I already had a retightening scheduled for tomorrow the 12th so I am going to say that will be my last salon retightening. I am going to attempt my retightening 4 weeks from tomorrow. I’m excited! I maintained my traditional locks after about 1 ½ years and keep up my neat locks for 5 years. So I am confident that I can do the same with my Sisterlocks. Pray for me as I transition into a DIY-er! Peace & Blessings!
This blog will chronicle my natural hair and loc journey. I’ve been natural since 2001. I began my first loc journey in 2002 with traditional locs. I have made the decision to transition to SisterLocks™ this year. You are welcomed to watch my journey. Peace and Blessings!

I’ve been bitten by the DIY bug…..
My recent frustrating experiences with my SL consultant have motivated me to begin my journey to DIY! I checked the SL website to look at the schedule for the retighten class. The recent changes to the site were not helpful to me finding the information that I need. According to the schedule, I will not be able to fit the class into my schedule until December. :-( So I started looking at blogs, emailing people, and talking to sisters who are currently DIY-ers. I was referred to YouTube and I found a number of videos with retightening instructions. I ordered the Nappy Lock tool and I got it in the mail today! :-)

Welcome to DIY. I've recently started maintaining my own locs also. It's a good feeling when you complete your own head of hair.
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! I too look forward to becoming a DIYer. I would like to take the SL retightening class, mainly to get the too, but also to save a boat load of money! :>)
ReplyDeleteI wish you much success! Peace and blessings!
Thank you ladies for the encouragement!
ReplyDeleteI must say that the nappy lock tool is a God-send! I began to DIY out of necessity...just couldn't afford the retightenings anymore. I have strong confidence in you, especially if you maintained your set of traditional locks. In the beginning, it would take me a week of 3 hour sessions to finish my 579 locks...because I was so meticulous and using a mirror, etc. Now, I can do it in three days. YOU WILL BE FINE! Can't wait to see the update!
