So someone asked today in my comments area what my lock count is. The reason it was asked was because I mentioned on an earlier post that my consultant is going to split some of my locks and make them smaller, (newborn SL's). Ok so I counted approx 307. I have read others blogs and they have mentioned from 400 on up to 600. I think once we split some of mine I still won't be at over 400, which is ok with me. Right now I have a lot of teeny ones. Mine are small, medium and large. I decided that especially a few on the top front that felt a bit on the large size that I want them small only. A few in the back my consultant mentioned she wants to split in the back which is fine with me also. I do know that the more locks you have, the longer your retightening sessions can be. So next weekend on the 23rd will be my appointment and I'm looking forward to seeing my consultant again. I love her personality. So ladies, please share if you with how many locks you have and mention any pros or cons or anything on your mind about it.
Peace, love and no hair grease.

I just came across your blog and wanted to welcome you to the SL sorority (lol) AND to congratulate you on your journey. Your locks are faband just like age, lock count is nothing but a number. Keep those locks fab!
The love with in the SL community is contageous and I love the encourage.
I have about 250 and I love it. I did most of them myself. The pro is less time for retightening them when I do them myself. And less money if I have another person do them. The pro is that they slip less.
I'm loving the comments. Thanks ladies. I also find that some of my SL's that are larger don't seem to be slipping either. Makes you want to say "hmmmmmm" lol.
i have around 442 or i am suppose to. i have so much slippage in the back that those dont even deserve to be counted :) i can forsee getting a few combined simply because as my hair is gaining length it is just growing out like a lion's mane. i think the pros and cons of your loc number depends on the texture and the skill level of a consultant. if you experience little slippage because your hair locs fast and a speed demon for a consultant, 600 sisterlocks aint that bad
Hey Nicole, not sure how many locs I have now since I have had some added around the hairline that has grown back. What truly matters to me, is how I like the look of my locs. I actually find that after a year of having my SL's I love my larger one's more. Looking forward to seeing what happens as I venture into year two of my journey.
