kinky dread hair -- which comes in a blue package and runs $5.45 a package and comes in long ropes of coarse hair.
The second type of hair- "Marley Braid" it is is "nappy hair" for women who have softer hair.. it says on the package that it is easier to work with and still gives you a locked or twisted appearance.
initially i just braided in hair by taking chunks of sisterlocks (between 9-20 at a time) and leaving some loose in general-- and braiding the hair into it. This was practice braiding. But then I realized the pattern of my hair was making me look like i had very "scalpy" sections..to cover this up, i weaved other pieces of the kinkier hair through the base and double strand twisted it.
I left the front of my hair out and sisterlocked.. similar to what my hair looked like before I cut it all off. However, this look would definitely look better on someone whose hair is kinkier and fuller. (as usual)
This is what it looks like but nothing is up close
you must wear it in a pony tail because the braids and twists are uneven but it still looks fun and exotic
The problem with sisterlocks is there is no 3 inch "under-afro" underneath it from lack of twisting. Sisterlocks are interlocked all the way to the base. Right now i only have 1/4 of an inch of growth. my 3rd re-tigh isnt until october 4th..so i imagine it getting better closer to period of time where you are due for one... so basically, what i am trying to say is that thinner hair is more apparent. I will compare this with a picture of my old set of locks
still prefer my old set of locks (9/6/2011)
I feel thinner and sexier with a longer look now.. so its cool to experiment with both while my sisterlocks grow out. Next blog is of me after redoing several of the locks into smaller, more even spacing and added beads and colors.
