a couple of hair photos....

...from Ghana.
Ama (SLs practitioner)'s hair and mine after she retightened it. We bartered services - I retightened her locs and she did mine-except, I didn't finish hers. I got to a little more then halfway and she finished the rest herself. But she still came all the way to my sister's house(where I was staying) and did my whole head, Bless her!

My SLs moisture treatment & reconstructor conditioner had arrived at last and were waiting for me when I got back. Amongst the ingredients was mineral oil and my heart sank. (you know how I feel about mineral oil and petroleum products.) My hopes were raised when I saw that it was further down the ingredient list. However, so many people have raved over these products that I decided to try the moisture treatment. I spritzed my hair until it was damp, then took 1/2 tsp size, spread it in my palms and spread it on my locs. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was instantly absorbed and my locs felt softer and moisturised. I have now decided to add a tiny bit to my spritz and will use it every other day. I'm reserving the reconstructor for when I wash my hair, and I will report back then.
