i stopped caring about dread lock extensions after one day i picked up my husband from cleveland in march and he said it looked really nice, fresh. so i stopped hiding my face.
think i took these in march. my hair looks denser at this point in july and the weight is making them drop. hang in there if you are worried about how thin your hair is in the beginning. if you have thin or soft hair. it took about 6 months or longer to get past that. i also abandoned using any type of hook or tool. The nappylock tool helped me get the hang of it. I had it in all sizes. I am planning on creating a video to explain how to do it either way--- with a NL tool or with your hands.. I needed all the sizes because the locks in front seem micro and i have redone the back because it was too soft to hold such small locks and made those large. I find myself tightening the front (the small small ones) much more often that the larger ones in the middle and very back.
abandoning my loctician cured my that way i can avoid the bald look.... the least fav thing about sisterlocks. i have combined some of them but not too many...
TO HAND TIGHTEN: put your finger through the new growth.and pull the end of the lock back through it.. kind like you were crocheting or making bracelets with the colorful thread.
if you are confident in yourself and arent afraid of "messing up your hair" i highly suggest this method. For one, youll have a completely unique set of locks that no one else will have. two you can tighten your hair while watching tv every few days in your idle time. three you can avoid that baldy scalpy look because you arent going to tighten EVERY single one at once. Four its free. Five its easier to teach and youll get good karma for passing on the knowledge and freeing your friends and loved ones who dont love their own hair.
