But if your in the Chesapeake, VA area check out blackbutterflies and ask for faith! Tell her that I sent you!
After admiring/researching sisterlocks for 2 months, I decided it was the right choice for me. After 3 years of being a loose natural, I was ready to embark on a new journey. This blog is about my journey to becoming sisterlocked and hopefully it is helpful for individuals thinking about getting their hair locked but have been afraid to take the final step.(Plz do not use any of my pics w/o my consent. Thanks!)

I love curls,curls,curls,Curls
after removing the loc loops |
Check them out... Tell me what you think. 4 flat twists on the side and loc loops seal in the deal. I achieved this look with using only water.
8 months in and I still love my sisterlocks! I love how lightweight they feel and I love the natural fullness and body of my super thick hair.
Thanks for viewing!

Under the dryer
It's the night before my 2nd retighten with Ms. Zelda and decided to wash my hair and sit under the dryer. Tomorrow will also be my 8th month sisterlocks anniversary! Go me!
I think I am getting better at washing my hair. I'm probably not... But this go round I did get all the shampoo out of my hair. I also added smaller sections in my hair when I was banding it. That makes it easier to wash it.
This go round I also put my SL shampoo in a spray bottle that I diluted it with water and sprayed it directly on my scalp. That seems to help( got the idea from YouTube)
Also once a month just to give my sisterlocks that extra clean feeling. I spray my apple cider vinegar and water that I have in a spray bottle on my hair. I let it sit for a few mintues and then I rinse it out.( got the idea from from my former consultant, Ms. Tanisha, oh how I miss her), I don't know why but I don't put anything on my hair except the SL shampoo but I seems to have build up in my hair from time to time so I use that before I wash my hair with the sisterlocks shampoo. So far so good.

Freeze!!!
It could be everyone but I swear when I put my hair in a ponytail and try to take it down it stays in a freeze zone. Lol. I don't put anything in my hair. Spritzing it with water doesn't work either... Maybe my hair is super thick but I literally have to pull my hair in sections. I just thought that seeing that my hair doesn't have any weight my SL would just drop down when I take my ponytail holder or loc soc off. I was mistaken! Lol. If anyone has a suggestions or are experiencing this let me know... An excuse the facial expressions... I like making silly faces in the mirror... Until next time!
