(Sister) Locked for Life ... lock journey of a thin/fine haired sister.

Journey time - 997 days! (wow!) or 2 years 8 months and 22 days.

From hair ...

To HAIR

I LOVE ALL LOCK types, it just so happened that Sisterlocks was the first option presented to me. No turning back ... this post is for all those who are worried about their thin/ fine hair and the locking process or concerned with (lock) breakage. Handle ALL locks with care and they will thrive.  I am not very adventerous and I dont put my locks up too often as I get tension headaches. Simple is good for me, although I have braided out quite a lot recently, when I can be bothered.

Loving it

HELLO!

Yes, clarifying has been a major part of my hair care plan every OTHER wash, I mix a teaspoon of Bicarb to my shampoo (currently I Love Juicy) mix and cleanse. ILJ is kinda moisturising (surprised) I have found and love Creme of Nature, unfortuately, I prefer the type WITH sls ... sorry! Althought the Argan Oil variety is Sls free its good too ... just not as good ... JMHO ... :)
So, first clarify, then moisture shampoo ... currently kinda avoiding conditioner but using LOTS of oil, Manoi Oil to be precise by Body Shop. I like it, non comedogenic, not a single spot!

Some shampoos can leave even S'locks looking lank, and limp. lacking body and volume.  The shampoos (yes plural)  I love acheive the effect I want,  see pic above, 'after clarifying with ...' pic.
