2nd Retightening
















It had been five weeks since my last touch - up and I'd experienced a lot of growth though not evident in the pictures. The picture above is me fresh out of the shower and hours before my touch up; the others are after my appointment. I remember one of my fears being that my locks wouldn't be small enough and looking at the middle picture has brought back some of those old feelings. I'm not sure if it's because they are beginning to swell or if the camera is simply to close, but doesn't the base look huge? I don't know. I try not to compare but I only have approximately 360 locks. I thought I should have around 400. Maybe my head isn't as big as I thought.
I have fallen in love with the curly q ends and I love the fluffyness of my hair after it is retightened. We had an unseasonably warm day and the wind was high. Driving in my car with my sunglasses on and feeling my hair blow in the wind is my best experience yet. I can't wait to see what's next.

Your hair is gorgeous and seems to be coming along beautifully! I have braidlocks but have 4 b/c hair and it looks a lot like yours.

Keep up the good work!

I agree with A.W. that your locks are beginning to mesh/coil beautifully! I can't wait to see what they'll look like once they mature.
