Retightening Time: 3.5 Hours
Sisterlocks Age: 16 Months
Time Between Retightening: 6 Weeks
From my post at the beginning of last month [HERE], you know Ive been participating in a styling challenge where I was trying to achieve a new style each day. However after a few days my scalp became extremely tender and I noticed a lot of slippage. I tried to continue doing some styling with my Sisterlocks after I set them on Lock Loops, but my hair just wasn't having it, so I had to stop. Even though I couldn't complete the challenge, I learned something new about my hair; it doesn't like too manipulation.

As you can see, after my normal 5 weeks between retightening, my nu growth was like a mini afro from all the slippage and a lot my hairs had crept out of my Sisterlocks.

Because I had so much slippage, my Sisterlock Consultant decided to only do one full rotation on my Sisterlocks and not retightening all the way to my scalp. I was really glad she made this decision because my scalp was still a little sensitive and having a sore scalp after my retightening was not something I was looking forward to. By doing only one rotation, my Sisterlocks were all laying in the same direction and were loose enough that my scalp was relaxed! I was quite happy!
