Far too long ...
Hi to all my locking lovelies out there, yes it has been far too long and I simply had to respond to a CALL OUT I received from the lovely Cheleski. (absolutely laughing out loud!)
I don't think my absence has anything to do with the dwindling bloggers and sister lock communicators out there, but simply needing to adapt to the ever changing circumstances in every day life ...
I have missed you all, missed the little community we once had here and even though I have not put finger to keyboard, every change I experienced is noted mentally for the day that I do.
So where to start ... I have experienced a bit of breakage which has not been to my liking. I have discovered weak areas in my locks that eventually lead to the locks becoming thin and breaking off. I had a few very short ones a few months back. I do not have very thick locks as it is.
My regime is still very simple, I do not use conditioner, but occasionally might use a moisturising shampoo.
My latest find is the Shea Moisture range which is more readily available here in the UK. Thanks to the internet we can now get almost any product, for a price, however if we wait a little and demand increases, eventually the products come in and become more reasonably priced.
My daily staple style is a top knot or messy bun at the back using a scrunchie.
Occasionally I would braid after washing my locks but began to wonder if this was the reason my locks developed weak areas and broke off.
I should add that I very rarely saw any of the locks falling or break off, so assume it may have happened during the ReTi process. I also hardly ever ReTi my self as I really don't have time.
