I have decided that it's stupid to think I will be able to post an update on whatever anniversary I am currently at; I need to start updating whenever I get a moment and tell you what it's like at that moment. Damn... that was the longest sentence ever. You'll have to forgive me. I'm excited about my hair! lol
To my Alice in Wonderland fans... Welcome to my tea party!!
- Frizz - I thought my hair was frizzy back at in month 2. To that I say Ha!! It was a little fuzzy back then, it is frizzy now. There is thick luscious frizz that makes my hair looks full and smooths down beautifully in a twistout. I never thought the frizz would be something I like, but I love how it looks now. I look exotic and wild.
- I'm still not exactly sure how they are going to turn out - I don't know what they'll look like months from now. I can't predict it because this wasn't what I thought they would look like 6 months ago. They are completely mine, flaws and all. They have my DNA stamped all over them, from the thick bottoms (lol), to the the random spirals cutting through, to the lumps, and even to the color. I love the way the red grows out and gives me an ombre look. I got that color thinking I was getting perfectly sized sisterlocks and I would keep the roots done. I have ended up with randomly sized braidlocks that haven't been colored since installation and probably won't be any time soon.
- I love a 2-for hairstyle - I love styles that can be worn 2 ways like twists into a twist out. I don't like the way just braids or twists look on my hair yet, so when setting my hair, I put it into an updo for several days, then wear it loose for the rest of the week.
- I've definitely calmed down - I'm not going to say that I don't still spend time talking about and looking at my hair. I still take a lots of pics, but not as many as I did at the start. I've really gotten into food and home blogs and have been considering putting together a blog about my other interests. It's a thought, y'all see how long it took me to actually post a youtube video though. LOL
- The front has finally started locking - Well, at least one side has. It's still got about 3 that haven't but the right side is mostly locking now. The left side...is still stubbornly protesting any type of change. :) If you look at the tri-fold pic you can see the progress. But hey 2/3rd means I'm almost there right?
- Bright accessories - I have always loved bright hair clips in the summer. Now I've got lock jewelry, and clips, and headbands. I usually have an accessory in daily. There's so much pretty stuff that looks fab in locs. I've been eyeballing these bobby pins from Target next.
Keep it nappy!!

length!!! they've really come into their own. What do you do to keep the moisture in your coloured locs. I find mine dry out a lot??
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I honestly don't do too much. I shampoo once a week with a non-sulfate shampoo, then I use a castor oil-based grease for my scalp. Every day or so, I spray them with a bottle filled with tap water lol I'm pretty low maintenance. If they start feeling crunchy then I condition them, but I haven't done that in a couple of months.
ReplyDeleteAh ok. I'm still not confident with shampoos. Non-sulphate only seems to be some of the story when it comes to things to avoid. I use castor oil too, not sure it if helps :/
ReplyDeleteTrial and error...
When I was a loose natural, it took me like a year to figure out what conditioner I liked best for co-washing. Take your time and have fun trying out things!! Try the travel sized bottles, that way if you hate it, you're not stuck with a huge bottle to finish off.
