First Shampooing experience

Okay so its was time for my first shampoo experience!
After a long week at the gym ...free to sweat in my hair !
No worry...right.... " boy did I love that" no more going home to blow dry
my hair! Well I braided up my hair in several little sections and put my
Barrettes on to secure my ends. I grabs the Sisterlock Starter shampoo and
proceeded to massage the shampoo in my scalp. I pour it directly in my hand and massaged it in and down the braids...! next I rinsed and washed again.... After rinsing and rinsing....I was done! I let my hair air dry overnight so I would have the curly look. After taking out my braids I notice my scalp was chalky white in some spot like I had some sort of bad dandruff problem the ends of my hair had a dull..dry... fried looked. I guess after all that so called rinsing I was doing..... it was not enough for this shampoo, I have residue lurking :0 ! Now my head is itching like never before. I guess next time I will have to dilute the shampoo instead of using it directly from the bottle
(i'll will post pics of the dull effect of the shampoo.......rinse rinse and rinse again time 3)
By the way does it matter the temperture of the water when shampooing your locks?

The Journey Begins

Hello All, I am officially a part of the sisterlock community Yippie! My Journey Began March 21, 2008. It didn't seem like it would ever come.Especially after taken down my last set of Kinky twist...so you can only imagine..LOL!

I was ready to embrace the nappy side, but man is my hair

thick! After years and years of wearing Braids....Zillions and then

most recent Kinky Twist(which helped me get a feel for the kinky look)....I decided since I never wear my hair.....why not transition to sisterlocks!

I had by first glance at sisterlocks 3 yrs ago......, my son's Daycare

provider had them....... and the curiosity began! After that, I knew I wanted

them but wasn't aware that I didn't have to completely grow out

my permed ends...! So three years later I was referred to her Locition

Paulette of Locks4Life.I'm so glad I decide to go to Paulette. My

locking session was so relaxing.. my session took approx 12hrs

but didn't not seem so at all. Everyone in the shop was so friendly!!!

I felt welcomed and very comfortable ....I knew I was in good hands!

Thanks for stopping by,.....I look forward to charting my progress......feedback is always welcomed.

Well here are a few pics taking at my locking session and my 2nd day

locked, I must say I thought my hair was much shorter.
