1 year (well a little over)

Boy this year has been busy. This time last year you couldn't keep me off my blog I couldn't wait to write the next up date - my locks was all I could talk about. I couldn't wait for my 1 year anniversary to come and guess it came and went.

Due to unforeseeable circumstances ie the company going into administration, the stress of not knowing what was going on then finally moving jobs my one year anniversary came and went. But I hadn't forgotten I just didn't have the time to write an update.

The progress well it has definitely grown (see pictures below) but I have still have problems with the roots being very soft and loose. I have worked out if I wash it too much (and I mean like three times in a month which to me is nothing) it does become very loose. Conditioners also make it loose and soft. Although I haven't used that much but when I have I have noticed a difference.

Itching - well only if I put too much products in it and I wash it too often. Also must remember to drink more water this really helps. I have worked this out because in the beginning when I didn't wash or condition I had no problems with itching - it was still loose but didn't bother me at all.

So 1 year down the line I am more or less still following the same routine I did in the very early days. Washing probably at the most twice for the month spritzing with water with a few drops of essential oils, lavender or mint, occasionally massaging my scalp with some natures shine oil and that's it low maintenance it is. I try not to twist and curl it too often either.

You would think that after 1 year I should be well on the way to being locked well yes in a way i am but the front seems to be the softest and that is where it is taking longer to lock but it will get there.

On the plus side my hair is bouncy, thick and full. I have such pleasure when I am working out in the gym looking in the mirror and seeing my hair bouncing all over the place beautiful.

One thing though although I dyed my hair about 6 weeks ago and I swear there was no grey hair left well I think I imagined it because them damn grey things are back. No idea how come could it be the sisterlock shampoo? No idea so any clues let me know as I don't want to have to keep dying my hair...
