All out of the SL starter shampoo. What to do?

Okay, so I had time to kill in a supermarket today. I was browsing the shampoo section in my local looking for residue free, non conditioning shampoos when I happened upon Alpecin Caffeine shampoo. This is usually marketed to men, which I guess explains the packaging and the fragrance. The product website however states that women can use the product for intended purposes. What caught my eye, and led me to part with £5.50 to buy said product, was not the promise of hair growth or stopping hair loss. Thankfully neither is an issue right now. What caught my eye was the product blurb at the back of the bottle that reads:

"This shampoo does not contain any conditioning agents so your hair will immediately have more grip."

More grip ey? I'm thinking this can only be a good thing for my sisterlocks. What do folks think? The product appears to contain sls but I'm not too fussed about that. I don't intend on daily washing as is recommended for the product usage but as and when I would ordinarily wash my sisterlocks.

I'm due for a wash this weekend. Go or no go???

Progress pictures


Just a few pictures of my progress from installation to date. I marvel at the difference in volume.

Most pictures are install day and week one, when I obsessed about volume, density and all that scalp showing. Not so much an issue now.

There are a few at 2- 3 weeks in, a couple at week 4 and then at 3 months. The last two at 5 & half months. I took some other pictures on my work mobile phone for the months in between only to find that it is so ancient, I can't find the cable to use to download these. Er well!.

Well here I am, 5 & a half months along.....



Long time no post. I'd given up hope of remembering my log in details. I finally cracked the code and here I am now, posting a quick pic to show you my progress at 5 & a half months along. It was quite a job capturing the back view all by myself. Loving my locks.

Remember my scalp worries??? I needed a picture to remember.
