At 9am I arrived at my loctician's house and he said my hair was too straight because of me hand blow drying it so he rewashed my hair, then I sat under the dryer so it could be more coarse. I officially got my 1st lock at 10:15am and my last lock at 12:05am so it took aprrox. 15 hours total, in a 1 day session. My locks are both small and medium. I have approx. 450-500 sisterlocks. One day I will count when I am bored...lol I will return in 6 weeks for my 1st wash and retightening session (which will last 1-1.5 hours)! I sat in the chair with a lunch and dinner break for about 15hours and good thing I only have to do it once! Yay! My loctitian applied a setting mousse and rolled up my locks and I sat under the dryer for 30 minutes. Now I am sporting a small curly fro. My hair is 5-8 inches long but appears much shorter now bc of my curls. With a cute headband and pair of earrings this a.m. I was good to go! I am in an awkward stage right now but look forward to the transformation my hair will take. My son loves the style and they can't keep from touching mommy's new hair! I made a trip to Sally's to get a few essentials: a silk scarf wrap, soft bendable rollers, a shower cap, spray bottle for misting my hair before rolling, bobby pins (for styling)and some cute earrings! Now I plan to go through my hair stuff and donate straightening combs, brushes, combs, etc! But I am keeping my Chi flatirons bc Sisterlocks are small enough to curl! Here are some pics below of Day 1...I can't wait to play around with so many styling options!
