I cannot believe it happened. I still don't even know which snips did it. Yes plural. It happened at least twice.
I installed goddess locs myself for the first time about 8 weeks ago. I'd been planning to take them down for at least the last two weeks but I was too busy. I finally started Sunday night. It was taking a lot longer than I expected. I ended up staying home yesterday and working on it all day.
When I got to the final section on the front left side it happened. I didn't realize until the loc was out and I went to finger detangle like I had done countless times before and the section was now neck length stretched instead of whip length. I searched the trash and found a long twist of my hair and another shorter twist that had been cut... when? I don't know. The second one had to be a different section. What the H was I doing?!?!
Needless to say I was pissed and sad. I texted my people about it. They couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. Never did I think it would happen again... but it did. A few locs later i looked and I had another short section. This time was potentially worse. It was longer at about shoulder length stretched but it was closer to the outside so more visible.
I really enjoyed this style and I already bought hair for the next time. I was planning to re-do it right away then decided I'd wait a couple months. But after this I've lost all confidence in my DIY skills with this style. Especially since I still can't pinpoint exactly when/how I did it.
At this point it is what it is. I had to come tell my nikos cousins about it. I can only hope the short sections blend in easily that I forget they're even there for my curly and flat ironed styles. I'll keep you posted.
I gotta get ready for work. I'll post pictures later.
