Sorry I've been away so long. School started back up and life got hectic. I seem to have everything under control now, so I'm back on my blogging!
Let's talk about latching!
I have a sensitive scalp, so I have to wash my hair at least every 3 days. This is the main reason I have decided to interlock my roots. This is my 2nd time latching since I started locking. The first time, I had 4 weeks of new growth and it took me between 2 and 3 hours. This time I had 7 weeks of new growth and it took me 6.5 hours! Lesson learned... I will be staying on a 5 week schedule! If I wanted to spend 6 hours doing my hair, I would have kept putting twists in every three weeks lol.
I used a yarn needle for the ones that haven't gotten too thick yet, and a latch hook for the nape of my neck which has bunched and locked into weird shapes. :)

| My tools |
To get my locks into the yarn needle, I fold one in half and thread it through the eye.
I use a 3-6-9-12 rotation although I have found a few that aren't growing as fast so for those I have been using 6-3-12 or 6-9-12. I do try to always end at 12 so that my hair is pointing down when I'm finished.
Here's a before and after of my hair... as you can see, I clearly needed to tighten my hair lol
I have been storing up pics while I was on my blogging break so sometime this week, I'll have a style post... and then my 3 month anniversary is coming up!!
Until next time, keep it nappy!!
*flips locks* Deuces!!
