Here's a happy Naomi with her happy Sisterlocks-tician . . .
Monday, February 16
We're done!!! We had two mini-sessions today and finished with 404 locs. I'll do a re-count next time we shampoo and separate, just to make sure our notes were correct. We spent a little more than 35 hours with our loctician, and with stretch breaks and other interruptions, the Sisterlocks probably took around 28-30 hours. Some small fussing aside, Naomi did great with the long periods of sitting. We watched allot of movies!!!
Since it took so long to finish some of the first sections are almost ready for retightening. In fact, our loctician did a few of the front ones today, and we will go for our first re-tightening session in a couple of weeks.
Naomi's locs are still a bit fuzzy at the tip due to her hair texture, and even though the locs are done as close to the tip as possible, a bit at the tip is left a little looser to encourage the locking process. The whole tendril will "lock up" from the tip to the scalp and get more "mature" as time goes on.
I was upset to find that Naomi's hair, especially a section on the left side, was cut very unevenly. Several months ago I took Naomi to an Ethiopian salon for a trim, thinking they would be familiar with her hair type and able to do a good job. I wasn't happy with it at the time, and now that I see that it has such a huge snafu, I am even more unhappy. But what can you do? I am only sad that once the locs are mature and we are able to trim it and shape it up, that we will have to lose allot of length to make it even.
Lovin' our locs . . .
