    “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is to tighten your own microlocs with one of those tools.” Sayeth me from the book of heck naw!
    I applaud you for demonstrating this. And you did this hundreds of times over? Gurl, I would handover my checkbook and my first born to pay someone to do this for me! You deserve thousands more subscribers. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

    North to south
    West to east
    South to north
    East to west
    (To end going LEFT)
    South to north
    East to west
    North to south
    West to east
    (To end on RIGHT)
    Basically, start in your mind with the direction you want it to face towards. Then plan backward, staggering N + S and E + W directions.

    I'm at the point in my Sisterlocks journey where I'm learning how to do my own reties bc I have face some discrimination from these loctician In Atlanta. Took me 3 hours for the back half and its wasn't that bad. I caught up on my show while doing it. I work from home so def something I can do during the work day easily. I just bought my tools bc I was using my fingers lol But excited about learning how to retie my own hair! Thanks for the great tutorial!!

Lol it was funny they said all of the young girls are buying up the grey quick lol , I got the stick and the black edge control gel which is off the chain it last a little longer.
