I have a name and number of two locticians in so cal.. more like los angeles. I can give you their number if you hit me up.

hmmm, when you find a place, let me know because I've tried doing my hair myself and it doesn't work out or I should say, the desired results are not achieved. plus, if I don't do something quick about my hair situation, I might have to start wearing it short and I don't want to do that again.

dreads for centuries required no knowledge no skill no effort at all
only recently did they become co0mplicated read the dreaducation thread (link top of main page)

as for brands..none.. just an aloe plant thats all

Thank you. Yah, I usually catch on to things quickly, but for some reason I have it in my head that this is some magical process that's out of my league. lol

You will find that a few will tell you to let them be. I think what is missing here is the basic understanding that OUR hair is quite different. We do not do T&R. We do not do the natural loc thing for the most part. Most blacks that I know that do the natural loc are Rastas and they do not work in corporate america. I wish I could help you find a good loctician. However, have you ever tried retightening yourself. All you need is the loc'ing gel (mango and Lime) and some clips. Start with the back row first. Twist and hold in place with clip. Each row - move the clip up to hold it against the last row you did. You will find that you will have a neat and polished look - then head to the barbershop for that double fade line.
You will look good enough to eat!!! Oh and prolly get the job too.
LOL

this. I have helped my friends twist their locks, and it is not hard once you get the hang of it. good luck :):)

Man....is the moon full or something? I'm sure having a frustrating night.

leave them alone! retightening only makes them weak
they never need retightening..ever
but

dependsing how u had them retightened u may have severe damage u need to recover from

if u crocheted well u will get very wild due to the massive amount of broken hairs

so how were they retightened before?

Why do you think you need them tightened? Dreadlocks tighten without you needing to go anywhere to have them tightened.
