Anyhow long story short. My DH started growing his hair out in Nov. 07 decided to start his own braidlocks in April 08( talk about too much time on his hands, lol). Anyhow they came out decent, the parts werent straight but he was okay with that. He started the braidlocks method because he has a very soft texture and wanted the freedom of being able to wash his hair whenever he wanted. Through out his journey I was maintaining his locks with the NappyLock Tool One year passed by and he decided that he wanted to start his lock journey over, he wanted them smaller and neater, meaning he wanted straighter parts. If only he would have waited for me to do them. Anyhow so I took down his locks in May of this year and restarted them with the NappyLock Tool in June. In the beginning he was happy with his locks, however due to my severe nausea and vomiting, his locks werent maintained as much as he liked them to be and he did not want anyone else in his hair. Anyhow now he is frustrated with the frizziness(sp?) of his hair. I told him to be patient that the frizziness(sp?) will go away when his hair locks! Just to make him happy I have been researching on other blog sites and you tube for a plan.
My plan for him is to start retightening his locks with a latchhook, as I heard it cathces more of the loose hairs at the base, and to start palm rolling the rest of his lock with some type of locking aid (seen a few of videos of this process on youtube). I'm not sure if this will work for him but I will give it a try. Anyhow on to the pics.
This is a collage of his 1st set of locks before a retight and after. Click on the pic to enlarge.

I am so jealous of my hubby's length and texture!
These are pics of DH's 2nd Set of Locks. Click on pic to enlarge.
They really turned out nice, however they don't quite look the same, I do believe that locks can be revamped. When that time comes for me to retighten his hair. I'm so excited to do his hair, I can't wait! I will post updates so stay tuned!
Until Next Time Much Love
