Almost Four Months

A week or two from four months, yah!!! My regime I am starting to get a handle on it, I think. I still have a lot of balls on the ends of my hair and a lot of stringy loose hair. I am wondering if that is hair that is loose from when I took apart my mature locs. You know hair that should have shed but was still attached because it was locked. I am thinking about cutting them; then I change my mind. So the indecision is keeping them in tack for now.


This is a pic of the locs in the front before my re tightening. I put the paper in front of my face so you can see the actual locs. The loc all the way on the right is one that I did not feel like taking a loose. It was pretty small compared to my old set. Although when I see it against the rest of these little ones, I probably should take it down, we will see.

Well, I did my re tightening about the first weekend of this month. It did take me a day to re tighten and band. I had posted earlier that I was having a time with slippage, well that is because I forgot the first rule banding. Please do not ask me why I forgot, I guess it is a prime example of a brain cramp, OK I just got this from one of my work contacts. Love it. So when I remembered, I started banding instead of going a month without shampooing my hair, I have been shampooing every two or three weeks. My schedule is interesting these days and some of it is just laziness. This banding takes time, it is worth it because then there are just a few that need additional attention that is mainly at the front. There was a discussion on Nappturality a few months ago about re tightening before or after shampooing. I think because I am still in the early stages of this set I have to band because if I do not a lot of them will come apart. So for me right now interlocking, banding and then shampooing is working well. Once I can stop banding then I will revisit this.
Here are a few more pics, I am working with my new mini cam but I probably should have invested in a camera. Then I could do video's. Maybe next year. Anyway, I tried to get some shots of the back of my hair, but it is hard snapping pics with my back to the computer. OK, I will work it out, I probably will have to get someone to help me. LOL




Don't you think this gray is cool. I am mostly salt & pepper except in the very front, which is almost white. I guess it is a good think I am starting this set before I am totally white. I will try to record what is going on with these front white ones. I am sure they are going to cause me the most information while they settle into locing. :-)




As you can see I am still trying to get some clear rear shots. I will also try to get someone to take a close up shot of my rear soon.

Well until next time, may GOD continue to shine HIS face on you. May you know the height, the depth & the width of the love of JESUS CHRIST. HE who loves you and gave HIS life for you.
