Hi You
Welcome to my blog.
This is my first time of doing this madness so pls be patient with me. Anyway, i became inspired to do this when i decided to research the words 'dreads' and 'sisterlocks' as i needed a change from the mundane hairstyle that i have gotten used to.
My hair has been natural for the past 12 years and i have always worn it short..DAMN it looked good but now its time for a c
hange...well i think so!!!!
Since giving birth to my son i feel that i now need to look more yummy rather than a street hustler!!. I'm not saying that short hair on a woman makes you look like a haggler but it did on me sometimes.... (well more like a crack head, and i've got the pics to prove it).
Bwoy i knew i had a big forehead but this photo caught all its glory (i'm sure a likkle length cant be too bad can it????)
Its time for the yummy mummy stage of my life.
My next move after the short hair was the WEAVE.
Now, i'm a weave virgin and only had it put it for my sons' naming ceremony and trust me i pulled that bitch out the next day. Ladies, how do you do it, summer, winter, spring, autumn i see these sisters rocking these big ol tings on their head, some look good but many don't... tracks on show, thred dangling down and all dat plus..... WE all know they aint real...and i'm too real to be so fake, ( or maybe i'm just jealous that they itch the hell outta my scalp, make me sweat like i'm in J.A and are too damn tight...who needs a face lift....get a weave)
It covered up that piece of forehead though....right?
Next came the twists, now i put these babies in myself as i am of creative mind i am of creative hands. I am the black girl who the girls came too every week to get their hair did, whether it be extensions, weaves, perm (relaxed or curly) ,trim etc. So when i cant be bothered to find someone to do it i do it for myself. These took 2 days to do in between nappy changes, feeding, times, bath times, putting him to sleep time and my time.
People thought it looked good. What do u reckon??
Any ho i opted for the sisterlock option and have gone for the 1st consultation. Sabrina was really great, she sat me down as soon as i walked in , showed me the sisterlock video...
... 'WORD TO THE WISE' Make sure you do your research before you have to watch that video! Look at images of sisterlocks on all sites that you can find... The video is from the early 90's and the styles and the people representing the styles are all of the more mature genre, if you are young and trendy then this vid can really put you off...it's just out of date. Before i blinked my eye good she was finished, 8 sample locks.
A sample loc is kinda fine...note to self, it will thicken.......patience girl........PATIENCE!!

Wow it went real quick and so we made our lock installation date for 4 weeks from there. Roll on 25/26 July. Did i mention that Sabrina is a trainee consultant, i tried to find a certified consultant but half of them aint doing it no more and the other half have queues as long as my body length so i opted for what turned out to be the cheaper verson, £350 certified, £250 trainee and as my hair length varies between 4"- 6" its £275. After the first wash about 4 sample locks disappered from my hair.... ( so we wont be using that pattern will we!!) I've still got a couple of weeks to go and i look forward to popping up from time to time and sharing my progress with you. We all know what dreads are but if u wanna know what the beauty in sisterlocks are check out there official site and research it from there. U won't be disappointed.http://www.sisterlocks.com/
