It Wasn't Supposed To Be This Way

I didn't intend for my first blog post to be almost 4 months to the day after I got my Sisterlocks. I was Sisterlocked on Super Bowl Sunday - February 3, 2008, but because in my mind I'm a perfectionist and because the perfect time to start my blog never happened here I am.




During this last year I've been excited and just recently a little dismayed with my Sisterlocks. This journey began in July 0f 2007. It was then that I actively began researching natural hairstyles. I came across Sisterlocks and actually went to Locks4Life and spoke with Paulette. I watched the Sisterlocks video and was given two test locks. I also spoke with several of Paulette's client's who were so positive about what Sisterlocks meant to them. But at the time I wasn't ready, so two months later I decided to cut off all my relaxed hair and do the big chop in September 6, 2007.




I actually like my hair this short. I liked the ease of just covering it at night and uncovering it in the morning but I was also excited to begin my Sisterlock journey.


Just to put everything in perspective here is a pic of me the day before my installation. I had about 3-4 inches of hair. It took Paulette (Karen also did a couple of locs) about 9 hours with a couple of breaks to install my Sisterlocks.




I am still getting my more recent pics together so come back for more pics.
