Month 9 Loc Update

Month 9



Yessss to Iphone portrait mode πŸ’•  

     


Well this month my hair thickened up. My two strand twist began to look like locs. I added loc jewelry to a few locs. I kept the jewelry simple. I purchased the jewelry from my local beauty supply store. They compliment my locs very well. The summer heat was no joke. I spritz my locs with water daily.

As for my retwist; I only use extra virgin olive oil and water. I don’t use any product on my edges. This month I washed my hair only 3 times. That’s a record because I wash my hair often even if its just a quick rinse.  My retwist last as long as I keep my hair covered with a bonnet or scarf. 


Have you checked out my 9 month loc update video? If not here you go!

Pigtails and Locs

My daughter loves the versatility she has with her locs! She never liked the plastic barrettes and bows, but I’m the mom lol! All little girls need to wear a few bows and barrettes to get the certified little girl stamp. 

Since she started her loc journey she’s thrilled that I no longer braid her hair every 2/3/4 weeks "basically" when the style starts to look a mess . She still loves her pigtails. 



She love the fact that she can still wear loose natural hair styles

Loc Bun

We finally tried a loc bun. It was a success! 

My daughter loved her bun. 


SN:  I think she looks like me in this photo πŸ“Έ☺️

Ok, back to the loc bun! 

(BEFORE)


Her hair was freshly washed and this was a  last minute attempt.  The next time we will do the bun on dry hair and just spritz it with water. We try our best to not go to sleep with wet locs. It’s a big NO NO! 

(AFTER )



We used a headscarf at night to lay her edges down. I only use EXTRA VIRGIN OIL. I learned that this is the only oil that works for both of our hair. It’s light, but  it does a great job. We don’t use any edge control. I am the only one who styles her hair. When she’s with her Dad I try to help her remember the things we do when she’s with me. It’s hard, but I tell her spritz her locs with water, put a headband on and wear it down. 

I won’t be doing a loc bun often because she’s at the beginning stage and we don’t need tension on her edges. 

She loved her bun and she was amazed that her roots looked like loose natural hair.
