My First Wash Experience!!

So...I finally had the nerve to do my first braid, band and wash!!! I had been scared to wash my hair...yes since May 31! I saw Miss Blenna at 3wks, then 3.5wks later, and this was going to be the longest time in-between tightenings!!! 6.5 weeks!! So I figured I'd give it a try. I already had some slippage and loose hair and Blenna was coming in town 2wks later so what the heck...!

It definitely took me forever bc I also wanted to count how many locks I have!! So each bundle was approx 10 locks and there ended up being about 40 of them so I have over 400 locks in my head!!! I was wondering...now we all know!

Anyway, I did have a scare after the wash...looked like a bald spot!! I'll do a separate post for that...I am not too hip on this whole blogging thing so I only know how to add pics one below the other! LOL!! I need to learn how to do the collages and stufff!!

My bundles - braided and banded! I didn't have enough of the small rubber bands so I ended up using some regular sized ones that I just happened to have at the house!! That's probably part of why it took me extra long too!! Don't laff!!!

After!!!

Sis's twistout

Just figured I'd share my sisters twistout from some twists I did!

Style to compare...

I am trying to come up with a style I can do every month to show growth and change! So...here's my "ponytail" on 10 Aug 08!! LOL! I won't wear this out in public!

Bye-bye Up-do!

01 Aug 08 - I held on to my first up-do for about 2.5wks! It was still looking pretty good though...not sure why I took it out!

I put a little H2O on and tied my hair down overnite after taking the style down! My locks were kinda all over the place! Gave my hair a slightly different look for a few days!

I did a few twists in the front and then pinned them down...wasnt liking how the front of my head was lookin'!
