re-Ti -ing 1000 locs....or so it seemed
















Ara and I went on friday to reTi my friend Seiwa's hair. Her locs were started with tiny twists in Ghana(which probably cost £5.00 ?). Some had unravelled entirely and needed to be re-installed. She is unofficially client number 3. Her hair is coily, wooly and dense in the back and it seemed she had 1000 locs! I attempted a loc count, but I'm guesstimating over 500 locs. Some may well have to be combined later. We had a fun girly time eating sweet cheries from her tree, but Arashia was so knackered she couldn't even muster a smile in that pic. She'd been up the day before re-Ting another client and up 3 days before that making a prom dress for someone.

Was this Seiwa's first reti? If not how long had it been since her last reti? Good job you were in it together....Arashia's expression brings back memories of when i used to put Sulola's hair in braids....knackering! lol

Yes, this was her 1st reTi, a month after having twists put in. A good alternative to sisterlocks!!

Tee Hee. Arashia's expression says it all! She looks so fed up! Sorry Arashia. Only 4 more weeks till my next reTi.

Heeheeheee! I know Seiwa. Maybe then we can do a proper loc count - if there are any black cherries left to fortify us. Are you aware Black cherries are jampacked with anti-oxidants? That's why your dog's eating them, wise thing.
