I really like this color but I don't know if it is good for locks. It is my plan to go to a professional colorist to have my color done. But I am just courious if anyone has used this before. I am very happy with my locks but I want some color really bad. I am really scared of damaging my locks of all the imput I can get would be helpful.

my hair is stuck in a rut

Hey everyone, my hair is stuck in a rut. To long to curl but too short to just let hang. my curls don't last long without some sort of setting mist. I really want some color to spruce it up but I'm 19 months locked and afraid of messing up my hair. I have not used any other shampoo other than SL starter. I am ready for a change. I am feeling it looks really blah. I'm sure you really agree by looking at my pics.

Hello everyone,

I am so glad to have locs for 18 months and loving them. I am glad to be not just grown but mature. There is truly a difference something I wish I could relate to young woman especially my daughters. I'm saying that they are mature but they still have some time to grow. I just want to be able to help them in areas that I can.

I need some color to my locs and I am realy trying to wait because I don't want to mess up my locs but come spring I going RED.

I am loving my locs they so beautiful and easy. I can't wait for color. I went to see Paulett and Lock4Life.com and she said my locks were settled and I could, but I am going to wait a little longer until spring.

Family

I am truly grateful to have a wonderful husband that truly loves me and is supportive in most of my decisions. When I first got my locks he just looked and asked " It took 2 days to get that"? I showed him some pics of what they were going to look like and gave a reluctantly OK. Of course 16 months later he is in love with the locks!

I have 2 wonderful daughters 31 and 28 and 1 of the most handsome teenage son in the world, he's 15. Of course this is their mother writing. The most hardest thing for me is to be a mother of adult children. My daughters came at a very young age when I should not have been having children. Like all people we carry head problems from our parents and pass them on to our children. I pray to help my children get through with Jehovahs help.

Products

I have been locked for 16 months and I have not had a problem with itching or dryness. For the 1st 14 months I did not put anythin on my hair but water. I still braid and band and wash with starter shampoo only because it is not a problem for me. But recently I found this light oil that I put on my hair for shine. It smells wonderful and you only use a little. I put about a dime size about every other day. I took this pic with the price still on it. It cost $7.99 in Michigan and I picked it up at Walgreens.

I use Lottabody 1 part solution & 3 parts water in a mist

spray bottle. I roll my hair on sponge or perm rods.

This style was achieved with perm rods.

In The Life

I did not post any pic during my 1st months locked b/c I must admit I did not like what I saw. Surprisingly I never wore a wig or covered my head. I just dealt w/ it. This pic is the latest pic and my locks are 16 months. I get so many compliments and women just walking up to me asking me about my hair that it was worth the plucked chicken head style. I am really looking foward to coloring my locks and having cut into a bob cut.
