One month loc'd take 2 [SOUND] Hey everyone, I'm back!
So it's been more or less a month since I installed those 2 strand twists during VEDA
last month.
Yeah, so this is what the hair is looking like now.
Pretty much a little chaotic.
You can see there's little tufts everywhere, I call them little tufts.
I think now people are like "oh you're locing, yeah?"
Y'know.
I think it's obvious that I'm locing now where as I think two weeks ago people were just
kind of like..."So what are you doing with your hair?"
From the first week video that I did to now I did go through and very loosely interlock
each one maybe two times max 3.
Just because I was noticing that my hair, there was so much fuzzies going around so
much stuff happening that I really felt like I needed to go in and define where all the
locs were.
So that way when I go back and do an actual real interlocking re-touch up I can know this
is a loc.
And now even though it looks chaotic if your hand is in my head you can tell where each
loc is, even though it looks all over the place.
It's like there's a row, there's a row, you know you can feel it.
I will be interlocking to maintain my locs for the time being just because even though
it is a lot more work when you're maintaining you don't have to do it as often.
And again I like to maintain a pretty intense cleansing regimen with my hair because dandruff
and build up is an issue that I've always faced with my natural hair journey.
I think the strands are rather thin but there's a lot of them so it holds dirt close to my
scalp so I really have to be cognizant of being clean.
I have been washing my hair once a week, twice a week if I'm being intense and working out
regularly which this week I have so tonight I'll probably wash my hair again.
No more conditioners which I hadn't used conditioners in a while anyway but officially no more conditioners.
To moisturize my hair now I will usually either use rose water and oil.
Which right now i'm just using rose water with apricot oil right now.
Just because I have a big tub of it so I just want to get rid of it or if I don't feel like
doing that whole song and dance then I will use Beautiful Curls Reviving Tonic because
it's so light.
It's just an infused tea based water thing and again its so light that I don't have to
worry about the possibility of build up with this.
It really just depends on how I'm feeling for the day and how I feel like my hair is
feeling as well.
With the rose water and the oil, I'll usually combine both of them in a spray bottle and
shake it so that the oil diffuse.
It doesn't actually mix into the rose water because water and oil don't mix but it diffuses
into the rose water enough to where when I spray it it's all getting onto my head.
And then rubbing it in solidifies everything.
That's kinda it...in the comments below let me know what tools do you use to interlock
your hair.
I used to use a knitting needle one of the bigger ones and I would enhance the hole.
I would burn it if it were plastic to make it a little bit wider and I would use that
to interlock.
Let me know what you use in the comments below.
I know a lot of people use a latch hook.
I'm not really about that because my hair is so ridic that the latch hook always just
got stuck.
But yeah one month!
I'm officially at a month, AYEEE!
I'll see y'all when I see you!
