The Good, Bad and Ugly.

So I am at the 14 month mark and I see the good...a great deal of growth. Just before I got my re-tightening, I even got "jiggy" with my styling and received lots of compliments. I enjoyed rocking the new hairstyle with the aid of bobby pins and started really loving my locs again. I forgot to mention that I was a little bored with my hair/ look and was just not in a great place with it. Its a relationship .....it goes through its ups and downs...lol. The bad was that I decided that I would try a 6 week re-tightening schedule and I really think that this may have contributed to the "ugly" for me. The re-growth was out of control and during this time, I noticed that I had some locks that seemed to be hanging on for dear life. there were at least 4 in the back portion of my head. I was not happy but I knew that losing locks is a reality of sisterlocs. After all, we lose hair in whatever form or shape its in...its a natural occurrence. This realization prepared me for the day that I lost my first Lock. I looked at it, held it, even took a picture and then decided it was okay..after all its only hair. I had a re-tightening on Friday (yesterday) and was told by my consultant that I am not allowed to go 6 weeks ever again. I did not argue and was grateful that she was able to clean me up and save my "at risk" locks. She also said that she noticed that my hair was very dry/brittle and suggested that I try a hair oil. I must say that I have been under a tad bit of stress at work in the past couple of months. That coupled with getting married and moving has wreaked havoc on my immune system. Anyhow..I am back on my Biotin supplements and will let you know how things go.
