Time to Palm Roll: 45 minutes
Time since last Palm Roll: 2 weeks
Product Used to Palm Roll: Taliah Waajid's "Lock It Up" Gel
I am really excited to not only share my Sisterlocks Journey with you, but also to begin sharing TB's Loc Journey! If you checked out TB's Hair Story [HERE] you know that he has had his Locs for over 5 years, and for the past two years I have been maintaining his Locs. TB's hair texture is a really curly 3C pattern, which means he has a lot of curlynugrowth every few weeks!
As you can see, after two weeks, he has about an inch of nugrowth that hasn't loc'd yet.
As of lately, because the weather in the DMV is quite cold, TB has been experiencing a lot of itching and dry scalp. To help remedy the itching, I did a Pre-Poo with Adiva Naturals' ACV Simulating Herbal Rinse.
Then, I follow the Pre-Poo with three shampoos using Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap. I don't use conditioner in his Locs because the Dr. Bronner's is really moisturizing and with his curly texture too much "softening" will counteract the loc'ing process.
To Palm Roll his Locs, I have been using the Taliah Waajid's Lock It Up Gel. I really like the Lock It Up gel because it has excellent hold, it smells great, and its all natural! I don't use a comb or any tools to Palm Roll his Locs because just using my hands gives more natural looking parts. Also, not using any tools reduces the likelihood of thinning Locs and/or breakage.
After Palm Rolling his Locs and letting them dry, I styled his Locs into a Flat Twist Double Barrel style and you can check it out [HERE].
