Locaversary, Yarn Braids, and Biotin: An Update

Hey! I'm two days away from my six month locaversary and my hair is in yarn braids! I did this completely by accident. I didn't realize while I was putting them in that my locaversary was so darn close. *sigh* I won't get to actually see my locs on this special day. I've had the yarn braids in for less than a week, so there's no way I will be taking them out so soon. Oh well! I will be learning patience while I wait to see my babies again.

Anyway, my yarn braids are very thick this time. I mentioned this in my video, but I think that this is due to the growing thickness of my locs. I always try to match the thickness of the braid to the thickness of the loc. This time, I required a lot more yarn to braid my babies. I love how thick they are! It gives me an entirely different look. We'll see how my actual locs turn out.

I know I haven't talked much about a regimen of any kind for my locs. That's because I do not have one! I am terrible at regimens for my body besides brushing my teeth and taking showers, to be honest. I even suck at vitamins. Even though this is true, I bought some biotin vitamins from Amazon.com today. They were only $8 and I have an Amazon gift card, so I figured they would be worth it even if I fell off the regimen. I will be taking 10000mgc pills everyday as often as I remember. My friend told me that they have been excellent. She says that she has noticed her hair becoming stronger and having less pimples. I have awful acne scars, but not so many breakouts anymore. I've heard some say that the vitamins have helped their skin while others say the exact opposite. I will definitely let you all know what happens! I'll also post the exact brand I bought in the next post.

Until next time!

Update 4/26/12
I got my Biotin pills in the mail today! The brand is Natrol, and they contain 10,000 mgcs of biotin. This is the maximum strength. I took one today and became slightly nauseous. I was at fault though, not the pills! I was supposed to take it with a meal and I didn't. I know better next time.
