Hello blog family~
Sorry its been so long, a lot has been going on in my world. I changed careers and went to manicuring school and am now doing nails full time and I actually love it quite a bit. Unfortunately for me, beauty school ran the same hours as my locticians schedule so I went *gasp* 8 months with out a reti. I was a DIY for a while thanks to Kalia-Dewdrop. This kept my hair from looking like a lukewarm mess instead of a hot one. I didn't purchased the nappyloc tool she uses in her video. I fashioned my own with the assistance of NubianLockedPrincess from a yarn needle purchased at Wal Mart. Now my reti was in no way as professional as Ms Shannon my loctician but it did help it look not so frumpy.
When I FINALLY got in for my retightening, it only took about an hour and a half longer than usual. I didn't have much breakage at all, but she did have to marry a total of 4 locks so I now have a few double dragons, which came in handy, but I will explain that later.
I will say that I did have a LOT more folicles produced waiting so long to have my hair tightened up but other than that, it was not so bad..Granted I am now back on my 6-8 week schedule because I don't want to lose any locks just because I'm being lazy.
I know this post was rather short and sweet but MORE info to come shortly re professional coloring and a professional line of products that is lock friendly as well as a video.

NLP's videos are so great and i'm glad that you fashioned your own hair tool. I had to do the same after my locs became too fat for my NL tool and after I broke my latch-hook. I'm using a paperclip now and that's working out for me. Definitely keep us updated on your progress when you have some free time.;-)
Can you please give me the name of your loctician
How was the career change? I'm thinking of leaving the data analyst world for the esthetician world. I have GI bill money I need to use. What made you want to make that change?
Ms Shara, I go to Ms Shannon Scott-Creal located at doubletake salon in midtown. Shoot me an email and i will get you her number.
Ms Shavonne, the career change was great, less money, but also less stress and almost 2 years in and i still am excited about my job everyday. I am also teaching at a local beauty college and things are fab.
