Nervous, scared, excited, ready . . . all words to describe how I felt about one of my last re-tightenings. Why you may ask, because my very first client (who was Sisterlocked with about 1.5 inches of new growth, and about 7 inches of relaxed hair) was ready to cut her relaxed ends off. She has had her Sisterlocks for 1 year and 2 months, and she was SO ready to get rid of the relaxed ends . . . . so, her journey continues.
This is a picture of how her hair looked after a fresh washing and before her re-tightening, with relaxed ends. Her hair was completely wet.
The pile of hair seemed to grow and grow
After the chop
Curled on Straws
She sat under the dryer for about 45 minutes
Before the curls were pulled apart
