Still in the 8 week no retwist challenge. I’m now on week 5. So far so good. My next appt is Dec 29th. My hair has def come a lonnnnngggg way and my locs are finally matured. If I can get retwists every 8-10 weeks eventually that would be awesome. Last year around this time it was frizz frizz frizz galore After week 2 o_O there still is frizz and always will be but def not as much.

Feeling around in my head earlier, and it feels like the hair in the middle of my head is locing!!

Sidenote: I was watching this guy on YouTube he reviews people's locs. And he had an evolution of Lil Wayne's locs and how he is balding. And for some reason the review made me sad to see how his locs are now.

This loc right here bothers me, it’s looser than the other ones. And it’s more soft than the other ones. I’m not sure if this is the one that my loctician fixed a few months ago so it’s not as mature as the other ones. I put eyelash glue on the end to make sure it doesn’t come a loose. I do believe that texture in the front is a looser texture compared to other parts of my hair. My retighten isn’t till the 3rd of January.

2018 is almost here and I’m trying to decide if I want to get a retwist before New Years or the following week (my birthday week).

Has anyone become tender-headed since you loc’d your hair?

...I was thinking I would treat myself this month and go to her for a full retight. That would cost 165.00 when I tried to book the appt I see that now she adds tax on so it would cost over 172.00. In January her price will go up again to 180.00 for a retight! Tax will add on another at least 7.00.

What would y’all do?

I would do one of 3 things: find another consultant; bite the bullet and do my own re-ti; find another sister with SLs who had training and retighten each other's hair. $200 for a re-ti is too much for me.

Oh how I miss lhcf. So much to see and read. My SisterLocks are almost 5 months, and they have been nothing but a godsend!! My 5th re-ti is on the 23rd. I'll post updated pics afterwards.
