Hey ladies....Happy Saturday! I got up early this morning and mixed up some more rosewater spray. I was running low. This time I adjusted the ingredients a little, so I'll see how I like it on my hair and DS 2's hair and compare notes.
I've been observing his hair this past week and it is coming along nicely. He has lots of frizz and puffiness at the top and in the front, and I have seen a couple more buds pop up. The other day I was looking at the calendar to figure out what I want his retightening schedule to be, and I'm still not sure. I retightened 3 weeks in at first, but that was only to secure them and I was late doing it at 2 weeks as I originally planned. I may let his hair go a while longer and retighten at 6 weeks, since I've decided to push mine out to 8 weeks now.
I have also determined that I am going to start DS 1's locks shortly after they get out for Christmas break. I have put it on the calendar as December 23-28 because I know I will probably end up having to do one section at a time.
I already visualized how I'm going to section his hair, but I'm not planning on doing his parts too small because I don't want him to end up with too many locks for me to maintain.
Due to his special needs and sensory issues, I am thinking free form or semi-free form will be best. I am starting his locks with DXLYN's son Zion's locks in mind, as far as parting and size.
If I am able to start and finish his hair on schedule, then we will have all started lock journeys in 2018. I was just thinking about that the other day, too.
