Oh my fuzzy hair!

I lurk and will continue to lurk other ladies who have Loc journeys on the Internet.

I love Fotki, I have learned many things about the Lock process, such as you will have fuzzy hair and ugly hair days.

It is up to you on how you handle such days, I told a few who thought they were ready to lock to be sure, because they clearly do not have the patience for the journey.

How you handle these things will determine how committed you are to the process.

I have had doubts about the size I have, the number of locs, will they get thicker, will my hair loc fast or slowly.

Digital Camera Broken!

I was planning to add pictures today, but my camera has finally died. So I will do my best to describe the twists as they are today October 8th. My babies have been in the shower twice this week and spritzed every time I want to arranged them differently.

The babies are thicker than last week, I have had some unraveling. I generally have been very pleased so far. My scalp is just a little itchier, a couple of flakes. Just doing all I can to keep from causing a problem. I think that I may need to keep more moisture on my scalp.

I mixed together a carrier oil (2 tablespoons) & lavender (8 to 10 drops) in one bottle.

Benefits of Lavender;

• Aids in relaxation.
• Used as an antiseptic & anti fungal.
• Massage

Also, rosemary (8 drops) & carrier oil (2 Tbs) in a second bottle.

• Soothe and condition dry flaky scalps.
• Dandruff relief.
• Stimulate the hair follicle and hair growth

I used one oz. dark bottles with eye droppers. I have used both mixtures for a long time with no problems.

I will find some pictures of me before the "Natural Hair Journey" and post those over the week-end.
