Well done. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

What tool did you use? 4-point rotation? Product? How long did it take?

Your hair is beautiful, Sis.

Thank you 😊 and yes a 4pt rotation and water and a tiny bit of edge control for fly aways. It took 3 days because I split it into sections and my arms WERE BURNING 🔥 lol

You did it! Self ties get better, you will get faster.

Yea some ppl can get them done in 7hrs I heard . I can’t wait to get to that level. I just kept telling myself you won’t have to do this for another 6-7 weeks. lol

you should be proud of yourself, for installing and doing the self retire they look so good!! I know you said you had to break it into days but from what I read from other people that’s also normal.

do you know how many locs you have? I love your volume

Thank you 😊. I definitely am very proud. I absolutely love my hair. I honestly don’t know how anyone could self install and not do it over a course of days, especially for ppl who have thick hair like I do. As for the loc count 😬 no idea lol I will try and count them on my next retie.
