I'm glad all those things are working for you now! Aloe vera juice is the truth! I can't believe it has been 4 months for you already. You will be at your next milestone and 1 year mark before you know it. Have you noticed any other changes in your locks so far? Any budding? Do they look like locks yet? I loved that stage of my journey and the super frizzy stage the most.made my aloe vera spray yesterday.
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of aloe vera juice
10 drops of peppermint oil
I keep my spray refrigerated and it's really been helping keep my locs moisturized.
I've been oiling my scalp as needed with castor oil/evoo mix.
approaching the 4 month mark June 25th.
no more flaky dry scalp!
I have lots of new growth. still deciding on what my next style will be
@shortycocoa yes there has been lots of frizzyness. some budding at the root but not much. I notice it really soaks up the AVJ spritz. they don't look like locs yet, still looks a lot like two strand twists but it's growing like a weed it's great.I'm glad all those things are working for you now!

Hey I’ve been using this with success for the two years I’ve been locked. Sulfur8 Loc Twist and Braid Medicated Scalp Solution, 2.5 Ounce https://a.co/d/5wxO61I5 months loc'd! Just got my retwist and style! I got my hair styled into a bun! Yall my hair is just growing so much! I definitely want to continue to use my castor oil. It's been working out great for me. I don't have any lint or buildup but i do tend to have a flaky itchy scalp and I sweat a lot.
Other than that, I think I wanna try a fishtail braid next
@Coilystep thank you!!!! my scalp stays itchyHey I’ve been using this with success for the two years I’ve been locked. Sulfur8 Loc Twist and Braid Medicated Scalp Solution, 2.5 Ounce https://a.co/d/5wxO61I
Don't be intimidated. If you have been watching tutorials since you started your locks, you should be ok.I was thinking after I hit my one year loc anniversary in Feb, I want to do my own retwists at home. I've been looking at youtube tutorials at home ever since I started my locs and I'm intimidated. I worry that I won't twist the right way. But I do want to save my coins since I'm back in school on a part-time basis
@shortycocoa thank you for all of the advice. I've been scared to attempt it on my own out of fear i'd make a mistake and completely ruin my locs. But now I realize that I can do it, I just need to have faith in myself. I will definitely let you all know how it goesDon't be intimidated. If you have been watching tutorials since you started your locks, you should be ok.
Look at your locks in the mirror. You should be able to see the direction they were twisted in. Your hair should also be trained enough now to naturally go in the direction they are supposed to be twisted in also, if that makes sense.
If you make a mistake, just unravel it and twist in the correct direction.
You can also ask your stylist which direction your locks were twisted in, just to be sure. Hopefully, they were all twisted in the same direction.
From what I have seen, most people are naturally right-handed so they twist to the right. Left-handed people more than likely twist to the left as well, but I think it may also just depend on preference.
If you can practice on a mannequin head before hand, that might be good for you. Be confident in your abilities, you can do it!
Let us know how it goes and take pictures!
