Dear lock blog,
The last time i washed my hair was October 9th. Yesterday i washed my hair because it was getting too frizzy. Ever since my last wash, my hair has been wrapped up in scarves and hats and stuff. i realized that the reason why my hair was getting so frizzy so quick is because of the products ive been using.
Every night before i go to sleep, i wrap my hair in a satin scarf to keep it from frizzing but it still does. Lately ive been using Organic Root Stimulator Lock and Twist gel. And in the beginning it was working well. my hair was twisted nicely and it didnt take long for it to dry. but thats just the problem. it left my hair dry and because my hair was dry, it would frizz up easily no matter how much oil i put in it. And this time around im trying not to put too much products in my hair but i still want it to retain its moisture. The only product that i know that can acomplish this is Jamacian Mango and Lime Locking Firm Wax. When i was done using it my locks were twisted tight and they retained some of its moisture.
Now this product i used in my first set of locks and it worked pretty well. i just didnt like that it was too greasy. But ive learned that you dont need too much to get the job done and for the twists to hold up. so yesterday i bought the big container of firm wax for $6.99 (great price!).
when i went home i washed my hair with black soap shampoo. I had to scrub my scalp because locking gel left so much buildup. In fact i had to wash it 4 times just to remove the gunk on my scalp.
When i was done, i towel dried my hair and oiled my scalp. then i twist and pinned my hair with the firm wax and left it to dry in my hair overnight. I noticed that when i was twisting my hair that i got alot more buds in each lock than the last time i washed it. when i washed it, most of them held together. i still have the rubber bands in some of the locks from the last time i washed it. ima keep them in for another few weeks. if buds start to from in them like the others then ima take the rubber bands out. Im having patience with my hair and its paying off big time.
And october 26 was the 3month anniversary of my brand new locks. so by march my locks should be mature. now my locks have a corse feel to them at the ends. thats a good sign because in the beginning my locks had a smooth feeling to them. now i know that they are tangling up within themselves nicely.
But from now on im just use JML firm wax to twist my hair. every other product i have ima keep. Except the gel because thats leaving too much buildup in my hair. Now im beginning to think that i should have stuck to the products that i used to use in my first set rather than switch. But another lesson learned i guess.
And plus my hair has been growing so much in the past three months. its amazing. When i started this set, i dyed my hair bronze so that way when it grows i will be able to see how much. and it looks cool!!!! i will probably dye my roots again so that i can track its growth. but we will just have to wait and see.
But i need some jewels and trinkets to spice up my locks. you know make it look cute. i need to find a website that i can go to to buy some.
But as far as my locks go... So Far So Good :)
