My First B&B (braid and band) followed by my after B&B Hairstyle w/ Lock Loops!!

This was my first B&B and it wasn't as bad as I imagined it would be..but it was a little time consuming. Based upon how my consultant informed me to wash my hair and also by what I have read from the online forums, I choose to use my Sisterlock shampoo from a spray bottle. I found this to be an easy way to apply the shampoo since I was able to spray my hair and apply the shampoo evenly. I wasn't able to find many suds the 1st round, but the second round produced enough to convince me the shampoo does work.

I then let my hair air dry because I wanted to use my lock loops on my freshly washed sisterlocks. The results after my B&B then using lockloops was magnificent. My curls looks so much better than when I just spray my hair with water and use the lock loops..But then again, it could just be in my head..or rather..I took my time and sectioned my hair in smaller parts..

My first Retighening - no pics

Two weeks after officially gaining new found freedom with my hair, I was scheduled for my 1st retighening. It took almost 5 hours which I thought was a little unusual, especially since I just gave birth to my babies two weeks prior. I did ask questions because I thought I would be in and out of there in two hours, but I was told she was ensuring that each of my babies were doing what they were suppose too. I also was happy that I didn't have much slippage..just around the nape of the neck. I forgot to take before and after pics, but next week (Jul 9), my 2nd retightening, I will have them and post them sooner rather than later.
