5.5 Months Old

My Sisterlocks are 5.5 months old and I am still in love with them. I had a few (very few) issues. My scalp is ultra dry and flaky. To combat this I tried tea tree oil/water spritz for the itch and then I used Sea Breeze a few times as well. I try not to put too much on my scalp or hair because I don't want gunk in my locks.
I had a re-tightening yesterday and didn't want my consultant to have to deal with my crazy scalp so I tried something new. On Thursday I washed my hair twice with T-Sal shampoo and then once with the Sisterlocks starter shampoo. On Saturday morning I washed once more with the Sisterlocks starter shampoo using less water and shampoo. My scalp felt great and my consultant said that I only had one lock slip at little.
So, I am on a 6-week re-tightening schedule trial...I am going to wash every two weeks to reduce scalp itch and flaking and I am going to check in with my consultant at the 4 week mark to see how I am holding up.
Have I said that I love my locks?!?! They are wonderful!
I have a question for everyone out there? How much do you love your Sisterlocks consultant? My consultant is Stephanie Robinson from Rialto, CA. She is patient and knowledgeable, answering all of my questions with informed answers. She takes care of my 368 babies as if they were her own. And, she comes to my house because she can do three heads that way (my sister and brother-in-law as well).
Loving that I didn't have to cut my hair. No permed ends but my hair is still straight.
Parts are immaculate!
You can't see it very well but they are getting thicker right now.

About 4 1/2 months Sisterlocked

Tried flat-twists. Cute and easy style.
From the side after two days of sleeping on them.
From the back. Have lost no length, even with the braid-out curls.

Okay, so I am horrible at blogging!

I know, now, that I am horrible at blogging. I am not sure why...I am on the computer all of the time. I think it has to do with the pictures. I hate taking pictures of myself but I love my locks so I have taken a few shots to show off the progress. My consultant, whom I adore, says that my Sisterlocks are not slipping and that my growth is right on task. For all of you out there, no matter what you think, following you consultants lead is the only way to ensure that your locks will be gorgeous. Thanks to Stephanie Robinson from Rialto, CA for making sure that my journey is enjoyable!
