This Blog will mainly consist of my sister lock journey, (Shout out to my loctician Jaqueline Ashby!) my make up models and whatever else may be on my mind that day.
So, about my sister locks...I love them!!! If you know me, I'm sure you already know...heehee. Anyhoo, it's pretty much the best decision I've made for my hair since birth. I got my first relaxer, in probably the fourth grade. I remember standing in front of my bathroom mirror, whipping my hair back and forth, mesmerized by how it moved. I've always had thick full hair, that is until it was damaged by all the chemicals I put in it, year after year. As a result I proceded to grow it out, and then relax it, time and time again. I went natural a few times as a pre-teen, then as a teen, and then a few times into adulthood.
I had had a full head of thick un relaxed hair from 2002 until about 2005. One of those day's my mother suggested I get a relaxer again. Somehow thinking that this time would be different I decided to relax it again. It looked really pretty...until it fell out again six months later. I transitioned out of the relaxer by getting single braids and full weaves. One day as I was taking out my braids, I decided to cut off all of my hair, minus the new growth. Frustrated, and fed up with relaxers, I decided I was going to get traditional locks, hence my fear of the begginning stages of the locking process. I started them with Yarn to try and skip the short twist looking stage. I kept them in for about 3-4 months, that is until my Aunt who has traditional locks told me to look up sister locks. I did, and was fairly impressed with the look of them. Shortly after that, I was walking through downtown Boston, and saw a young lady with the most beautiful hair I'd ever seen. I stared her down so hard she probably thought I was gay..lol...Anyhoo, I stoped her and asked her about them. That was the day I decided. I needed sister locks in my life. I finally started my sister locks April 25th-26th 2008. It took about 20 hours, combining both day's. Today I'm 4 months, and a few weeks into my journey. I couldn't be happier.
