Well I did not push the issue.  In fact I gave up the on idea all together.

He's always had the perfect hair for natural locks.  What can I say… this is the texture that shortly after being combed … Quickly returns to it's original state.
                   AKA "BB's"

My question of the day would always be ….did you comb your hair????
   and of course
        his answer would be YES … SURE

Well several weeks ago I got a call at work telling me about his decision to cut his hair on the sides and lock the top.  I was shocked.  His hair grows real fast but every time he would get some length he would get it cut. 
But this time was different.  I wasted no time.  He happened to be off school for Fall break so this was a perfect time for me to take my time. 
So during a long 4 day weekend I set off to complete my task.

Part of the job was done at Grace's shop (My consultant).

I had her there to assist me when I had questions.  Parts were also done at home. 

Quite a challenge doing a relative I would say.  He would want to move around, play with his video games and even sleep in awkward positions while I was trying to do this "first" time locking session.

I was very surprised I was able to lock his hair.  It was real short in some places.
Some areas I had to let Graces trained hands help.  For the most part I did it all by myself.

I guess as a mother I can
Proudly say …..
He's following in my foot steps..
