All loced up...
I washed at the 3-week mark the first wash and then almost every week after that until month 6 when I could go 2 weeks. Had to retwist too. I know that you’re not supposed to but I didn’t feel like I had a choice. I don’t think my hair suffered and I can’t say how quickly my hair loced because this is my first set but I’ve been fully loced since about month 5. I do think that water helps the process. I spray nightly and I’ve always thought that it encouraged locing.

I just inspected my hair and it's doing something but not sure what. It looks like the twists are tightening, making it look curlier. I'm going to try spritzing

Washing my hair today.. I’m almost 6 months loc’ed. Time is moving pretty fast! I won’t be retwisting today. I found some headbands so I can look a little more pulled together when my hair starts doing it’s own thing after washing. For my next retwist, I might get some TW Tight Hold gel.

Loc confession time
I have been pulling the knots out of the ends of my hair.. just doing it to be doing it.. bad girl.. lol my hair ends are still sealing, but I will get that pulling stuff off under control. I need to go back to crocheting or something!

another loc confession
So I have been using an oil on my scalp and massaging it in 2-3 times a week. I decided to use a non-sulfate shampoo being lazy, thinking I will just clarify on my next wash. Yeah right! Didn’t I say I wasn’t going to use that shampoo anymore? Didn’t I say I wasn’t going to use oil? Lol see just doing stuff to be doing stuff and now I see a little bit of buildup on my scalp in some areas and a couple of locs. Now I gotta go back in and shampoo with some real shampoo!
I don’t do no ACV rinses because if you use a clarifying shampoo to begin with that will prevent the need for dish soap and acv baths.

After those two additional washes, I now look like I’m a disciple of Jesus, traveling on foot spreading the good news! Lol

Hi ladies I’m new here but I just wanted to say thank you for welcoming me in. I have been mostly loc’d for a year and a half. I’m just waiting for a small section on the right side of my head to loc. Just trying to stay patient lol.
