Time for some DIY

My last re-tightening was almost eight weeks ago!! My dear consultant has been sick and has not been able to make it to my last two appointments. Needless to say, my hair is looking a little wild. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands......with my Nappy Lock tool.





Now, I am pretty good with this little tool when it comes to doing the front sections of my hair.  However, when it comes to doing the back it becomes very difficult for me, simply because I cannot see what I am doing, and have to rely on touch only.  I have accidentally joined a few locks in the back, and it is hard to undo them.
Here are five locks which have been  re-tightened.







See these two locks at the front of my head? Look at the one on the left.  It is hanging on by just a few hairs.  The hair at this part of my head is quite thin.












I decided to join the two of these locks together, thereby strengthening the weak one.  How's that for taking things into my own hands?  It is actually quite an empowering feeling.

Great job, looks good I tried to do my own & combined locks cut off a lock seen to many flaws in my locks &. It took all week to finish so cudos to you.

Good decision. I had a few of these all over and joining them with another lock was the best decision i've made because now they're stronger. Great job with re-tightening your locs!
