Update on my boys

Tolu is almost 5 months and I just can't seem to get enough of him. He can now roll over on his own so we have to be careful when we lay him on the bed. Femi is 8 and is a doting older brother. He loves to kiss Tolu all over his face and tell him silly stories.  

The Cure for Dry locks

My hair feels so much better, since I washed and conditioned it. I think my locks were starving for deep moisture. I washed my hair with Jamaican Mango & Lime Tingle Shampoo (It really tingles) and left the condition on for 5 minutes in a hot steamy shower. This is the first time I have used conditioner on my Sl's for that length of time. I feared the conditioner would make my hair too soft and cause slippage. I didn't have any problem this time. My hair was very happy after the treatment. I think I am going to wash and condition every 2 weeks to keep my locks healthy. 

Dry Hair Blues

The last time I had my locks maintained I decided to lighten the color of my hair. Nohing major, I just went a few shade lighter for a summer-y look. Well its been about 6 weeks since the color and my hair has been incredibly dry and blah! My scalp has also been quite itchy. I must confess that I don't wash my hair that often. I can usually go 3 -4 weeks without shampooing (Gasp!!) I know that sounds real bad, but my hair tends to thrive without too much washing. I spritz with my ACV and Tea Tree oil concoction and I'm good to go.
Any how, since I got this color job, I have to re-think my routine before I lose my hair. 

Meet my Friend Shauntell

Shauntell has thick gorgeous hair that she has been wearing natural for about 5 years. She used to wear them in 2 strand twists and I encouraged her to try locking her hair. As far as I am concerned locking seems to be a fairly logical progression from 2 strand twists. She decided to go with the traditional locks and she looks great. Because of her hair texture her hair was fully locked in less than a year.
