2 Months


1st retightening and washing at 7 weeks



2 Month Update

Well there has been a lot going on with my locks since the last time I posted. I am very pleased with my locks but sometimes it can be very frustrating. I start my locks with about 3 inches of hair with several different hair types. Very coarse in the top and soft in the back. The top is progressing beautifully and my hair is growing pretty fast but the back just don't seem to want to cooperate. I have had major slippage and several times some of them have completely unravel...ugh. I have the BEST consultant in the world Ms Laura Cummings! We have become the best of friends because I can't go more than 2 weeks without going in to see here. I must it admit, it has been getting better. Each week I notice less and less slippage but I just can't wait till this stage is over! Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying my journey and have NO regrets about my decision to take this journey other than I should have done this many years ago!!

Here is my biggest problem PERSPIRATION! Just the mention of the word perspiration, my hair begins to unravel. I have stopped exercising and most activities to reduce the chance of prespiring which results in slippage but nothing seems to work. I can be asleep at night and wake up with my hair dripping wet...(menopause) next thing I know, 3 rows in the back of my head are completely unraveled... What a pain! but I wouldn't trade the experince for anything. I will post pictures that I have taken over the past 2 months this weekend.

Be Blessed!!
