Thank you for starting this thread, Alma! As a newbie, I too am appreciating the wisdom of the loc elders.
Hello, 2021. Glad to see you. Hope you're bringing us goodness and light this year!

I found my Essential Oils (EOs) at JoAnn Etc and at Michaels. Look in the section where you find the products to make soap and lotions. A 1 or 2 ounce bottle of this stuff can go a very long way.

I'd also add:
- Avoid any product that's completely solid at room temp (beeswax, shea, etc.)
- Herbal and ACV rinses work wonders!
- Realize that you only have so much control over the process--regardless of how you start your locs, or how often you retwist, latch, etc., frizz, fuzz and rebellion are all part of it.
- Water is your hair's best friend!
Just one to add:
Your locs are going to be uniquely beautiful. Don't expect them to look like anyone else's no matter how you start or care for them.

DITTO! EVERYONE. I GUESS THAT THERE IS NO WRONG ANSWER HERE.
THE LESS THE BETTER FOR ME. I FEEL THAT MY LOCZ ARE PROGRESSING NICELY AT 2 MONTHS. I AM LUVING EVERY MINUTE OF MY JOURNEY. I ONLY USE WATER AND LIGHT OIL FOR SPRITZING IN THE MORNING; THAT ALL. MAYBE TWICE A MONTH I'LL DO A BRAID OUT USING MY WATER AND LITE OIL PLUS SHEA BUTTER, ALL ORGANIC PRODUCTS. THAT IS IT, MY WHOLE PRODUCT LINE. CHECK ME OUT AT www.microbraidlocz.com

*sigh*
If only I knew this tip in my early stages ~ It was only when I realised this much later that I began to enjoy my locs and the journey.

~If at any stage you are uncomfortable with what your loctician is doing to your locs, don't be afraid to be very clear and let them know or change loctician.
Go with your instincts! They are your locs and you know whats best for them, so don't let others tell you otherwise. Your loctician should work with you, not against you.

This is very helpful info. Thanks Alma for getting this discussion started. I realized at four months that water is really my best friend, now I just have to work on the oils to mix in . Hopefully I can find something I like.
We can't always choose the thoughts that come to our minds, but we can decide to let them stay and fester or we can push them aside. We have a choice about that.
