My hair immediately looked fuller and more fluffy. Your hair looks about the same size as mine too.

(My hair grows fast.) Most of my ends sealed at about 2 1/2 years, the longest ones were the in "my kichens". I had a line and new locs grew when I stopped shaving the area.<BR/><BR/>I recently cut more than 8 inches. They were in the middle of my back and kept getting caught in door of my car. (The wind would blow when a closed the door and DONK!) <BR/>So I am back to shoulder length. I am glad I found your Blogg it gets lonely in Austin with Sisterlocks.<BR/>PeaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13464137.post-1139354731842423492006-02-07T17:25:00.000-06:002006-02-07T17:25:00.000-06:00Jazzilocs,2 years and yours still have not sealed?...Jazzilocs,<BR/>2 years and yours still have not sealed?

I'm not cutting to correct the<BR/>parts only cutting because of my bunching on the ends. My<BR/>ultra coily hair had terrible bunching and I hated the<BR/>ends. I'm sure if I were patient enough they would<BR/>have eventually sealed but what the heck, I may as<BR/>well do what I feel. Also, I do not do it myself, my<BR/>consultant did the chop for me and cleaned up each lock.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, I've answered your questions?Creyolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05034177018009936796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13464137.post-1139270934104262472006-02-06T18:08:00.000-06:002006-02-06T18:08:00.000-06:00Your locs look great.

Please explain further if you have time. Once you straighten your parts, why can't you put that loose hair in the loc that it belongs to? How do you do it yourself?

It seems like I would never get to a point where I was happy with them. I went through cutting and combining, redoing and grooming for a long time. In the end it was all good though.
