lol my bad, gel, I wanted her to use butter tho...ill probably go back to her again, because her shop is never jumpin to the point I gotta wait until after my appointment time

I was halfway sleep while she was doing it, next time I'll pay attention to name of the products used

I like the smell of the shea better than the gel

Both of those can leave a heavy buildup. Be careful with those.

What city are you in?

It's more water and oil based making it easier to wash out. That black gel has alcohol that will dry you out and shea butter is way too thick and gets stuck in your sponge like locs, leaving them extra hard like a Brillo pad.

If I'm not mistaken

For my freeform cats, dont waste your time doing the towel rub during the first 5 months of hair growth. Wait till you get atleast 6 months of growth(without combing it) then do the towel rub for about a week and your hair should loc up quick.

Yours start to loc up yet ?

Hella frizzy ?

 

[_Goldie_]

Yea its still frizzy, but its pretty much loc'd up. I did the towel rub with about 2 months of growth and it didnt do shit. I tried again around 7 months and it loc'd up instantly. I'm still in the afro phase, but its mostly loc'd up.
