Now what you say...

So the other day I was at work and we were standing in the cafeteria line. So a co-worker says to me, "Wow I just love your sisterlocks! When did you get them? I know you were natural for some time now, but your sisterlocks are really nice." Now I have worked with her several times in the past, because she either floated/worked on my floor or I went up to hers. For the past couple of years we both were natural but hair was never really the topic of our many pleasant & brief conversations. So I explained to her that what I had before was also sisterlocks. She just looked at me like..."really!" She just went on & on about how she's thinking about getting them.
Not only her but more & more people have said that they now like my sisterlocks, while not even knowing what I had before. I did not even know that they knew what sisterlocks even were. I am really amazed at how popular sisterlocks is becoming in this area!!! I am also shocked at the difference that is seen by the public b/c of the quality of my 2nd set of real sisterlocks.

From the doctors to the patients, the comments/compliments let me know that this is a new era of a hair revolution sweeping the nation. This is something unique and different, and the world recognizes those differences. It's really catching their eye. It's so much more than just a hairstyle it is truly a lifestyle and personally, a sincere commitment.  But for those of us who have been through so much with our nappy, coily hair, feel something so much more than gratitude with each compliment. We feel free, real and simply true to our inner selves. What do you think about this new hair era?  Is it just the popular thing to do or are people really grasping the seriousness behind the commitment to having natural hair?

Mommy could you pleeeease do our makeup ?  So here's my oldest (right)  and her friend with traditional locks on the left posing for their play day as models. This is their calm look. LOL!  i am so glad to see these babies fully embracing and rocking their locks.  They carry their little Bibles with them daily, started singing together, and they plan to go to Harvard University.  With much prayer, discipline, and balance with fun, we will encourage them to reach for the top.

Even more love with my new 1 month sisterlocks~

Hello everyone!!!

I am really enjoying my sisterlocks more now than ever before!!!  During this first month of having them, we have been out many places together.  I went to NC, water parks, a baseball game and all the summer fun that goes along with this time of year.  Taking care of my sisterlocks has included products that I have stumbled upon, reffered to, and studied for myself, especially since I am allergic to the starter shampoo & other sl's products :(  One of the products are an awapuhi hair mist by Paul Mitchell.  You will really like this product.  And guess what it has a natural, lightweight oil in it too.  But I'll tell you more about that later.  First of all awapuhi is a plant in the ginger family.  It originated in India and was distributed eastward through Polynesia and later introduced to the Hawaiian Islands.  Awapuhi is commonly referred to as the shampoo ginger. The clear slimy juice present in the mature flower head is excellent for softening and bringing shininess to the hair. It can be left in the hair or rinsed out. Hawaiian women often pick or cut the flowerheads of this plant in the forest, as they approach a pool or waterfall for a refreshing summer bath, leave the flowers atop a nearby rock, and then squeeze the sweet juices into their hair and over their bodies when the swim is completed. The sudsy juice is excellent for massage also.  So when I ran into this awapuhi hair mist by Paul Mitchell I really enjoyed it, but I did not know exactly what it was or what was really in it.  My consultant referred it to me, and uses it in her own sisterlocks.  I just love the way it hydrates, refreshes and gives the hair luster.  It's a natural conditioner that won't aid in swelling your sisterlocks.  The use of heavy oils, waxes and conditioners can really cause our locks to swell.  Not to mention, natural swelling that we can't escape between washings and humidity.  This product also contains the natural oil, jojoba.  I was hesitant at first because I want to be careful when using various types of oils.  First  of all I learned that the molecular weight of Jojoba oil is lighter than mostly alI natural oils except coconut.  So it does not cause buildup in the hair.  And adding to the fact it will not buildup, it removes buildup. It has antibacterial benefits that deeply cleanses away dirt, grime, bacteria,& buildup without ever stripping the hair.  It hydrates from the inside of the hair shaft outward while repairing split ends.   Although we don't worry too much about our ends, we do want them closed & locked. Jojoba oil allows the flow of sebum in plugged-up pores. This promotes a healthy scalp and hair by replicating the sebum oil secreted by human sebaceous glands. So it promotes the production of our natural oils! I promise you this product is one you will love.  The dirctions say to spray on hair & skin.  I am telling you it really makes a difference.   Tell me if you like it...

Now as far as my SL's I am so excited.  I have 459 or so sisterlocks.  Not 467 or even 599 but 459, with a 3 pattern.    It took me forever to count them too.  Here's some pics of me at two weeks of loving these sl's. I will post an updated pic from today later on.  Much love for everyone! Stay & be encouraged to Lock On!
