Short straight blonde hair... my "locking" journey ;-)

mix sea salt and water the ratio is 3.5% of the water volume max pour on or spray on

Yes I do add sea salt in my bs mix , but I never tried to do just sea salt in between
washes , I'm gonna try that.

Thanks SE

yep that's pretty much all I do while in shower... I usually just do it about 15min, but am going to try for a bit longer.

For my washes I do BS, sea salt, then a very small amt of ACV all mixed with tea tree, lavender, patchouli & orange oils. Love the way those smell!

They are looking so good.. I love how they are progressing

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how they are going too!

holy crap!!! thats some amazing progress in such a short time. i'm so jealous. are you still washing the same way?

Not really washing the same way... since beginning this journey, I've noticed my hair being less and less oily (my super thin hair would be totally oily within a day if I didn't wash) so now I only wash when it feels that it needs it, which now seems to be about 1-2 x a week and I also do the sea salt soaks once or twice a week too. That's about it, still using BS/ACV and oils....pretty much stay away from using Dr. B's unless I am in a hurry then I will only use it on the locs that are pretty well knotted up. The back of my head still looks the same, not much progress back there, so I never use Dr. B's becuz it will make it super soft and sleek, def not what i want lol

Wow, your hair is lookin' wild & crazy! I'm so happy for you!

I can't wait for mine to start really locking up There are knots, definite knots, and I have one really wild lookin immature dread, but my sections still aren't as pronounced as yours are.

Good for you, though!

Thanks Steven! I think using beads for a good stretch has helped alot, but also not washing as often too. Pretty sure the sea salt soaks are doing some good as well

Our 4 month dreadiversary is coming up soon!! :D
