Greetings Sista's

Greetings My Sisters, and Fellas,
I have joined the ranks of those who are desperately in Love with their Sisterlocks. I begin by giving much thanks to my dear friend, though we have never met, Blaqkofi. You are my inspiration. Thank you so much for all you have contributed to us newbies, as you so carefully and maticulously documented your journey. You are Beautiful inside and out. (Blaqkofi's blog ) I also want to thank my Wonderful Husband, Rafael, for all of his support and Loving Kindness as I embarked upon this new journey of self discovery.

Before Sisterlocks




Sisterlocks are what my soul has longed for, for a very long time. Unfortunately, I knew nothing about them until the summer of 2007. I am so thankful that the knowledge finally came my way . I 'm very particular about my hair and I prefer a style that is somewhat classy, yet easily managed and as little or no chemicals as possible (which is why I love Sisterlocks). Here I am (with my Honey) before the discovery of Sisterlocks.
6 Months Locked
Here are my sisterlocks at 6 months compaired to my locks at 1 month (top photo). I knew to expect the scalp to show in the beginning, however; that didn't last long. I prefer to roll with the perm rods after washing at this stage. The curls last about a week. I Love the curly look. At night I cover them with a silk scarf. You can clearly see just how much the hair thickens between the 1st and 6th months. I Love My Sisterlocks!!!

Our Wedding Day



















5 Months Locked

I Married The Man Of My Dreams. We had a double wedding with my sister-in-law and her love, on the lake. - My locks are 5 months old now. Still just babies. I didn't do anything special to my locks for my wedding. I simply lightly moistened and rolled the night before. The next morning I fingered the curls into place and wrapped the sash that matched my dress. I am loving every step of this journey. It is so very liberating, wholesome and self defining.
