Well, it's been 4 months since I locked my hair and it is growing like crazy. I never realized how fast my hair really grows until I locked my hair. It seems that I'm always retightening my hair and I must do them every 3-4 weeks or else. Any how, I gained inches of hair and lost 5 pounds. Really happy about that! Still loving my braidlocks. Oh, and I HAD to use conditioner and oil. My hair was so dang dry, that it started to crunch and crumble in my hands. It was awful. I had little broken pieces of hair covering my hands and sink. After shampooing with my usual products, I used my homemade conditioning mist (which is as light as water) and oiled my hair with olive oil. No more dry crunchy hair. All that "no conditioner or oil until your hair matures" mess is not for me.

| Back Shot. I'm still in the process of retightening my hair. I have locs starting to travel down my neck. |

| The hair has completely covered my ear this month. Compare this to last month. |
