Today Is My 34th Birthday and 1 Month Being Sisterlocked

Today is my 34th birthday...time sure does fly!!!! Today is also 1 month, exactly, since I've been Sisterlocked!!! I didn't do much today, but go to work, come home, and pamper myself. I will leave the celebrating until the weekend when I will be out and about Chicago celebrating. I will even be stopping by NaturalistOne's birthday party so that we can celebrate our birthdays together. That should be fun because I will be meeting her for the first time!!! My dear husband and son plan to take me out for dinner Sunday after church.

I had my follow-up appointment with my consultant this past Sunday, at which time she re-tightened my hair and re-installed two rows of locks in the nape area. She asked if I was wearing anything back there that would disturb my locks and I told her the first week I wore a head wrap. She told me, more than likely, that contributed to the slippage/unraveling. She advised no more head wraps, but I can wear headbands that only go around the tops and sides of my hair. I believe the way I banded the nape area may have contributed to this also. You see..before Sisterlocks, I wore my hair in a style that was tapered and shaved off back there. So...that part of my hair is the shortest. Has anyone experienced this and could give me advice on banding those small locks in the nape area when washing? My consultant told me to band each individual lock in the nape area when banding and washing. She even said maybe I should keep the bands on the locks after washing.

Above are pictures I took of my 1 month old Sisterlocks. I love my Sisterlocks!!!
