Self retightening take two and three

Okay so Let me start with day two.. Hey things arent so bad so far! I was holding my tool with confidence today...LOL!.....Until... Oh no what have I done! I have Married one of my locks with another.I guess I didnt secure the locks that were complete...One got away.I panicked and was ready to call 911...somebody help me..LOL! Relax, Relate, release. I approached the mirror to see the damage I though I did....But luckly I hadnt reached my scalp so I was able to put the lock back in its place....Geesh!From there things looked great.I'll now play close attention to my clipped locks so none will escape:) day 2 took about 2 hours before bedtime. I work full time and I have 4yr old..... so Im giving myself a reasonable 2-3hrs a day until I master this reightening thingy. see day two's progress :)

Day 3.......today I started in the back this time....I thought it would be a challenge but it seemed abit easier. I had more control of my hands...

see day 3

The Adventure Begins....Woo is Me!!

Hello Ladies is been a minute since my last post. First off
things remain wonderful with my locks. I am now 7mths locked.....time is flying. My hair has grown so much over this 7
mth period.I was happy to find out during my 6mth retighening...I
no longer need to braid and band my hair for washing...I was well on my way and was in no danger to slippage. Oh my :) that first wash after hearing that was so freeing..."LOL.....No residue! I was able to dig right in and get my scalp squeaky clean. Well weeks passed and I decided......why not take the plunge now and learn how to retighten my hair...couldn't be too overwhelming right :o! I then
called my consultant and turned my retightening appt. into a class.
So I was very excited about leaning how to retighten my locks. After going to class....All I can say is ...WEW...I feel like I was working with all thumbs.....I did 4 locks in 1 1/2 hrs...funny right.I was thinking to myself there's no way I get this head completed! Im so Glad my Consultant will be there for me whenever i need a break...LOL! Much Luv Paulette :). Well when I got home I decided...Id take a stab at it again...well there was finally a light at the end of the tunnel......I was actually getting the tool thru in one swoop...I was starting to get the my pattern without looking at the guide. I finished 4 rows on both sides. my confidence level was now up after 3hrs....LOL. My anticipated 2 weeks to finish was looking a bit promising. Well take a look at my progress..........I should be done in a week.....naw....I gotta get done soon :o!
