The "Love Hawk"
For the "Love Hawk" we c0-washed J's hairWe used the ZENZELE leave in Conditioner and the Shea Shea Hair Souffle for some soft hold.
We used a basic mo-hawk in the front and made the back into a braided heart ponytail ending with multi-color barrettes.
ZENZELE review

pronounced (zen-zay-lay)
Leave In Conditioner
This is my new favorite detangler!! I am loving it. J's hair was very tangled after washing since she had been wearing a ponytail for 2 days and had not had her hair de-tangled. I sprayed the mist of leave in conditioner in her hair and her hair just slid right through the Denman brush. The best part is that is leaves hair feeling clean, no greasiness, not weighed down!! Her hair just felt clean and soft. The smell is awesome, citrus, sweet...very unique!!
Ingredients
Hair souffle is like a nice hair butter that glides through the hair, moisturizing and has a little bit of hold to help hold those curls or styles in place. It's a light hold so it's not going to weigh the hair down too much. J's hair felt soft her curls were well defined and it smelled so nice after using Shea Shea Hair Souffle! Definite Keeper!
Ingredients
My husband, Antonio's hair was recently locked and had been feeling dry and itchy. The other night it was driving him nuts he kept scratching at his locs so I grabbed the bottle of essential oil and applied it lightly to the scalp between his locs and he immediately felt relief. He actually hasn't had any itching since!
I used this oil on my daughter scalp also since it teds to be dry the I finger combed it through her hair. It's a bit of a heavier oil so a little goes a long way. Very nourishing, strengthening oils that add a nice sheen to the hair.
Ingredients
Safflower Oil, Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E

Loc Journey day 1
It took me several days of hour sessions to complete Antonio's hair. I the video I posted in my previous blog showed a different way of parting the hair but I brick layered his locs so that less scalp would show. Now, If I was going to do my daughters hair in locs I would part in half from ear to ear and front to back so she could wear ponytail's and more styles with her locs. it's just a matter of preference.
The Brick layer pattern looks like this:
I then used this method to to lock his hair.
If you click on her video you can see her moms hair that she did with this method. Yes, it looked a little rough at first but soon her mom had lovely locs!!!
I used a latchhook when my fingers could no longer pull the hair through...
BEFORE:
Hubbys hair had some wax build up from his twists so I washed his hair with KNOTTY BOY dread shampoo to remove the wax build up. I did a second wash with a tee tree shampoo to take care of any scalp build up. I did NOT condition his hair.
I put the top of his hair into a poytail and sectioned out my first row using a rat tail comb and used little clips to section off one SMALL box at a time.

I used a latchhook when my fingers could no longer pull the hair through...
This cost $2.00 at my local hair store
YAY! we're done for about 5-6 weeks when I will use the latchhook to re-tighten the roots!!

Antonio's LOCS
My husband has finally decided to loc his hair with a more permanent method of locking. Though he wanted brother locs there is really no one I know of in my area and honestly we don't have the $100-$350 it can cost to start brother locks. I have been watching BigandlittleM on YOUTUBE for awhile and decided to try her method.
We decide on this method because the two strand twists and braids came out of Antonio's hair before they had time to lock. I can't imagine this method coming out....even if we wanted it to so please don't try it at home unless you are 100% sure you want to loc your hair.

Of course I will posting pics ASAP and giving your monthly updates on his progress!
