Decisions, Decisions....

Hey all!!! I thought it may be time to update and let those of you that read my blog know what I decided to do. Well I contacted my consultant and told her that I had decided to find another consultant because of a couple of issues I was having, but mostly our scheduling conflicts. Well she was very understanding but did not want to lose me as a client so she came up with a couple of different options as to how we could make this work. Interestingly one of those options was for me to find a new consultant and she would help pay for any repairs that may be needed. I thought that was nice of her to offer but I had to decline. I don't know why but it made me feel bad about the whole situation and I just didn't feel right about her helping me pay another consultant. I'm sure others would have a different opinion on the matter but I just couldn't do it. So we had a long talk and decided to give it another go. There were some misunderstandings between us and once we discussed it we decided that it could be worked out. It seems that she has clients that prefer not to schedule appointments and just call when they are ready to get their hair done. Well I'm not that type of client, I like to have my appointments scheduled in advance. I understand that things happen and that sometimes appointments will have to be changed but I still like to have something scheduled instead of trying to get in where I fit in. Know what I mean Vern!

As far as my babies they are doing wonderfully. They are starting to "fall" and I'm loving it. This means that I'm making progress which is a good thing. The last time I washed my hair I didn't use the Fantasia IC 100% Tea Shampoo I decided to try Aveda Detoxify. After using the Aveda shampoo I have to say that I like the Fantasia brand a bit better. The Aveda shampoo did a good job but it just didn't get to my flake issue like the Fantasia brand did. Even though I like the Fantasia a little bit more I've decided to still use the Aveda shampoo because of my fear of the Fantasia brand causing slippage. But as soon as I feel my locks can handle it I will be going back to the Fantasia 100% Tea Shampoo. It has a glorious smell and it gets my hair squeaky clean without stripping it of all the necessary oils that we need.

Daily care so far has been fairly simple. Most of the time I put on a LockSock before bed and sleep on a satin pillowcase. Sometimes I skip the LockSock and just let my babies breath but still use the satin pillowcase. Some days I spray with water before I go to work and some days I don't. That's pretty much it. The only other thing I can think of is that when the itching and flaking get too bad I use a small tooth rattail comb and go part by part and scratch the flakes away. Then I just shake as much of the flakes out as possible. I've found, even before my journey with sisterlocks, that less is more when it comes to natural hair.

One last thing, how do you all like my new glasses? I think they are CAYUTE!!! Until next time...
