Four Months





We have been loc'ing for four months now and things are still progressing well. I had intended to take a couple pictures at mid-month to show you what his hair looked like between latchings and to show the amount of new growth. I'll try to remember to do this next month.

I noticed a few more buds this time and the ends of each plait are more or less sealed. Our routine is the same: shampoo without conditioner every two week. Daily moisturizing with the vegan oil. I am so in love with how soft and cushy his hair is; I play in his hair every chance I get; it's a wonder one or more of those plaits haven't fallen off!

I'm the only one of us who is impressed though. His goal is for these plaits to get long enough and heavy enough to shake. Until then, it's just mommy playing around.
