10 and 1/2 months

I think I'm ready for the retightening class. Although it is certainly more convenient to have it done by my consultant, I think I need to have a back up plan. Sisterlocks are just beginning to catch on in this area. My consultant is the only SL consultant in the immediate area. I might add also, that she is very good and very meticulous when it comes to SLs.
I am trying to imagine what my locks will look like a year from now. I am now wondering if I should have more locks split in the back area. My consultant split quite a few locks on the top. I think it looks much fuller than before. I now have 350+ SLs. I've seen different pictures and have read several blogs regarding SL size and quantity. Ultimately, you have to comfortable with your final decision, so I'm not sure if I've reached that settled in comfort zone with my SLs.

Playing Catch Up

These are pics of my hair at eight months. Times sure does fly when your growing sisterlocks. Well, not really. The anticipation of the next stage is just so excited.

Hair it goes...

This is my "Celie" smile :o)

These pictures were taken at 3.5 months in July 08. I've spent so much time reading other SL blogs that I've neglected my own. So much has happened during the past year. After working on the presidential campaign, celebrating the victory and attending the inauguration, I can get on with life. Those of you who were very actively involved in the Presidential election, know exactly what I'm talking about. Do you still stop and listen every time you here the name Obama? It doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing or who says it, it something about Obama that makes the ears perk. Yes, you've been Obamasized. Any way, these are some pics of my hair during the summer. Some days I love my hair and some days, it's just O.K. However, I have no regrets and am just very anxious to go through the stages. I would love to get some ideas on what type of oil or moisturizer I should use to prevent breakage that will not intetfere with the locking process. I was reading Brunsli's post recently. She wrote about Martine's loss of locks, and that concerned me. I was grateful for the lesson, but wanted to know how I can prevent that from happening to my hair.
