Advice from a Veteran.

Dear loc blog.

Two days ago i went to the bronx with my boyfriend to see his friend Arthur. Mr Arthur has a wife that has been locking for ten years. the last time i saw her was on new years. it was at that time that i had my first set of locks. they were mature but uneven in length (which is why i cut them). anyway she saw me with my new short bronze baby locks and was surprised that i started over. i told her why and she understood.

I told her that i was gonna go to the salon and have them straighten my parts. she said that there was no need to go because i dont need straight parts! She told me that she started her own locks and never went to the salon for anything. she said that she herself doesnt have straight parts. Her locks looked beautiful! they were golden blond long locks that ran down her back. normally she keep them pined up on her head. she maintains them by using jam and spritz. she washes them every month.

personally i dont like to use jam in my hair because it makes my scalp itch because of the thickness. but ima take her advice and just twist my hair myself. after all, i am a two year veteran lols. now im not so concerned about going to the salon. ima just twist it myself.

anywho, its been a week since i last twisted my hair with spritz. my locks are holding out fine. they frizzing up alot quicker these days but you know what, i dont care. these days i dont worry about how my hair looks. i just wake up, rub my hand through it and thats it. some of them are starting to take form. some of them are already budding a little bit. sometimes in the morning before i go to work,i add some lock gel to it. but tonight ima twist it with some lock gel and have it pinned up over night. i dont know when ima wash my hair. probably in late september early october. that should be enough time for my locs to have set in. but for now, just normal twisting.

talk to you later!
