Week 6 Updates

I have been faithfully cornrowing my edges during exercise sessions. I think I had one failed braid-out attempt as a loose natural, but the braid-outs with my sisterlocks have been doing great!
I am going to go for 6 weeks between my reties and since my hair is a bit prone to slippage, I have been limiting my shampoos.
It really isn't any different for me than when I would go 3 weeks (or more...feel free to insert judgement riiiiight here) when I wore crochet weave styles, kinky twists or yarn braids. I have even gone...clutch your pearls... 5 WEEKS without shampooing if I had a protective style. I typically opted to use a "dry shampoo" instead.
I will probably aim for every 10-14 days as my hair progresses; but for now, I will see how 3 weeks works in the immediate future.
All in all, I am overwhelmingly pleased with the decision to wear sisterlocks. The ease into which they fit my active lifestyle has revilutionized my hair journey. Sounds a bit over the top, but it is true. I am able to sweat for 2 hours, shower, undo 5 cornrows and have a cute style...WITHOUT ANY WEAVE!
