I've been trying to keep up with my picture taking so that when I have an opportunity to blog, I've got something to show you.
I'm at 16.5 months and I still love my hair.
I pretty much just wash when I need to, retwist when I feel like it, and go on about life.
Besides shampoo I have been using Sulfur 8 Light every 3 days or so to keep my scalp from going nuts.
I also use Earthbalism Herbal Hair Rinse, except instead of using it as it a rinse, I use it as my daily spray.
I brew it like a tea, strain it, and put it in my spray bottle. I keep the bottle in the fridge to keep it from spoiling and I go through a bottle a week.
It keeps my locs supersoft... and since I don't use conditioner anymore, it's pretty much become my favorite thing ever. I've been using the Flower Power one, but I need to re-order this weekend so I'll be trying all three varieties this time. It smells amazing and whenever I brew it, my house smells like a garden for DAYS!
I've still been rocking bantu knot outs when my roots are out of control, but I'm too lazy to retwist.
It takes about 20 minutes to do and the curls last for about 2 weeks.
Here's another lil collage of just random shots, but you can see my beads. I haven't been wearing a lot of loc jewelry lately, but I'm never without my beads. I got 4 of them on clearance for like $1 a year ago and now I wear them regularly. I take them out when I wash my hair and they're rarely on the same locs for more than 2 weeks.
Pretty sure this was after my last retwist about 2 weeks ago. |
Here's a random loc shot so you can see the length and thickness of my locs.
That's all for now folks!! I'll be back whenever I get a chance, but I'm still taking pics so you can see how my hair is thriving.
YAAAASSSSS!!! lol |
*flips locs* Deuces!! |
Thriving indeed Tracey. I can't believe how thick your locs are and who'd know now that you started out with delicate little braids? My progress has been slow as you might've read but I am in love with locs and am going to wait it out and catch you up some day :D You've really master those sultry curls looking goood!!!
