Hey guys after long adieu, I finally started my locs! As stated I started them via the two strand twist method ( with the help of my sis shaki) and I used the queen helene sparingly just to help the twists stay down. I didn't really need to use gel to start them of because I realised with my hair texture it just doesn't need it! I will probably use the queen helene gel for actual retwists. I'm excited guys. The past couple of days ive been wearing my locs outside and it has just been liberating , because I said id probably cover it up with hats for the first couple of months, but I really havent felt the need to cover them up I've only worn a hat twice and Ive been going out everyday. They are super fuzzy already and its only been 6 days since I started them, I think its because my hair texture is resistant to staying retwisted. I wear of satin bonnet to bed every night. But I dont mind, I dont want them to be forced into something they dont want to do. But I really like the fuzzy look anyway. So hopefully I wont experience the "awkward phase" in this journey because it seems alot of people complain about frizzy and fuzzyness but I dont mind it!
I plan to wash my hair in 6 weeks but I dont know how I'm going to hold up guys, Its really hot here atm and ive been working out, so I dont know if I will be able to wait 6 weeks. I will definitely try and make it to the 4 weeks mark though. I am just fearful of having smelly hair. I got a friend to smell them yesterday and she says my hair smells fine so hopefully i'll be able to make it to ATLEAST 4 weeks. I am so tempted to wash them now but I know my hair and I know they'll unravel and I am just really attached to my hair,and I am fearful of what I've done becoming undone! I know it's only been 6 days guys but I am LOVING my hair, I cant wait for them to start showing signs of locing!
I am really surprised at everyone reactions though guys! Everyone seems to really like them, like I thought my family and friends would be against it but they really like it! xD i've also gotten so many compliments from my friends and people from college. which really makes me happy because even though when I started them I was emotionally, mentally and physically ready for anything negative. Having the people you love like them just makes it so much easier!
I feel like i'm rambling now guys but yeah just wanted to update on here! I love how everything Is going atm, because even though im bringing 12 months of research into the game, I dont really REALLY know what i'm doing xD I guess thats why its called a journey!
