Loc Petal Glory

Unbelieveable!!!  I was so surprised by the response to my loc petal fro.  So many people complimented me, family, co-workers, clients, and strangers.  I think I'm in love.  After wearing them for 10 days, I needed some attention to my scalp so I used coconut, peppermint, and rosemary on my scalp.  I decided to re-adjust the loc petals so I took each one down and reduced the number of locs to 3 or 4.  This gave me a fuller look.  When I took down the petals to shampoo, I realized how much hair falling in my face bothers me.  I liked having my locs up and out of the way and having a style that framed my face nicely.  I'm in need of a retightening now which I plan to do today and tomorrow.  I'd like to put the loc petal back in this weekend but I want to be careful not to put too much tension on my locs so soon after the re-ti :(  Right now all I want is my petals back.

Styling: The Latest Look

I decided to try something new. I saw this on YouTube.  This past Sunday, I figured I would give it a try.  It took about 40 mins.  I used several locs but I think I'll try only five locs per petal next time.  I'm on my sixth day of rocking this look and it is still holding up.
