Well I overshot my anniversary. It’s 28 months; over 2 years since I had my sisterlocs installed and I am still a happy camper. I am not losing as many as I used to and they all of course have grown back. Now the tricky part is taking care of the newbies along with the previously loc’d hair. So I am still not conditioning much as a result. I have a nice hair mist with some e.o of Rosemary that I spritz it with between shampoos, which is once a week.
I was able to go for a professional re-ti in August while I was in Edmonton. I found a fabulous consultant named Jane. Very sweet, patient and fast (it took me two hours to locate her from the airport…long story). Compared to my last appointment; Jane was much faster – under four hours for the re-ti and then another 3 hours on another evening for grooming. My last appointment was 8 hours without grooming, so really, this woman was half the time.
Edmonton is quite a ways from me, and certainly not enroute to any of my popular destinations. Now if Jane was in Vancouver, that would be perfect because I always fly through there on my way to or from the Yukon. As it is, there are no consultants in Vancouver, which I am sad but not surprised since they do not have a large black population on the west coast of Canada.
My next trip “out “ will be November, and if I make it to Charlotte, I will be able to squeeze an appointment with my favourite consultant, Nera. Hopefully she won’t have to bite her tongue as much on my next visit since my hair is way less disastrous than last year.
My hair is now long enough to put into a small pony tail, or should we call it a goat tail, since they run a little smaller than your average pony.
I have to say that when I style it (twist my hair into knots while damp and take it out) it looks pretty darn smashing.
Anyhow, here are the most recent pics of my hair…the summer of 2010. Oh yes, I just turned forty in June and I am feeling fabulous and I think I am looking great and am now training for my 4th half marathon and having a grand time dating. Dating who you ask? Any one I want to!
Cheers friends!
