How many hours should re-tightening take???

It took 3 days for my Sisterlocks to be installed. It took 13 hours the first day, 14 hours the second day, and 13 hours the third day. I was prepared to deal with the hours of sitting through this process since I knew the benefit would be worth it. Now, as for my retightening, it takes 12 hours. Is this normal? I once did a search on Google and found postings from ladies who said their hair is re-tightened in 2-4 hours. Two other posts said 5-6 hours. I really like my consultant, but is 12 hours for re-tightening extreme? Posted by Picasa

WAS your retightening long because it was such a long time b/t sessions? June to Sept???maybe if you did the 3-4 wks it could go quicker. I love your locks!

Thanks for the comments ladies! This was actually my third retightening session about 4-5 weeks apart, and all three have lasted 12 hours. I really like my loctician but I'll have to start looking around for someone else who is quicker. I can't use any more leave from work and my weekends are tied up with school. I'll keep you posted on my search!

Give my locktitian a call: Iverline Hewitt. 240-643-3095. 12 hours for retightening sounds insane to me. Are your locks constantly slipping??? Does she charge by the hour?? My word!!

I have like 580 locks and I would say it would take about 4 hours.

Hello and welcome.

I did the re-tightening class in the UK in September. I did my hair in a week. That is doing a little every evening after work. I did a friends hair and it took me 7 hours. Not bad for a first attempt. I am going to Miami in November to do the consultants training. So excited.

12 hours is a loooong time for a retightnin. I didn't sit that long for my initial locking session. I noticed that you're in Maryland as I am. I go to a nice lady who does Sisterlocs out of her home in Silver Spring. She does my hair in about 2 hours. I don't know how many locs I have but our hair looks similar in length and texture. U can chk me out if u like. The consultants name is Claire Green and she's listed on the official Sisterlock site.
