Dreadlock Voyage pt.3

Well, I was finally able to go back for a follow up and to finally get my hair washed. I ran into a bunch of snags with my work schedule and I wasn't able to keep the appointments. She wanted to see me three weeks after our last session, and it turned into five weeks I think until I saw her again.

So far, everything is working out and a lot of them are starting to lock.  The rubber bands help a lot with keeping them in place when I train Jiu Jitsu. Also, because of work, I haven't been able to do that very much lately. Sucks too because I am getting ready to compete in my biggest tournament yet, the IBJJF Worlds. I have been told by many people that I shouldn't feel pressured about the tourney, mainly because it is the blue belt division. I'm excited about it none the less.

I back tracked and looked up info on using rubber bands and found out that you should only have them in for two months.  We'll see how that goes.  That might be an issue with Jiu Jitsu if they haven't locked all the way yet. If it becomes a problem, I still have a bunch of rubber bands left and can put them back in.

The main reason I worry about this is because there are still some locks that feel loose. I bought bees wax to use on those to help them bind faster.  One of the people I watch on youtube says that bees wax and other creams like that aren't necessary because the hair will bind on its own, but I am taking into account the physical activity I do as an exception to that rule.

I have also started using supplements to help my hair grow a little faster.  Hair, Skin, & Nails is what I use mainly, I haven't looked at any other supplements just yet because this has been working really well.  Usually my hair will grow to a certain point and either stop or slow down a great deal and that's when I use to get it cut, now with using this stuff, not only has it continued to grow but it has grown fast. Who knows, I may have had a biotin deficiency all this time.

I don't have to worry about back for another appointment for at least a month, so I guess I'll see how much my hair will grow and what I will with it next.
