hair does not want to play fair. It is just telling me that I am locking up nicely. This week I am going to wash my hair without braiding and banding(B&B) . My consultant wanted me not to B&B just to see how my hair will react. I have had some minor slippage, but I have never experienced a lock coming completely out. My hair is feeling on the rough side (thanks Knotty Boy Soap). I am getting more and more small balls at the ends of my hair, it almost seems like their doubling in number.

The following pictures I took right before heading to church. I am a little tired because I just finished working 12 hours at my second job. Also I have a texture shot of the back of my head. Enjoy!!

Second wash

For the first wash I braided my hair in about 6-8 braids, and banded them together. To band them I had used the rubber bands in my starter kit. I knew that for my second wash I desperately needed a new routine. So I braided and banded my hair it four large braids and I was determined not to use those pesky rubber bands ever again. I can't think of the proper name of the bands I used on my head, but you can see below.

Also, I used my treseme shampoo on my scalp, and used the sisterlock starter shampoo on the braids. Cause the first time I used the sisterlock shampoo, my scalp was so itchy. Less itch now. The treseme that I used is a clarifying shampoo, nice and clear to remove residue and build up.

OMG who new shampooing would be so easy

OMG, I washed my hair today with my freshly new locks. Let me tell you... on the weekend I gets no sleep. Today I was able to go home before going to my other job, and I wanted to wash my hair. So during my long car ride home, I braided and banded my hair. I counted my locks and I have roughly 315 locks. Not bad for a pea head.

I used the sisterlocks shampoo, squeezed dried from top to bottom, wrapped a towel around my head, took out the braid, finger comb while using the blow dryer. Then I was done!

I did all of that in 15 minutes! Say what.... not my normal 2.5 to 3 hours. I even made a head wrap to rock my locks in and went to sleep. I should have taken pictures, but it all went so fast! LOL!!
