Wet Length Check-in: Two Years and 5.5 months

Every loc I own and groom based on its own identity. Self tightening is on-going, but I know that my locs will support each other without worry.  I am not focused on well manicured locs.

I am not focused on consistent form.  Our natural hair does not have a consistent surface if we examine a strand of hair.  I say all of this to say that when it comes to loc maintanence, each to his own.  I am going to do me, and let others do them.  I am now two years and five and half months Sisterlocked.  I have been maintaining my locs for most of the time that I have had locs, and I could not be happier.  Hand interlocking works for me.

People love to see the locs gaining length, and so do I!  These wet check-in's are great!!!!

I am looking forward to my five year anniversary.  It will be twice this length. The shrinkage when it is dry will not make a difference anymore. The shrinkage does not bother me, but most people love seeing the length.

My back length is shoulder length or a little below. Black collars and Black turtlenecks are my best friends because they give the illusion of a solid bob.

I used the Colorproof Volume shampoo to deep clean because it felt soiled.  It cleansed fine.  I tell everyone about my wet set final styling in a future article soon.

Two Years 5 Months Sisterlocks Check-in

 Happy Holidays!  I am late checking in for this particular Loc-versary, but it is all good.  So it is now, 29 months since I got my Sisterlocks, and I am so amazed at how many people that I have inspired to loc their own hair.  These people did not come to me for me to start their locs because of distance or for whatever reason, but I am amazed at the fact that they are starting their loc journey.  I am ahead of them in length, but only by a year or two.

I am also still enjoying my wet set with the Design Essentials Curlforming Custard.  Rainy days and hydration sprays seem to reactivate the Curlforming Custard.  My hair seems to stay hydrated and curly.  I am do not anticipate seeing any build-up.  I am definitely willing to continue using curl defining products as a setting agent for locs.  I have received the most compliments, and I am not doing any more work than before.  So I contribute this extra volume and fullness to my new preferred wet set agent: Design Essentials Natural Honey product.

As far as online video tutorials, I will continue to use the quadrant of my head that has my smallest locs to perform loc styling techniques.
