Alise's Sisterlocks

Well friends. I know it's been a minute since I've posted but I just wanted to make sure you could see some significant changes in length since the last post. My actual 4 year anniversary is Dec 28th but I've got time now to work on this post so here are some updated photos.

I'm still not doing much with my locs. I go for a retightening every 8-10 weeks to a wonderful loctitian named Mimi at Braids, Locks, and More in Spanaway, Washington. Mimi is the bomb! I do not retighten my locks myself, but that is by choice. I'm sure I could...I just don't want to. I wash it whenever I want but typically once a week. I sometimes use extra light virgin olive oil for moisturing as well as Pantene Pro-V Relaxed & Natural for Women of Color which is a daily oil cream moisturizer that I mix with hot water in a bottle to spray on after I wash it and curl it on the soft spikes. I usually curl at night, sit for about an hour with my bonnet hair dryer, wake up in the morning and take out the soft spikes, finger comb and go.

Hoping everyone had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you peace and prosperity in 2010.
