Latchin' locs

Yesterday, I sat down and tried to retighten my son's braidlocs. I have puchased and read cherie's bradelocz book about her journey and latchin technique. Iwas a little confused while reading, although the pictures were quite clear. walmart supplied the latch hook for $0.99 and a floor pillow for comfort. After doing a few, it was really easy and i was able to increase my speed. Very important note: DON'T OVERTIGHTEN!!! it's so quick and easy that you can forget not to tighten all the way down to the scalp. Cherie recommends 1/8in from the scalp and my son,Amir, will second that. The very close ones he said hurt.Overall experience was great and the $28 for her book with the great pics and info was well worth it.

You go ahead then girl! I do my own retightenings as well (since March). I am getting better everytime I do it. Arms still get tired though (lol).

I have to make myself leave locs that are not ready to be tightened alone (lol).
