Locs, Sweat and Heels- My Sisterlocks Journey

Not sure if it is the recent rain and resulting frizz, or just boredom setting in, but I am at a loss for new styles. I wore this style last week, but forgot to post pictures. This week, my hair just wouldn't cooperate, so I wore my hair DOWN for about 5 hours on Tuesday, but promptly put in some french braids the next day. My hair is dirty and I plan on shampooing tomorrow evening or Sunday morning. Perhaps that is the reason for the lackluster hair? Or maybe it is in a growth phase? I have 2 videos and accompanying posts in the works...STAY TUNED!

This week's style is an homage to my loose natural days (as if I have been locked for 5 years instead of 5 months LOL).

Weeks since last retie: 5 weeks, 2 days Length of retie: 3.5 hours Slippage/Bunching/Loc Repair: no bunching, only three (3) locs that slipped completely out and had to be re-established Length: n/a Fullness: per my consultant, the back of my hair is looking more full! Sealed ends: n/a Other noteworthy items: This was my first time visiting the salon on a Saturday. Want to see my grid? Watch the Youtube Video or click this link . Now what we (or maybe just I) want to know is: Am I free to freestyle? Or has my loc lock-down been extended? I AM FREE ...to have a good attitude about another 5 weeks on loc lock-down! In the long run, this is what my consultant feels is best for my hair. And I am thankful for her wisdom and willingness to tell me what I NEED to hear versus what I WANT to hear. I did not execute this style well in my opinion, so I changed it to the style you see below. Re-styled from the above picture
