It's been...well...it's going on 7 months (July 29/30 to be exact) with my locks. I think they are shrinking now. Or have shrunk. I cant call it but they are getting tighter. The interlocking helps quite a bit and although I dont do it often, I find that it is working to keep my locks tight and neat whenever I DO decide to do them. I still visit my loctician but just barely.
This is what my hair looks like as of now:

I did a lock count (when I had finished braiding for a "Braid Out") and as of Today: July ...what would now be the 9th, 2008 @ 5:09am, i have a record of 120 locks!
Dec. 29th/30th will officially be one year since I started. Just because i was so lazy, it took two days for me to start/finish my locks by backcombing. I want my hair to be shoulders length and if I get daring enough, mid-back, and as I get older, even longer than that!! Watch me work!
