Most of my relaxed ends are gone. I had them clipped and the rest seems to be shedding. I love this process and the fact my hair is growing so much.
My daughter has braidlocks and they are growing like crazy as well. Here is a picture of her locks now. (She will kill me for putting this picture online. So don't pay attention to her expression, just the hair, LOL.)
At this point my locks are feeling ragged in some places but I know that is the locking process. To clean my hair I pretreat my scalp by spraying a mixture of ACV and water on it. Then I shampoo with a mixture of baking soda and cleansing shampoo followed by the sisterlock shampoo (yes I still use it at my loctician's recommendation).
I typically braid my locs in small sections after I shampoo for a cute, wavy look. The waves stay in until I shampoo again in 2-3 weeks. I use my hot rods to curl when my hair goes flat, especially in the back.
My routine is pretty simple, which is what I love.
