What you should have done is take a re-tightening class and maintain them yourself.<BR/><BR/>As for your comment re the Maasi tribe wearing locks for 400 years, I would like to know if you know of a website where I can view them wearing this hairstyle or similar.

It has a friendly and laid back "feel". <BR/><BR/>Since you are familiar w/doing loc maintainance w/this tool can you explain in more detail how exactly to use the Nappy Locs tool?<BR/><BR/>I'm looking for a "once the tool is in your hand, place your loc here, pull/twist then do xyz" sort of answer (if you're up to sharing that type of detailed info) :).<BR/><BR/>I've used the latchook to maintain my roots but, I'm looking for something that is a bit more fool- proof. My issue w/the latchhook is that I sometimes end up grabbing nearby locks or get the hook tangled in my roots. <BR/><BR/>I've started to buy the Nappylock tool several times butI guess that I'm looking for a little reassurance that the Nappylocs tool is easier to use than a latchhook.<BR/><BR/>Also, have you ever run into any problems in using the tool that you could elaborate on? Using the latchhook if one is not careful one can end creating a "hole" in the newgrowth part of the lock which can be undone if found early. <BR/><BR/>Are there any similar pitfalls to lookout for in using the Nappy locs tool?<BR/><BR/>If the answers are somewhere else please redirect me. <BR/><BR/>Thank you and God bless, <BR/><BR/>Adonna<BR/><BR/>P.S. <BR/>I've seen you and your husband on 3ABN hosting Teen Pathways. I like the way you two share your ideas and help the youth to open up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13464137.post-1156352558485180332006-08-23T11:02:00.000-06:002006-08-23T11:02:00.000-06:00Clip tool is the only one I am comfortable using. ...Clip tool is the only one I am comfortable using.

I am taking great pleasure in reading the details and looking at the pictures. I just began my own blog called "freedomhair" which will soon be filled with photos and thoughts of my own, but again I must say... There is an abundance of information in your blog that I have not been able to find anywhere on the web until now. I use a latch-hook to maintain my locs and I just purcahsed a nappylocs tool (for the second time) and this is my first time even seeing the sisterlocks tools. You can't find pictures of them anywhere online. <BR/><BR/>Again, thank you for the details and for sharing so very much of yourself with all of us that seek knowledge.<BR/><BR/>~jaiDalon~jaiDalon~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06781052714413426671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13464137.post-1142594722210977352006-03-17T05:25:00.000-06:002006-03-17T05:25:00.000-06:00Hello your site is great, I am Locked in London si...Hello your site is great, I am Locked in London since December 05 and enjoying the journey<BR/><BR/>God bless you and keep up the good work with 3ABN!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13464137.post-1140285373530755262006-02-18T11:56:00.000-06:002006-02-18T11:56:00.000-06:00Hi LaChanda,I have been SL'd 13mos and started mai...Hi LaChanda,<BR/><BR/>I have been SL'd 13mos and started maintaining them at 7mos with the clip tool...I just couldn't get the hang of the hook tool.

I've been SL'd for 10 mos and I have ordered the small NappyLoc tool. I will take my retight class in March. I have read LeighAnn's comments on LockItUp and was sold on it's ease of use before trying! Now your testimony sets it in stone for me.

It was so easy to use. I think that will be my tool of choice. Thank you for this post. I learn so much from you guys on the web. Like you said, it is also faster than the clip tool because you avoid that step of clipping it to the loc.
