Diary of a Thin Hair Sister

I am right at the beginning of my sisterlocks 'journey' and very pleased and proud that I finally made the decision. Being a tad surprised (shocked?) at my thin hair, I thought that I would chart my progress and share my experience with a community of people both looking to start or already on their sisterlock voyage. (Do not make copies of my photos!!)

The Incredible Hulk Effect



So another nice non-revision activity is cutting T-shirts. (No make-up on my face in that photo. Love me....). For this one:
1. Lay the shirt flat
2. Cut off the bottom hem
3. Cut another .5 inch off the bottom
4. With the two pieces you have now cut off, you should have two loops. Pull them a couple times to stretch them, then snip each one once so that you have two long strands.
5. Cut off each side of the shirt from the bottom to the top, removing the sleeves in the process. (Remember that you have sexy curves and lovely lady lumps!). You should have something that looks like a smock (or poncho)
6. Make tiny holes about 1.5 inch apart up the sides of the shirt (to the armpit). These holes will be used for threading the shirt together at the sides.
7. With the two long strands, thread the holes on the sides.
8. Try on the shirt and make any necessary adjustments.
* I took a piece of discarded fabric to tighten the area around the collar. Now you two have a stunning, hip, very L.A., rocker T-shirt, and you have avoided revising your dissertation too! Enjoy......

Sounds cool. Can you post photos of the shirt laid flat from the front & back?
