Cj the most beautiful black fellow in the city of vegas said he liked my hair ( i was so hype) a japanese lady told me it looks cute. Chrissy said it was absolutely beautiful. A white boy at my job said i look like Macy Gray( how i dont kno) and another one told me it looks like I got worms coming out of my head. Wat a diffrence perception makes. i am however still in love wit my hair and there is not a mirror or anything that shows a reflection that i can pass without glancing at myself. sisterlocks has made me concieted.

I am SISTERLOCKED!!!!!!! hear me ROAR

2006-06-11T17:10:00.000-07:00

yeah man i got my locks done today from my wonderful consultant Lora...i didnt get the reaction that i wanted (omg ur hair is so cute. or anything of that nature...etc) instead no one is commenting taking that as a silent dislike.cause you kno if u get your hair done and people like it someone would say "hey thats cute..like your hair." but i day good stay silent cause i love my hair. and im going to from this stage to my locs are old and mature. and dont get on my dick then if you aint like em from the begging. luckily i have my bestest buddy P and my consultant for support.

Hair Raising Questions

2006-06-04T22:34:00.000-07:00

OKAY...so friday i went to the library and picked up two hair books. Dreads by Francesco Mastalia and Alfonse Pagano--a collection of photos of various dread heads and the meaning behind their locks. I read this book once before and ordered it off the net today, its a real good read, awesome pics. And Hair Story by Ayana D. Byrd...untangaling the roots of black hair in america.the book in which I had question for. In all the books I read including this one it always says that back in slavery times light skinned slaves with long wavy/curly/straight hair were more favorable than the slaves who had dark skin and short nappy hair. I am a mixed person...german, black, and native american...I have fair skin, green eyes and blonde NAPPY COARSE hair. I have a nephew who is very dark but has the fullest head of silky black curls. Where would we fit in???

Consultation Day!!!

2006-05-27T22:57:00.000-07:00

So color me excited...I woke up at 6:00 and my appt. wasent until 2:00! so i drove around aimless looking in shops to occupy time instead of pacing the floors of my house. anyway when I got there my consultant Lora was finshing retightening another client. I was staring and asking questions. And the lady let me feel her hair! the first time i felt sisterlocks. they were absolutely gorgeous. I watched two obviously outdated Dr.Cornwell videos that were sorta redundent of all the things I already knew about sisterlocks..but none the less even this excited me. We discussed my previous hairstyles and anymore questions I had. Then she unvaled my Thick sandy blond au natural mane of hair and then put it my test locks. I set my appt for June 10th and 11th. 8:30 sharp. i got soooo much hair on my head its definetly gonna take the 2 days. I cant wait.....

while researching sisterlocks i came across blogspots and got alot of good information from the many beautiful ladies who blog on a regular basis. so now thats i have set the date for my consultation and first locking session i thought it time for me to start my own blog. Ive "gone" natural two times in my life...the first i submitted back to the perm. By request of my then boyfriend who was a rastafarian with the most beautiful freeform dreads i have ever seen. Ive been growing my hair naturally via the big chop since feburary 05. I have wanted dreadlocks since the 10th grade of high school. But after 3 failed attempts and the instant sucess of my best friends dreads I gave up. Then during research on dreads I came across sisterlocks..and was flip flopping for months. I finally decided on sisterlocks, met a friend of mom's who had them, who turned out to be a consultant... and now im on the road to natural freedom....this saturday is my consultation session. i cant wait!
