This post is day late. I had a retightening on May 11th. I am at half a year! WHOOT! WHOOT! Weeks since last retie: 5 weeks, 4 days Length of retie: 3.5 hours Slippage/Bunching/Loc Repair: my temple area locs, one or two locs with a bit of slippage Length: between neck and collarbone Fullness: definitely more voluminous Buds: a few more locs have some buds Sealed ends: n/a Other noteworthy items: My locs are in the teenage phase! My consultant says my locks are super fuzzy at the roots! It seems that I may be on loc lock down until I hit the 1 year mark. I may take the retightening class in the fall so that I can manage my temple locs and keep them from slipping. I meant to take pictures in my length check shirt, but I styled my hair and while reties don't hurt in general, I am tender headed and my scalp feels as if I had micro braids installed. I just couldn't undo all the cornrows for pictures. These fuzzy roots and teenage locs had my scalp sore LOL Alright,
