    What's with the grey sneaking up and through my locs? I see you.
    Notice any benefits? Or I guess I'm mostly curious about the "hard" part. I would love to wait a little longer to reti, but I'm afraid my roots will mat too easily and my reti would take ridiculously longer.... Any insight?

    ^ Actually I'm just trying to see how long I can go between retightenings. There are no actual benefits for me except no loss of time. What's hard for me is I like to play in my hair and feel up my roots. It's been 5 months since I did any real loc maintenance (the longest I've gone is 7). The way my locs grow I'm pretty sure I could totally freeform with no harm but like I said, I love playing in my hair. I don't pop my locs regularly (read hardly ever) and I do wet them daily.

    My hair is thin and my density is low so for me FYI.

    ETA: I've been thinking about it and my roots are either loc'ing slower or my hair is growing faster than usual as currently I have 1 1/2 to 2 inches of unlocked roots whereas last year I only ever had 1/2 to 1 inch of unlocked roots. Because my hair is thin and low density I may have to step up my "maintenance schedule" as my roots do seem to be tangling more than usual. Hmmmm......

    Trying new "products" on my young locks now that I feel that they have mostly locked, squeee!! Recently bought Earthbalisms' lavender lemongrass teapoo, the flower power herb rinse, some pure Jamaican castor oil, and some pure rose water. I will be using all these products for the first time. Im really excited but I also hope all goes well.
    First set of locks: Sept. 14, 1999 - April 22, 2011
    Current set of locks: newly under way

    Thank you Pank fairy for Panking me!!! Blessings to you! XOXOXO

    My bad for not being more diligent during my re-tis, but now I have all of these funky loose hairs near my roots that make it even easier for my locs to love all up on each other and marry. I just need to do Dewdrop's thread method to incorporate the loose hairs back into the loc core, but I shudder at the thought of doing that for over 200 locs......

    I am appreciating my locks now that I live in a colder place. They make great ear warmers.
