Let me keep things real on this dreadlocking journal. I wish I could upload a reel of cute head shots sporting my luscious mane of flowing locs but currently my hair is so dry, knotty and shrunken beyond belief. I did rinse my hair a couple of times since my last post but I've been so distracted lately I keep forgetting to oil it before it dries and we all know what kinky afro hair feels like when you let it air dry without moisturising it quick.
But my hair has thickened up so much in the past three weeks.
I'm still suffering with dry scalp, it doesn't itch much but it is starved of moisture which makes sense as I never keep myself hydrated (must do better).
I'm about to wash, oil and style my hair and continue this post soon...

Update cont. 22 Feb.
My five month old two strand twists are starting to get nice and plump. I have a few pairs of locs that have merged at the roots so I twisted together the ones I liked and popped the others apart. Kind of looking forward to my future two headed dragons (two locs, one base) after seeing all the videos from PeaceandLoveHarmony.

Love your hair color. I also love your locs and the progress you have achieved. I stopped twisting with waxes etc, and started using the latching method which I absolutely love. I can shower without covering my hair, I can roller set it...it's a lot more versatile for me. I also colored my hair into a dark red just like you. Will post pictures for the next entry. I've been focused on food of late! Happy loc journey to you...
