Much needed re-ti

July 8, marked the day that I officially returned to Kathy for my re-ti..might I add it was a much needed re-ti.  She thought it was going to take 2 days to tighten my hair due to the length of time it had been since she last saw me.  Thankfully it only took 6 hours; and according to her "a little surgery"...lol.  I came dangerously close to cutting my locs off on several occasions...but then I remembered "color".  I'm not sure, but I think I have some deep rooted issues with my hair.  Every time I get stressed, my hair pays the price....lol.  Luckily I color now instead of cut.  May hair looked like a thick mop and my scalp was no where in sight.  Here are before and after photos.
