9 month update!!

Here is an update of my daughters hair at 9 months .... it has grown so much if you compare it to her installation. I can't believe how easy it has been for her to upkeep! she has cut at least half an hour off her  morning routine, no more straighteners etc. This is the perfect hairstyle for a busy teenager.

going out!!

My daughter did this lovely half up half down do for a night out......I really like it, sisterlocks are so versatile!

Spring is coming!!

The weather is getting warmer so instead of free styling or doing a braidout I have started to experiment with other styles, here is one!!

18 months!!

I am coming up to almost 18 months of being sisterlocked .....and things are great. I am back with my consultant, big sigh of relief!! I think my daughter did a good job but my hair is laying so much better at the front. I had one major tragedy!! At christmas I went to a famous loc salon in London for a few highlights and they completely messed up. The highlights are not scattered throughout the hair and the colour in the front is completely bleached out. I was so dissapointed, it has also left my hair very dry so when i washed it at the weekend i did a pre-poo with coconut oil and it is now so much softer.

14 months!!

Here are some more pictures of my hair at 14 months, my consultant who previously retightened my hair and now retightens my daughters hair took them. Although my daughter does quite a good job of retightening my hair I do have to catch her being in a good mood before she does the job which is really annoying. I think after Christmas I need to go back to my consultant if she will have me!! I tried to dye my hair light copper chestnut with naturtint....what a joke it went blacker than before. I really don't know what i did wrong i used 2 boxes. does anyone have any ideas..........I will post some pictures of how it looks soon.

Amazing growth!!!

I have really been neglecting my blog lately.....................anyway my daughter had her locks installed in June 2011 and her growth has been really wonderful, this picture was taken at the end of October 2011, which was only 4 months growth. She has a few which unravel after washing but her hair was very short when it was installed. She loves it especially as it is so easy to take care of.....no more hours wasting time with the hair straightener!!
