Loc Log #20: Can't believe it's been 17 months!

I know that I could have waited one more month for that year and a half mark, but because it's been so long since I've posted, I decided to do it now.  In this my 17th month, I could not be more happy with my locs!  I just retwisted my hair today, and I can't stay out of the mirror!  Now some will shudder in horror when I say this, but just a little bit of Carol's Daughter's loc butter and Nubian Kinks locing pomade is just what my hair needed. So far, this is my best retwist/palmroll ever!  I just hope I feel like this in 5 days.  I'm just so excited about my hair.  Here are just a few pics within my 17th month.

Loc Log #14 - Nubian Kinks and other stuff

I am quickly approaching my 9th month with locs. I think this is my longest time with anything, (other than my husband...LOL!). Ok, so I promised that I would review the Nubian Kinks locing pomade. The first thing I noticed about the pomade was the obvious color and fragrance. It's kind of hard to describe the fragrance, but it's a sweet, perfumey kind of scent. It's quite pleasant. It has a tan color and has a creamy texture.

I initially used the pomade without adding any extras as I tend to do......you know another gel or honey. My hair was really pretty with minimal frizz (though I've embraced the frizz), BUT it didn't last very long. I loved the fragrance and the frizz minimizing factor, so I decided to try it again. This time I added my handy dandy TW loc it up gel and a bit of honey. PERFECTION!!! I love how this stuff leaves my hair smelling so good.

I also ordered the Herbal Mint Medley Shampoo. Loves it! I actually think this is my favorite shampoo to date since I've started locs. I accidentally received the mint scented oil rather than the green tea oil that I ordered. Loves it! Good mistakes are great!

Loc Log #13 - 7 months

Today is my 7th month with locs! yay! Not a lot has changed except that most if not all of my hair is locked!!!!!!!! Not mature, but locked. I still have quite a few curly ends, but many of them are sealed at the ends. I continue to have a tough time with frizziness, but I'm embracing it. My last concoction included TW's loc it up gel, ORS loc and twist gel, and honey. While this proved successful, it has also created a bit of an issue. Flakes and buildup. Dang! Well, the product junkie in me lives on and I move on to try something new. Yesterday, I received my order of Nubian Kinks' locing pomade. Can I tell you that that stuff smells like Heaven?! I can't wait to use it. The order I received yesterday was accidentally ordered (by me) from Amazon while waiting on my actually order directly from the salon in New York. Hopefully, my direct order will be here today......Green Tea Oil, Mint Medley Shampoo, and more locing pomade. I can't wait for it to get it here. More Christmas gifts! jk! I'll come back later with the results of these products.
