Rounding out two months or so, about two-thirds of my locks are definitely tightening up and becoming solid. The remainder are in varying states of "mushy," and are mostly being held together by the base and tip bands alone.
As to the tips, we started to blunt some of them yesterday.
We tried it out on a handful, with some success . . . I put bands back on one or two but I'm pretty sure te others we tried will tighten up sweetly.
The loose hairs being fed into the locks seems to be an endless chore. I've gotten pretty good at making dread balls, but I can't for the life of me get them into the lock without help. I have a halo of hairs above my head, and little by little I hope to see them all go where they belong.
Trickier is going to be the flyaway stuff on the surface of the tighter locks. Time and good advice should help me figure out if there's anything I need to be doing about them.
So far, so good. I don't think wax is slowing my locking down, and my haberdasher bears that out. Maureen is African-American, has had locks for twenty years, and recommends the use of wax in them.
