2.5 Months

I'm in love all over again!!

Okay, there is no doubt that I am in love with my locks however, today I fell in love with my locks on a whole other level. Yesterday I got my hair retightened and right after I went and looked in the mirror was amazed. I never knew that I could love my hair so much. It's sooooo soft. LOL!! I never thought I would ever be able to describe my hair as soft. Never Eva!

I'm curious to know why people decided to lock their hair. I decided to lock my hair mainly as a resistance to the Eurocentric beauty standard. When I was wearing all the hair weaves and perming my hair every month I was really trying to conform to the beauty standard. I thought it was time to live natural and love myself. I would love to hear why others decided.

Two Months Sisterlock'd

I went to a new loctician this month. My old loctician was good but my new loctician is a lot faster which translates into being a lot cheaper. I'm a student so my money needs to stretch. She's really good because the back of my hair kept on slipping with my old loctician and I haven't had any slippage yet.

She also told me to start braiding and banding differently which has helped.
One problem I am having now; my hair seems to be very dry. I have a lot of dandruff that I can't seem to wash out. I don't know what to do!! I've never had a problem with dandruff before. I know I can't use a moisturizer on my hair. Does anyone have advice??

My first month sisterlock'd

My hair is short in the back so towards the end of the month there was major slippage. I'm going to a new loctician in a few days and I'll see what she says.

Otherwise, I am still in love with my hair!!!

Sisterlock's 1 Month

YESSSS!!! I've been sisterlock'd for a month now ;)) I am seriously in love with my hair. My hands are constantly in my hair feeling around just loving the tight curls. I've had my first retightening and I lov'd the results. I knew after that I could never go back to perms and weaves. I HAVE BEEN LIBERATED!!! I love looking at myself all natural. I feel beautiful just looking at me. Nothing added.

I was walking around the hair products aisle the other day (out of habit) all of a sudden I thought I don't need any of this stuff anymore and I instantly became so happy. I used to be that person who would walk out a store with like $50 worth of products. I just smiled and walked away ;)

I'll update with the pics shortly I let one of my friends borrow my cam.
Stay Nappy & Happy

Sisterlocks Installation
