Breaking all the "rules"

So I got my sisterlocks  installed on November 27. I love my babies and there will be pictures posted sometime in the very near future. Here is the thing, my loctician told me not to wash my hair until I came back for the re-tightening in three weeks. She also said that she will tell me how to wash, band & bundle, give me my starter kit at that appointment (oh and take pictures too). This is all contradictory from what I learned about sisterlocks 1. That you can wash your hair the next day(if your want) 2. You get the starter kit the day of your install 3. Your follow up appointment is in four weeks  4. You should have washed your hair twice before the follow up. I am also curious as to why she is taking the follow up pictures 3 weeks later instead of after my install. Maybe she was tired and wanted me out of her chair, I know I was ready to go. The rule breaking comes into play about my waiting until my follow up to wash my hair (it's coming up on Thursday). Well I washed my hair this weekend and I did not band & bundled. My logic is that I did not do it on the tester locks and they were fine. My hair texture is tightly coiled, so I do not think slippage will be an issue. I did notice that my hair has grown a lot. I do not believe this is slippage, unless all of my hair slipped at the same rate. Doubtful right? I have not used the creamy crack for over 10 years and I was wondering why my hair is not longer then it is. I  realize that when I get the micros, or whatever extension twist and braided styles, I see a lot of hair loss in my comb upon removal of the style. This plus having my teen or partner helping me taking out my hair and they are not being careful. My partner did the unforgivable thing one time by trying to save time and cut pass the glued ends on my micros. Uhhh yeah that's my hair sweetheart. Inside I was fuming. Anyway I am happy to see that my hair is growing so fast with the sisterlocks. I am looking forward to seeing what my hair will look like in the near future.
