I learned that from Toshia from On the Road to Queendom. And yesss, I'll let you know when that Peter Lamas review goes live. It's a commercial brand but is paraben, SLS and 'cone free. And it's a little steep in price but I may be re-purchasing. <br /><br />rmcandlelight---> Girl, yessss...don't know why it took me so long, but I'm here!<br /><br />nappy headed girl---> My nappy roots kept me from doing a ponytail for a while too! I've been able to do one for work-outs but they weren't nearly as nice as that one. I'll check out those Ouchless bands. Thanks mama! Whatcho tryna say...my rubberbands ain't cute?

My hair has so many different textutes that some hair loc immediately( my dad's course hair) while others take their time.(my mom's curly fine hair). Luckily I had already started with some length when the decision came to loc.<br />Your blog gives me inspiration on what the future holds for me and my hair. Your hair looks great. I like the various lengths and colors. Keep it coming.<br />BTW..I agree that too much oil on the hair follicles can smother hair growth. I only oil once a week if lucky. Otherwise , it waits until my 3 week maintence.SMOOCHES BABYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497369009445925930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863545505587940137.post-34029357656671339492010-08-15T19:56:15.485-04:002010-08-15T19:56:15.485-04:00Love the pony!

I can't do a proper ponytail because of my nappy roots. <br /><br />It's comfortable when freshly washed/stretched, but since I freeform when they dry and nap up the holder gets tight lol<br /><br />BTW, have you tried Goody's Ouchless Head Bands?<br />http://bonitastyle.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blog-032.jpg?w=300&h=225<br /><br />Those things stretch for days, but they're thin enough to be flexible.nappy headed black girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771746121323842589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863545505587940137.post-49961121914688017152010-08-15T19:30:28.158-04:002010-08-15T19:30:28.158-04:00Looking good!!

I think it is funny that you mentioned how we keep on oiling the scalp when we really don't need to, because I've been reading articles lately that say that it isn't really necessary. I oil just once a week after every wash, and haven't really felt the need to oil it until the next wash. I love not having such an oily head dirtying all of my pillows and clothes lol. Def. give us a review on those products you mentioned! I also love that your locs have some variety in their shapes, lengths, and sizes, I think that gives locs more character. Ok, now I'm ranting haha, but seriously B i'm proud of ya!NESSessaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457503537265187149noreply@blogger.com
