14 Weeks & Curls!

Curls and more curls. My hair is changing and I continue to love it. The nape of my hair (the kitchen) is beginning to lock first. The curly que ends are turning up into the lock and they are beginning to get a cylinder feel to them. Not much difference in the rest of my head, but I know I'm progressing. My hands continue to absently migrate to my head as if they have a mind of their own. I love the feel of being able to touch my hair all the way to the scalp without worrying about a thing - and no residue from all the gook I used to use. Distilled water and a few drops of Rose Water concentrate remain my only hair regimen.

I've made a serious attempt to stay away from the curlers. But I continue to do the braid out. Since my 3rd retightening on September 2, I haven't worn any hair ornaments, head bands or scarves. Haven't had to, perhaps because it's gaining length.

This look was achieved by braiding my hair in 10-12 large braids and spritzing well with distilled rose water. But this time I rolled the ends with the bendable rollers. The result - this curly, krinkly look. I received so many compliments at work. I've worn it like this for three days now, without doing anything else to it. I don't even tie it up at night. I just wake up, shower, finger comb and style and off I go. I do indeed LOVE MY SISTERLOCKS. Thank you Dr. Cornwell!
