Hello Highlights

 In celebration of my 6 month Loc Extensions Anniversary....I had highlights added to the tips of my Loc Extensions.  My main Loc color is a 4/30 (afro kinky human hair). It's a nice color of a warm medium light brown.  A color that works for me. Not too light and not too dark.

The highlighted color on the tips of my Loc Extensions is 30. Adding the color produced a subtle depth and dimension.  Also....adding the color to the tips extended my Locs and helped to lenghten the Locs that were shorter than others and gave me a slightly fuller look.   Highlights were NOT added to all my Locs...but were added to most of them. 

I'm quite PLEASED with the results!  I got a bit of added length and color in one sitting.

INTERLOCKING

I'm having loc maintenance done at this 6 month mark to ensure I'm on the right path for the next 6 months. I'm in it for the long haul. I am at the point of searching for ease and convenience as I continue on my journey. I no longer want to palm roll the new growth soooo.....my next trip to my Locitian will be to interlock the new growth.  This will eliminate palm rolling and product buildup.  I can't wait!

My 6 MONTH JOURNEY UPDATE

Week Old Pipe Cleaner Cutls

Thought I'd "release" a photo of Me and My Loc Extensions @ 6 MONTHS!!!!  Yes Six Months...did I say 6 Months?????

This is ME and My Locs!!  Many have asked to see my Locs down so I decided to post these photos in HONOR of this Milestone...

THESE loc styles are a result of pipe cleaner curls from a week ago.  I made 2 pigtails and put the pipe cleaners on the ends....2 locs per pipe cleaner....no setting lotion ...just sprayed with water. Air dryed overnite.



Same Curls - Different Style

My hair has grown and my natural hair has loc "buds" at the place where my hair and the human hair loc extensions meet. There is abt 3 inches of new growth, I just palm roll as usual (and I AM doing it myself) with a twist gel.

I still find it AMAZING how versatile and FUN my Locs are.  DIFFERENT Looks on DIFFERENT Days. 

I normally wear my Locs in an Updo @ work and will wear it all week long...That way I control it AND it doesn't control me. It's suppose to be EASY and I like it like that. 

This Updo is just week old pipe cleaner curls rolled over like a French Roll in the back.

Same Curls in An Updo

The single Loc by my ear is my hair where one Loc Extension has slipped off. As you can see...my hair remained intact. My hair was nice and soft, not dry like you might have thought.  I thought against having another loc extension put back on it. Since I have a couple of these, I wanna watch them do their own thing....I have been palm rolling them like the rest of my hair.  It's loced halfway from where the loc extension started. The hair below the loced part is just Happy and Nappy.

Remember...hair locs from the TIP to the ROOT.



Loc PonyTail



If I'm not wearing curls...I lightly spray my hair with a natural oil and water mixture.  It moisturizes my hair underneath the Loc Extension and makes it easy to style for an Updo or a no curls or straight PonyTail.

Thanks for stopping by....this is my 6 Month Loc Journey Update....

Peace...Jay
