MONTH 5 LOC JOURNEY

My locs turned 5 months old! 

Yep, 5 months of not combing my natural hair. I have no complaints.  I don't give much thought to my hair. I want to keep it that way. 

Low manipulation is key. I do favor putting my hair in a side ponytail. This can't be good if I do this too often. When I'm home I just let my hair be free with no hair bands. 

This month I did purchase a few oils per my previous blog post. 

The BB Jamaican Black Castor Oil is my favorite. I love castor oil.   I also purchased the wild growth oil which  can be found at most local beauty supply stores. Extra virgin olive oil is still on my fave list. I love it because it's light weight. 


I haven't dealt with product build-up. I only use shampoo on my hair. At this point of my journey I feel conditioner would not be wise. I can see myself half washing it out on a lazy wash day. I will continue to  stray away from it at the moment. 

I'm only 5 months into my loc journey and I don't feel that it would be beneficial. If I did I would coat my hair with a light conditioner. I didn't do a retwist this month. I have plans for month 6 so I decided to skip it.  In the picture below you can see that I need a retwist, but  it still looks nice! 

So yep, month 6 I will definitely retwist my hair and of course I will have footage.


(MONTH 5/No retwist)

Later ✌🏾💕

  1. I agree with you on not using the side ponytail. I know of people who wore their hair the same way for years and there is hair loss in the area.

  2. Yes! I believe this is true! I don't want to contribute to any hair loss. Thanks for reading!
