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 Length: no major changes Fullness: no major changes Buds: more buds Sealed ends: none

Product Review::Lock Loops

Superman bought me 2 sets of Lock Loops! Not familiar? Here is the link to their website. This is NOT a sponsored post- just sharing the website information. Cost : $9.95 per package (I ordered 2) Qty : 30 per package (Again, I ordered 2) Shipping Time : Despite so many online raves about fast shipping- mine came after the expected delivery date. It is December, so I will chalk that up to the increased volume of shipped items. Ease of use : Extremely easy! If you can use a roller- you can use a lock loop. Ease of removal : Extremely easy! If you can remove a roller- you can remove a lock loop. Now the REALLY important item... Sleep Comfort : I almost forgot I had them in my hair. They were SOFT and light weight. No sharp edges or hard bumps. Drying Time : ~10 hours (air dried, approximately 15-20 locs per tool, total of 22 tools used) Note : I set my hair on a whim- just to practice before I record a demo/tutorial in the future. My hair was shampooed 1
