3rd Retightening

Hi there everyone, well i have been for my 3rd retightening and the credit crunch is starring to show its effects on me. I'm starting to wonder if i can SERIOUSLY afford to keep this up...of course i will find a way by hook or by crook, but living in one of the most expensive countries in the world is not helping matters. Especially if its gonna take the same amount of time it just has. 7 hrs and i really didn't think the slippage was as bad as the first time round costing £70 / $140.

Can i really continue this? .... at that price?.......every 4 weeks?

I'm gonna have to try my hardest or unfortunatley i'll have to go for an alternative and i really didn't wanna do that, Lets just hope that my locs lock quickly and i can start maintaining them myself!!!!

Or..... maybe the fact that it took so long is that Sabs was doing another clients hair the night before and was clearly tired when her hands were in mine. I did remind her that when you are tired you move alot slower whether your aware of it or not sooooo lets not try to take too long, but it still took the same length of time it did, but she did give me a small discount so can i really complain?.....

Yes...

at the end of the day it's a woman right!!!

So this time round that i took a good peek at her diary and made sure that there was no one before me. So far so good. She prefers doing hair on a Saturday but she was booked so i decided to go for theFriday, that way her Sat morning client can pay the extra....

Sorry love, but it won't be me this time round!

On the good side though she says that my hair is beginning to show signs of locking

• Little balls at the end of each loc
• Budding in the middle of some locs
• Shrinkage
• The tight natural ringlet curls are beginning to disappear so soon i should be able to put in curlers and do all those fancy styles i see everyone out there doing.

I've also gone out there now i bought some hair accesories. I didn't really see the need before...the hair was sooooo curly there was nothing i could do with it (all i could do is sit back and watch Euphoria's and the everyone else's pretty locks and styles and dream that soon i'll be able to do that!)

I'm loving my locks right now.. (apart from the uncoloured regrowth...will i really be able to last a whole year without adding colour to my roots, That alone is a test that i think i'm gonna fail!!). They are starting to become more versitile, obvioulsly once they have left the baby stage and begin to mature i will be trully satisfied but for now there really isn't any downsides to all this apart form the expense, but i'm gonna have to start looking at this as a treatment to myself...something like a reward for all the things that i have to do in a day. A special thank you to me!!!

"Thank You Ezme, for investing time, money, patience and love in the enhancement of beauty in your hair"

A mantra i'm gonna have to start chanting everytime i head to the ATM to pay Sabs!!
