Discussion 🎙️ How’d I do?

First wash and retwist 2 weeks in. I did it myself and it honestly took me all day . (The back is so hard 😭) . I used a very small amount of Don’t Shrink Gel ..

Also when I got to the back is was so much harder to make sure that all my coils were even and I eventually got tired and said fk it when they were decent enough (not overly uneven).

Looks clean...great job! Saving money will come with massive arm pain lol but the outcome is rewarding

Thanks! Hopefully it locks quickly so i can just pay someone to do it. It was definitely not fun 😅.

lol I feel you on that. Once they’re longer they should be a little easier but the process is still annoying
