I missed my 2nd appointment because of two necessary surgeries. So I had a fully covered scalp. The good news was that I had about 3/4 inch of growth. The bad news was that it took about 7 hours to retighten my hair. Below is the before picture.

The picture below is the after. I haven't had time to look for my measuring tape to see where I stand now. I may wait until my September appointment to measure.

The Locktician said that it looks as if my hair will be locked by the end of the year. That makes me jump with joy. It's in time for when I go to Atlanta for the Sisterlocks training. I had figured out how to pay for the class. I am hoping to be a good enough locktician to make a living from it.
