December 2016 Sisterlocks Re-tightening (1 Year, 1 Month)

Did I push this last retie for 2016 to the end or what? LOL!

 Side note: I have ALL my 2017 appointments booked. I really enjoy going to a salon that uses an online booking system- if the appointment time and my consultant of choice is available, and I want it- the appointment is mine.

 Here are some before and after pictures of my grid. Along with a video (click here for the video). I have been wanting to do a few intricate braided styles, but I prefer to do them on freshly re-tightened hair the clean grid make the braids "pop" even more. So stay tuned for some new styles!
I look forward to "seeing" all of you in 2017!
  • Age of my Locs: 1 year, 1 month, 18 days (or 13 months, 18 days)
  • Weeks since last retie: 6 weeks, 1 day
  • Length of retie:  3 hours
  • Slippage/Bunching/Loc Repair: none, my consultant says that protective styling saves you from bunching

    • The locs I accidentally cut:  all 7, plus an additional 2 were re-established/established
