Hello there again and i can only apologise for the delay. Now let me tell u my experiance of getting these babies on my head. Now do you remember that i told you i had a trainee putting in these SL's? (if not then u have skipped some haven't u?.....naughty....got to the bottom of this page and read it ALL). Well it took Sabrina 3 days. 11 hours on Friday, 10 hours on Saturday and 5 hours on Sunday which makes it 26 hours in total. That's why it has taken me so long to pop up and show u anything, you see my bum refused to sit down, lay down...yes, stand up...yes but this backside was on strike everytime i mentioned the computer. Sorry!!
DAY 1
I left Luton to catch the 0800 train and arrived at my destination just on time for my 0930 appointment. I came prepared, a little Terrry McMillian book that i had started to read on the train. I stopped of in Asda and stocked up on pasta salads and water as this was one of those rare boiling and humid British summer days and around 9 Dvds... Shottas, 500 years, Dancehall Queen and some Blue Mountain plays you know just light comic entertainment, If it had been something more sinister i might have tried new forms of execution....you'd be amazed the amount of b.s that can go through your mind when your just sitting there!!!
Sabrina was ready and waiting and i planted my once round and pert bum onto the 'hair chair' in the living room, ran my hands along the natural kinks of my hair just for memories sake and of she went, knitting, crocheting whatever it was she was doing with that hook. By the end of the day the middle and back were complete and to be truthfull i didn't like it yet!!. She assured me that it would look nice i had great textured hair that would give me pretty locks and that the appearance of scalp was minimal...
i didn't care.
I hate to see things half done. Anyway i popped on the head scarf and made my way to a family members house where i had pitched up a tent for the weekend. Now my aunt loved it. She's been doing hair for years but had never heard of sisterlocks. Hearing encouraging words from someone who hadn't just taken £275 seemed alot reassuring to me...i wonder why!
DAY 2
Arrived at Sabrinas' for 10 and off she went making those hands busy, today it was the front and dreaded hairline. We both concluded that this is where if not all then most of the slippage would be and so far we have been prove right (see pics). We had a good ol' natter about everything from personal to public and i soon forgot that i was having my hair done. It was like catching up with a long time friend....who i had just given £275 to do my hair (sounds like i've got an issue with the price huh?)
DAY 3
I was in and out the door relatively quickly. She only had the sides to do and i think it took so long because once again our mouths were running a mile a minute. But u see that's what i like. I have never enjoyed the salon feeling ( a load a people up in ur business and everyone elses) but sitting in a house with someone sooooo nice and talkative brings an extra something special to the whole experiance. I have to come to the conclusion that i came off lightly (you say lightly with what??) The price peeps the price. I totally appreciate the compromise we had to make to acheive this style. You see Sabs has a 3 yr old daughter that she didn't get to spend much time with over that weekend.... just like me and my son, plus in total we had about 30 mins in breaks, it was non stop hard work on her part!! Maybe she should add some zeros to the price it's not like she doesn't deserve it...as long as she knows i wouldn't be paying for it!!!
Anyway all done and did i like it........
...........NO.
I'm being honest i flung that headscarf on my head said my goodbyes and left
Do i like it 3 days later........
......NO......
........I LOVE IT!!!!
The problem was it was so fine on my head i looked like a female version of pin head!!
She did spray it lightly with water but it just needed time. Plus i am soooo happy i gave my head that 2 tone colour, the effect looks hot!!. I can almost guarntee that its only gonna get better as the days progress into weeks, months and years
So what are you waiting for huh?????
Here is a little preperation advice
Bring a comfortable pillow to sit on
Sit on your bum not your tail bone....DO NOT SLOUCH!!
Have a big breakfast to keep you going
Talking helps the time fly by if not...
...Bring a book that you are just starting to read (it'll be finished by the time your hair is!)
Wear comfortable shoes....just trust me on that one!!
Make sure you have someone to give you a good back rub...
...neck rub
...shoulder rub
...wherever else is hurting rub
Take the next day off...you will not believe how exhausting sitting can be
You may not like it at first but give it a day or two and you will LOVE IT!!
