My Lock Consultation

Moraa gives free consultations! She spent about 20 minutes talking to me about the process of locking my hair. I wasn't sure how thick I wanted my locks because I had read that if your locks are too thin, they can break, and if they are too thick, it's difficult to go thin. I let her use her judgement and she chose something close to the size of a standard pencil. She did a couple of sample locks that I ended up keeping in my hair for 3 days. I was shocked by how easy it was for her to install them. I thought they would be tight around the scalp, but I was wrong. They felt as comfortable as having my natural hair loose. I made sure to wash them, carefully, using castile soap (I wanted to see how they would hold up). Because my hair is so kinky/curly, the locks look very similar to my regular hair. The curly overpowers the locks. I wonder what's going to happen when they are all over my head? They looked like little curly/fuzzy caterpillars :) I loved them!

My questions to her were pretty simple. She said it would take 4-5 hours for my length of hair (3 inches).

It was pretty easy to take them out. However, I did have to snip the end of one of them in order to unravel it. I didn't have to wait 5 minutes before I knew I wanted to make an appointment. I was so ready to STOP COMBING MY HAIR!!! Thank goodness for Spring Break. I decided to get them over my vacation so I could get used to seeing myself before I revealed myself to my kids (365 kindergarden - 5th grade students). They've seen me bald, curly haired, wrapped, braided, twisted, and wigged. I'm sure they will like it...or maybe they won't even notice.
