WOW what a difference....

I bit the bullet. I did something I never allow myself to do. It was so close to begging that I'd almost feel remorseful it there weren't evidence of a job well done. Remember the 1 loctician I tried calling a few months back? I didn't bother to try calling again.... I showed up at her shop. We consulted & made an appointment to tighten/clean up my roots. She said I had a lot of holes in the back locs & eventually the ends would have to be cut off. Brunsli was right.... the wavy ends probably won't loc. But cutting them now would mean loosing a lot of length, so I'll wait. I did hear happy news.....from the roots a lot of them ARE officially loc'ed! So now I will keep my hands out of my head for a while...I don't want to mess up this wonderful tightening job she did. She also trimmed off some stragglers & frizzies. I was so worried this cut would come out like Tra's, only because my hair is so much shorter than Tra's & I'm not sure it would be as cute if she cut it. Well as you can see, she did leave a lot of the curly cues for me to say an official good-bye at a later date. I am enjoying this loc'd hair!
