Summer Time

Friday evening ...

The day, lovely, strong sunshiny day, some cloud (thank God, It was HOT on the field without breeze or shade.

It has been a lovely evening,  I love to see the sun shining warmly as it sets in the western side of the house, it makes the room look simply beautiful! I would have said a lovely day, but I teach, and this afternoon I ...

1. Coached a game of football rounders yr4 against yr6 an obvious result but yr 4 are extremely competetive and VERY sore losers! (the match was their idea!)

2. Vocal train 2 (yes TWO) year six classes (60 in total), in preparation for the school production. Would you like to know the list of songs I have to instruct the little cherubs in? Queen, Radio Ga Ga, Blondie, Call Me and David Bowie ... need I say more??????????????

Needless to say, I am home, THOROUGHLY Black Soaped, Ocean Salt and Grass scrubbed, showered! I just love to wash the remnants of the day away the minute I enter home!

No, I did not wash my hair again ( I did on Tuesday) because ...........

Its Liz's turn!

Yep I got a date with my Consultant .... YAAAYYY! pamper MEE! ha ha! The plus side is that she tightens them really well, the downside is ...  I tell you what,  try to GUESS what will the down side be? answers please below!

8 a.m start!

Ok, a quick catch up on products, my perspective has changed, I really LOVE my Inecto Moisturising Shampoo. It appears to be a simple formula, and is almost clear, (slightly opaque) I think the ingredients are probably really ummm bad? but it simply works well! what can I say?

I used Healing Oil just twice this week, and spritz slightly with Rosewater and Glycerin (that stuff is so good It is definately a KEEPER!!! needless to say ... I emptied the pharmacy and bought all the bottles they had left they come in only 250ml size. SNM!

Peace at last, I have found my staple products, Inecto Shamp and Condish, with Rosewater  and Glycerin with Healing Oil. Tomorrow I will let you know Liz's verdict on my DIY skills and the condition and strength of my Sister locs :) xx

Bless You ... Nai ...x

Winning the moisture war ...

Hey Locs family,

Well ... almost at the end of another school year (for me).

I have finally completed my 30 reports and assessments are almost complete,  I have a little more time on my hands.

Today I want to update on my latest efforts

Braid / Twist outs.

I do love the shape and bounce I have when I braid out .

HOWEVER, 

Just like the previous time, I notice that my locks seem thinner when I stop. Let me explain, ...

My locks still appear to shrink slightly.  When I braid them (and not tightly) then let them loose, my locs are longer but thin, stringy looking, almost as though they are weakened by the process. I have to think about the fact that my hair is loc'd but not yet fully matured. Due to my previous experiences, it may be best if I give them a little more time, and less manipulation.

Moisture ... at last?

Our weather at the moment is ... erm ... CRAP.

It is not cold, in fact its kinda humid. The sun is THERE but we are not permitted to experience it in all its glory!!!
So, that means my hair has not had a chance to dry out like it did a few weeks ago. In the meanwhile,
I have made an interesting discovery, my cheaper lesser known products seem to work VERY well.

I loc washed on Tuesday evening with Inecto Coconut Shampoo and then Moisture Conditioner. I did not manipulate my hair a great deal, just used the shower head to massage my scalp a lot.
Well, two of my thinnest Sisterlocks unravelled completely. The rest survived, but that stuff did what it said on the bottle! It was a nice experience! I then used the leave in conditioner and that was cool. My hair felt good the next morning.

I have made another interesting discovery ... Rosewater and Glycerin!!!!!
Who woulda thunk it??  I could not stand the scent of  this when I was a babe.
I have used it for the last few days and it works ...

Perfectly!

Plus it only cost £2.49 a bottle!
Soo ...  my £1.99 bottles of Inecto products and now my £3.00 moisturiser! Errrrm a total of  ...£6.49/ £7.00 ( approx $12 to $14)  hmmmmm tI have spent that easily on ONE bottle of shampoo / condish / spritz ...
Hmmm ... oh dear! :)))

Anyway nothing is wasted, I have 3 boys in the house and believe me, they love to work their way through my stuff, so it won't last! :)))

Please stop bye and say Hi!!!!! :)

Bless ...x Nai x
