Need to Re-tighten

I just took these pictures. I am about to re-tighten my hair. I will use my NappyLocs tool. And I'll post more pics when I am done.

Out on the Town

Last weekend, my sorority, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., hosted a Heritage Ball. My friend Sloan came. She is the one who turned me on to Sisterlocks, so I had to take some pictures of her and her beautiful hair when she was all dressed up!

Tighten Up #1

Here are a couple of pics after I retightened all my braids. I chickened out trying the Nappy Tool I purchased, but have promised that if what I did doesn't hold, I'll used it.

I used my old method of twisting with wax and gel after a thorough wash. It took me a long time--about 5 hours. As I twisted, I used metal clips to hold them in place, then sat under the dryer after to set it in place. This morning, before I had my DH take the pictures, I misted my hair with Carol's Daughter Leave-In Conditioner for Dry Hair. The next time I re-tighten, I am contemplating trying her Hair Honey instead of straight bee's wax. It contains wax, shea butter, and a lot of other good, natural stuff. If you have tried it, please let me know what you think!
