Thanks!! I've looked up all kinds of pictures lately for motivation. I only miss my curls when I watch Blackish lol.

Loc'ing Up!
I made the rosewater/oil mix that Yannie talks about in her videos. I hate that I didn't get the exact Vitamin E oil. Instead, I subbed with olive oil and added peppermint oil for a little jazz.

Very moisturizing and I felt like my locs and scalp looked pretty good. I just have so much oil everywhere that I want to use it before buying more.

I'm trying to decide if I want to big chop prior to my sisterlocks install. I will be going on 11 months post relaxer in April when it's time to get them installed. My consultant said I didn't have to big chop but could gradually trim the ends as the locs grow out. But to me there is something about starting fresh and being 100% natural when I get them, and not having to worry about stringy ends. The back part of my head is completely natural because it was shaved down from a hair cut I got last year. And the top is like 25-50% natural. I just want to know how short the locs are going fall,if I BC.

I'm OCD so I'd cut those ends off. It would look a lot better imo on 100% natural
Hair. Wouldn't it also cost less for the install if you started with shorter hair as well?

I tell folks not to use certain things on my hair. silly to get mad over that. I hate T. wajhid tight hold loc gel. Flakes! I asked her not to use it anymore.

Yea I've heard bad things about that one as well. Hopefully she can do it with just oil if not, I was considering purchasing Dr. Locs locking spray but I will have to research what to bring. What do you use?

Okay, thanks for the info! I'm going to look into getting some wen oils now and hopefully she will be open to using something else.
If you get the wen is oil the sweet almond mint or bamboo green oil great. Otherwise almost any oil will do if it hair agrees with it. I had them long before I got locs because of Qvc gift cards lol. Otherwise I personally wouldn't pay that much but they are amazing.

Lol okay, thanks for the info. I might try them for a bit to see if I like them. I'm hoping to find something that I can bring to her at my next appointment since what she uses doesn't work for me.
