Woop, can’t believe it’s been 2 years already since I decided to loc my hair!
This is how my locs look like 2 years on…
Excuse the untidy eyebrows…lol
I am still very happy with my locs…actually I love them! I’ve also come a long way with them; if you want to see where I started of, click here. I must say I am no longer as impatient as I was a year ago about length. I think for me now the aim is to have healthy locs and I believe the length will follow if you take good care of them.
My regimen is pretty much the same and I try not to spend too much time on them…My regimen is as follows
- I shampoo and condition once every 2 weeks. I use Tresemme shampoo and conditioner.
- I moisturise my locs with natural oils like coconut oil and I love Nubian Nature’s hair elixir. I’ve also recently started retwisting my locs with the oils. I hate beeswax for my locs. It sticks to my locs and its difficult to get out.
- I retwist my locs after every wash, so that would be every 2 weeks. As you’ve noticed my roots still have a bit of growth and I dont mind it; I actually prefer it that way. 2 years into my journey I still also prefer thick locs.
- I do an apple cider vinegar rinse once a month. This really helps in removing any product build up on my locs.
And that’s pretty much it…
Here is to another year with locs!:-D
