Even more love with my new 1 month sisterlocks~

Hello everyone!!!
I am really enjoying my sisterlocks more now than ever before!!!  During this first month of having them, we have been out many places together.  I went to NC, water parks, a baseball game and all the summer fun that goes along with this time of year.  Taking care of my sisterlocks has included products that I have stumbled upon, reffered to, and studied for myself, especially since I am allergic to the starter shampoo & other sl's products :(  One of the products are an awapuhi hair mist by Paul Mitchell.  You will really like this product.  And guess what it has a natural, lightweight oil in it too.  But I'll tell you more about that later.  First of all awapuhi is a plant in the ginger family.  It originated in India and was distributed eastward through Polynesia and later introduced to the Hawaiian Islands.  Awapuhi is commonly referred to as the shampoo ginger. The clear slimy juice present in the mature flower head is excellent for softening and bringing shininess to the hair. It can be left in the hair or rinsed out. Hawaiian women often pick or cut the flowerheads of this plant in the forest, as they approach a pool or waterfall for a refreshing summer bath, leave the flowers atop a nearby rock, and then squeeze the sweet juices into their hair and over their bodies when the swim is completed. The sudsy juice is excellent for massage also.  So when I ran into this awapuhi hair mist by Paul Mitchell I really enjoyed it, but I did not know exactly what it was or what was really in it.  My consultant referred it to me, and uses it in her own sisterlocks.  I just love the way it hydrates, refreshes and gives the hair luster.  It's a natural conditioner that won't aid in swelling your sisterlocks.  The use of heavy oils, waxes and conditioners can really cause our locks to swell.  Not to mention, natural swelling that we can't escape between washings and humidity.  This product also contains the natural oil, jojoba.  I was hesitant at first because I want to be careful when using various types of oils.  First  of all I learned that the molecular weight of Jojoba oil is lighter than mostly alI natural oils except coconut.  So it does not cause buildup in the hair.  And adding to the fact it will not buildup, it removes buildup. It has antibacterial benefits that deeply cleanses away dirt, grime, bacteria,& buildup without ever stripping the hair.  It hydrates from the inside of the hair shaft outward while repairing split ends.   Although we don't worry too much about our ends, we do want them closed & locked. Jojoba oil allows the flow of sebum in plugged-up pores. This promotes a healthy scalp and hair by replicating the sebum oil secreted by human sebaceous glands. So it promotes the production of our natural oils! I promise you this product is one you will love.  The dirctions say to spray on hair & skin.  I am telling you it really makes a difference.   Tell me if you like it...
Now as far as my SL's I am so excited.  I have 459 or so sisterlocks.  Not 467 or even 599 but 459, with a 3 pattern.    It took me forever to count them too.  Here's some pics of me at two weeks of loving these sl's. I will post an updated pic from today later on.  Much love for everyone! Stay & be encouraged to Lock On!

I love Paul Mitchell products. They have this foaming pomade that I used to wrap my hair with when it was relaxed. Oh how I loved it! This Awapuhi does sound great for our hair too. I may have to try this. I am glad you are loving your locks. They look great! Enjoy this awesome ride!

Thank you so much Natural High and Ms. L. I know you feel my pain Natural High considering you had to restart as well. Girllll!!! Right now I have to hold off on the Paul Mitchell Spray until my new babies mature. So I look forward to it. Ms. L... I am so glad I like them too. I pretty much knew I would. I saw her work and besides if I could like them before, then this was an easy transition for me to really enjoy.
