The kids were out of school for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so we planned on hair for the whole day. We were really hoping to get most of it done. And even though we spent from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. with only a few stretch breaks and a short hop to McDonald's for lunch (we even brought it back to eat it), we only finished the front section. Naomi's hair ranges from 6"-9" in length and each loc takes about 2-3 minutes. But with separating, parting, and combing, the total time per loc is probably closer to 5-6 minutes! We now have 150-some locs completed.
Here we are with front locs tied up, and the unlocked hair in the back in box braids with big beads.

Washed, combed, and ready to go! ~ FYI: Her hair in these pics is soaking wet.
Parted out!
Even though I had it all combed out in the morning, it still took close to 45 minutes just to separate her hair and get the sections parted. Now you know why I am so excited for the locs!
The locking process is going much slower than any of us anticipated. Naomi is very tender-headed, and our sweet loctician is very accommodating to her needs -- thankfully, or it may take even longer. The first day we did four hours and got a small section in the front complete; about 40-ish locs.
