PROLONGED RINSING.... LEMONGRASS EO.....
15 minutes of rinsing.... under the shower, squeezing my locs every minute or so.
Following a thread I read on a forum, I knew that the time I usually spend rinsing is not even close to as long as it should be.
I've been doing more rinses now ....
My love for lemongrass essential oil grows all the time...
It just picks me up as soon as I use my rinsing recipe:
1 part honey
2 parts water
Mixed well
a teeny drop of olive oil
4-6 drops of lemongrass essential oil mixed in well.
Massaged into wet locs and left for 5 mins....then rinsed for 15 mins....
The smell is so citrusy and vibrant. The steam just picks the lemongrass and clouds the batrhroom with a strong lemon smell. Mmmmmmm.
My locs now smell so fresh!
Great to use for times when you need a lift, like morning rinses or when you are feeling a little down.
I replace the lemongrass with sandlewood essential oil for night rinses, a very relaxing and spiritual enhancing oil.
If you buy any aromatherapy book, you will see that there are notes next to all the oils - high note essential oils are uplifting, base notes are relaxing oils to use.

MY LATCHED PARTS...
Just did another washing session, I missed the fuzz -- As my locs dry, the hairs around my scalp and locs tend to get really straight again. So I love just getting the locs wet and rinsing to bring back the coils.
It was the same with my loose naps --every time I brushed them when they were dry, they would be frizzy straight, like wiry straight. Its only when my hair is wet that they return to being really curly and lovely.
Anyways, back on topic --I was rinsing my locs today and looking through them. It seems that the latched parts of my locs look more shiny in appearrance from the rest of the freeform parts --probably due to the stretched affect it has on my hair texture, causing it to look really straight, bouncing off the light.
So I have a head full of shiny and matted parts lol!
I did like latching, but I think with thicker locs, the pattern shows more. If I had thinner locs, maybe it wouldn't have been so obvious and my locs will come together instead of branching into 2 entwined branches.
