All loced up...
See I keep hearing different things.. wash... don't wash only seabreeze. Im so freakin confused. Its been 2 months and I've washed 3 times.
I washed at the 3-week mark the first wash and then almost every week after that until month 6 when I could go 2 weeks. Had to retwist too. I know that you’re not supposed to but I didn’t feel like I had a choice. I don’t think my hair suffered and I can’t say how quickly my hair loced because this is my first set but I’ve been fully loced since about month 5. I do think that water helps the process. I spray nightly and I’ve always thought that it encouraged locing.

I just inspected my hair and it's doing something but not sure what. It looks like the twists are tightening, making it look curlier. I'm going to try spritzing

Washing my hair today.. I’m almost 6 months loc’ed. Time is moving pretty fast! I won’t be retwisting today. I found some headbands so I can look a little more pulled together when my hair starts doing it’s own thing after washing. For my next retwist, I might get some TW Tight Hold gel.

another loc confession
So I have been using an oil on my scalp and massaging it in 2-3 times a week. I decided to use a non-sulfate shampoo being lazy, thinking I will just clarify on my next wash. Yeah right! Didn’t I say I wasn’t going to use that shampoo anymore? Didn’t I say I wasn’t going to use oil? Lol see just doing stuff to be doing stuff and now I see a little bit of buildup on my scalp in some areas and a couple of locs. Now I gotta go back in and shampoo with some real shampoo!
I don’t do no ACV rinses because if you use a clarifying shampoo to begin with that will prevent the need for dish soap and acv baths.
