Today is my first wash and re-tightening! I’m super excited! Tomorrow is my official one-month sisterlock anniversary and I’m so ready to get my hair washed. I’ve been working out 2-3 times a week since my install and my scalp is in dire need of some shampoo. I actually ran today at lunch then let my hair down and took the photos below.

I must admit, I’m pretty stoked that my hair still looks darn good after running 3.2 miles today and working out the last 3 weeks as well. It felt good to release the ponytail holder today and see that my locks were still in very good shape.

I can already see my hair thickening and growing. I didn’t think there would be much change after 4 weeks, but it’s obvious there has been some growth. I’ve even noticed that some locks have started trying to attach to one another. I guess that’s the reason for re-tightening every 4 to 6 weeks.

I have had some slippage and lost a couple of tiny locks around my crown. I’m positive that’s due to the dry scalp and working out, but it’s only on one side, so that also makes me think it has to do with how I sleep. I always wear a satin scarf, but I tend to favor one side when I sleep.

Oh! The witch hazel and sweet almond oil combo has been great as well. It’s definitely something I plan to keep up going forward.

Well, I can’t wait to see what my hair looks like. I’ll be sure to post an update.
