I am officially giving up wrestling with these elastics. Since I have started my locs I have gone through 1 and a half of packs of 300 piece elastic bands...on 66 locs! :/ Okay fine I will confess when I was using the elastics to secure the ends; I used 2 for each loc. But it is still annoying. I kid you not, no more than five minutes can past without my head feeling like there is a lizard wriggling on it(the elastic bands unwinding themselves from around my hair) or even more than one.lol.
The first time it had happened was while I was still installing the locs and I literally got up all frantic spinning around and trying to brush the lizard out of my head. Of course only until I realized that It was just elastics O_O . Needless to say, I was really embarrassed at myself. But just glad that no one actually saw it happen and I have full a knowledge of what the feeling is now so I will not be repeating that hilarious action again!
Okay, back to my baby locs. I had replaced elastics today. In fact almost all of them. So what I am going to do from now on is just allow them to pop until they are all out. I will be very observant on my next wash date to see how the young ones react to the water. If they seem to be unraveling then I will pick back up on the elastic replacing task(sigh). On the other hand, if it is a case where they hold up, I will simply rejoice and go through the motions in peace :)
The curlies are all gone now, because I had finished plaiting them out to the ends. I am sure they might return for a short stint in the future until the locs mature or go into the teenage stage. But for now my hair just looks like short fuzzy locs with plaits and elastics at the ends.
Okay guys I think that is it for today. Looking forward to updating you tomorrow! As long as there is something new. Thanks for following my hair journey thus far and I really do appreciate it. Have a good night!!
