8 months loc update

I did a couple of changes during my 8 months locing stage. I used a new gel this time around called Better Locks. It's okay. Nothing about it fascinates me. It gets the job done.  I also use a new shampoo called Bioluxe (yea it's at CVS). I like it.  It makes my hair soft and shiny. I still use Vitamin E oil capsules in my spritze bottle. It's an utter must for me since my hair tends to get dry, so it keeps it moist throughout the whole day. I also darkened my hair with "henna". The lady at the store told me it was henna, but  I'm pretty sure it was indigo because #1 there's no such thing as black henna, #2 the powder itself wasn't black, it was green that turned into a bluest glaze paste when mixed with water. Whatever I used, may have been indigo that is marketed as "black henna" (I hope).  Anywho, I've always wanted to have the bluest black hair color, and this time I like how it came out. My hair looks violent under the sun and super jet black. I like it a lot. I think this might be a regular routine for me once I figure out if the product I used, was PPD free. So yea 8 months woohoo!

I love it!
Oh another thing, I'm going to semi-freeform at some point whatever that really means. I'm twisting my hair less often.

After my 3 months stage, I started twisting every 3-4 weeks. Now I'm going to twist every 6-8 weeks. At some point, I don't want to retwist at all. When I first started locing, a friend of mine said that and I was kind of disturbed. I couldn't imagine not re-twisting my hair AT ALL. Now, I completely understand what she means. Twisting is a freakin hassle, I don't like interrupting my sistas (yes my locs are my sistas), and I don't like my scalp showing. I prefer the "messy" thick look. Besides, I don't want my hair thinning out anytime soon. The more you twist, the weaker your hair gets.
Freeform fits my personality much better...
Ok that's it for the Hair Talk
Tata!
