I took them out because I wanted to. lol I started them with wax which made me paranoid and I washed them after 2 days. My parts are very uneven and as my thick newgrowth came in, I know it would be hard to keep my hair twisted. I had imagined semi forming and planned to re-twist after 4-8 weeks. I rinsed and washed them alot. Hair loves water, locked or not. I learned alot in the 3 2 weeks. March 22 2011 would have been one month loc'ed. I had no noticeable budding. I know it takes time.
I had alot of unfinished business with my loose kinks such as: Frozen henna/Kalpie Tone to use, Molasses treatment and products to go through (new and old [ Most can probably be used on locs but recommended for more mature locs]. I like to keep it simple and with loced hair this principle is best. However, I had buildup from the wax and prehaps my artificial black soap bar even after using ACV rinse . I tried lemon juice which turned my scalp white from dryness. Lemon juice is meant to loc hair faster. I used it for a few days and said, 'HELL NAW'. LOL. I use it on my skin as a toner alternating with ACV.
Anyways, I guess the three weeks can be seen as a protective style. [ a friend of mine had her sisterlocs in for 5 months an coincedently took them out a few days before me- very long protective style indeed. She's loving her new lenght.] ;O)].
My hair started to look rough as I knew it would and I managed fine. I originally planned to take them out, wash with newly arrived 'Dr. Bronner Castile Soap in BabyMild' and put them back in, taking time to have even parts. Instead, I decided to keep my fro out and thought of putting them back in next winter when hats are very much a common-do. I may and I may not. Tis my perogative.
Thanks to all for the support. ;O)
I will post an entry on the notes I had on my starter locs (observations) during the almost 3 weeks and some pics of them.
Much Love <3 [Remember, it's hair at the end of the day. I missed my fro' and it's back.
-EbonyLocs are currently out. ;O)
