Aw, don’t be shy! Thanks for your kindness. Hopefully we get to speak again someday. Best wishes to you!
So much happening in my life lately. I’m trying to surround myself with love to care for myself amid all the dark news and brutalities. Stay safe, everyone. ♡

Tell me more about this needle and thread.. I back combed too but yours look so much more kept than mine.
Aww, thanks, but I think yours look great? Although I don’t think mine are perfect either—we’re our own worst critics!
If you want to try it out, there’s a tutorial here. Anyone can do it, it works great, and it’s super easy.
I can’t speak for everyone, but my triangle was more tolerable, especially in the long-term. It was pierced freehand (as opposed to clamped, which can sometimes make things more painful), the process of piercing it was shorter, and it healed much faster. The initial pain went away the second the needle passed through; but for my nipples, one of them hurt for days and the pain was dizzying.
Again, this is just my experience, so take it with a grain of salt! Your piercer’s training and experience will also make a huge difference too—so choose someone who knows what they are doing!
I can certainly make accent locks in different lengths! The hair is about 40 inches long uncut, and I can make the locks even longer, if needed! Just give me a length, and I can make it happen. :)
Thank you so much! I started most of my locs through backcombing (but when I do clients’ hair, I now use backcombing and crochet hooking). For maintenance, I use a needle and thread, and I occasionally retwist with aloe. To make them curly, I use loc knots.

I want you to be over run with love, I hope it covers you both forever.
