4 Years and Still Going

My 4th year loc anniversary is June 2008. My locs have been doing very well. At this point, I find myself just letting them been most of the time. I am not the overcautious mommy I use to be. I am still using the JML products. However, their ingredients have changed, so I am in the process of monitoring my locs to see the changes, if any. So for, I don't think I am getting the same amount of moisture I was getting with the old ingredients. I have recently made a homemade spritz with carrot/aloe oil, grapeseed oil, vitamin e oil and tea tree oil. I spray this on my locs at night. I will keep tabs on the results. My locs are now just about bra length. I change loc styles as I go. Sometimes, I roll them up, sometimes, I do an updo and other times I just let them be. I am still so very excited that I decided to loc. This is the best thing I could have ever done to my hair, especially coming from a hair weave queen, crochet hair or braid queen status. My natural hair is beautiful and I can do whatever I want with it. I am not afraid of water or rain and I love the wind. I don't miss perming my hair one bit. So to all you locers out there, more hair and blessings.
