Moving On

So I am glad to share that I completed my first ever retightening this week. I was so nervous about it but I was determined. After going through 3 SL consultants ( which seems to be the norm for many..ie more than one), I decided that I was done! I would cut off the locks before I put up with one more. So I got through it..at first I was nervous but my learning curve kicked in and it got easier and then I decided that I loved retightening my own hair. Its empowering not to depend on anyone to maintain my hair. I must say that my locks look thin and patchy to me in certain areas like the crown and sides. I have experienced growth but not the fullness I expected to regain by wearing my hair in a more natural form. There are days that I really deliberate about just cutting them off and wearing a fro. The nappy lock tool is a great tool and I like it a great deal, I am hopeful that it may be more user friendly for my hair. I will keep you posted.

Its time...

Its been a while since I have blogged about my locks. I still have them and I still have great days and iffy days with them. The iffy days consist of me pondering if I should just cut them off and do something else. I am not a fan or re-tightenings and do not really like the fact that I do not have control over my own hair. I had been pondering a re-tightening class but kept procrastinating about it. Well, I am going to have to just jump in!!! My consultant who is my 3rd and my favorite so far informed me by email today that she has decided to cut back on her client base. I was just at her studio last week so it felt weird and very inpersonal to receive an email. I was sad and disappointed but I know deep in my heart that everything happens for a reason so I decided not to embark on further discussions and to just move forward. I am going to order the nappy locks tool and just teach myself using youtube tutorials. i just do not feel like going to find/learn a new person. I need to learn how to maintain my own hair and with God's grace, I will..it will be okay! I will keep you posted.
