Today I had my follow-up appt. I had about 6-8 locks that slipped. Those have been re tightened and my consultant says I am on track. I have done my first bantu knots. I slept in them overnight and rocked the curls the next day. The curls were a little tight for my taste, so I sprayed with a little water to loosen them up. I wasn't daring enough to wear the bantu knots out in public. I guess I'm a little too conservative for that.
On another note. I have been itching like crazy. No flakes just a bad itch. I washed with the sisterlocks shampoo. My consultant advised me to try the ACV rinse and see if that helps. So off to Wallgreens I went to get my spray bottle. I will be doing that tonight. I will let you know if it stops the itch. Funny thing is, I keep hearing my grandma's voice in my ear saying "baby when ya hair itch that means its growing." I'm hoping she's right.
Other than that, I'm doing well with my locks. Just trying to be patient with this short stage. I'm not very good at styling so I have been on youtube non stop. I have a few ideas and I'm am going to try them all out. I'm really glad I decided to come back into the fold. I just keep thinking if I hadn't cut them off, I would be soooo fly right now. Hindsight is a mutha!!!!
What do you mean you haven't worn your bantu knots in public??? YOU JUST DID!!!! And it's Rockin'!!!
ReplyDeletewhen I first started locking last year, I got a SHOCKING itch, no flakes really, I think it is just the scalp adjusting, it went away and I never had trouble with it again, its like my scalp new I was doing something different.
