Pre Sisterlocks

Having spent most of January 2009 researching Sisterlocks I decided that it was the way forward for me. In the past I had done most things with my hair from a curly perm in my early twenties to relaxing for years to experimenting with hair extentions, braiding and twists since 2001 and finally deciding to go natural in 2005. I was tired of loving my hair in twists or cane row extensions but not happy that it wasn't my hair. Sisterlocks seems to give me the answer I need. The same look of extensions but with my own natural hair. On Sunday 8th February I decided to take the plunge and have a consultation with Wavenie, a trainee consultant who goes to my church. I was so convinced that I asked her to go ahead with some testers and now I have 10 locks in my head, 5 above each ear. They seem so wayward but I've tamed them by adding them to my natural afro pony that I've been wearing eversince. I have put my little testers through their paces as I went off to Barbados for just over a week a few days after. I so wished I had my whole head done for that holiday but it was not possible. So now its the day before I get the rest done and I'm excited but nervous at the same time. My hair is different textures and different lengths and I am a bit concerned how the shorter back will look. It doesn't help that I am still jet-lagged but I just want my sisterlocks now and I can't wait anymore. Tomorrow I will post pictures of me with half of my hair done and let you know how I feel.
