6 Wks Sisterlocked and first ACV Wash

My babies are changing so I thought I would do a quick update.  I just did an ACV wash and my scalp is thanking me.  It feels so good!




I watched the following video to learn how to make the mix but in the end...I did not really measure.  I used one part ACV to two parts water.  I felt my hair needed something strong yesterday.



I found plenty of helpful videos on Youtube, just search ACV Wash

Six Flags Denies Jobs to 2 Women Based on Natural Hair



Really????  First of all, Six Flags needs to learn a little more about natural hair.  Natural hair is not a style but a way of life and they are treating it like it is an option.  I am only glad to know they do not list "afro" in their policy of undesirable hair as that is how my hair naturally grows out of my head.  I am not even sure Six Flags knows or cares that there are many different types of Locks in today's world and they are not going to be able to get away calling every locked style Dreadlocks.  Are they going to tell all locked wearers our hair is unprofessional? Personally I believe these practices have the potential to become discriminatory if not already. 

Please review the story linked below and tell me what you think.

First Re-Tighten Session

It's official.  Well I will officially be one month on the 24th but I just had my first re-tightening session.  I can already see a difference in my locks. 


These were taken before my session.

These were taken after.

Sisterlock Doll



Have you ever wanted to make a keepsake of your locks if you ever decide to cut or trim them.  I am new to this world so this is a loooooooooooooooooooong way off for me.  Right now I want mine to keep growing, growing and growing.  However when I went in for my first tightening session my consultant showed me the doll.  One of her clients cut her hair and decided to give this doll Sisterlocks!

Day to Night

I have been Sisterlocked for almost three weeks and just love them.  I get so many compliments, love the fact people like actually like my REAL hair and I am no longer hiding behind some weave.

This weekend was really busy. I had events in the day and night so I wanted to see how it would be to transform my look.  I have posted a few pictures to show the transformation.

I was hoping for a sunny day as I had planned to wear a cute spring dress to my friend's baby shower but it was rainy and cold instead so I opted for a jacket.  This picture shows my afternoon look.  I am wearing a side part and my hair is tucked behind my ear on the other side.
After the shower I had to get ready for a night on the town with the girls.  It was time for a birthday celebration.  I found the perfect little headband to match my shirt.  I think I may be going on a little shopping trip to find other hair accessories to glam it up.









Thanks for visiting.

Week 1!

I have officially been Sisterlocked for one week and loving it!  I just bundled and washed my hair today. 

This is my hair all bundled and ready to wash.  
I used the Sisterlock Starter Shampoo as my locks are still baby locks.  I did lose one rubber band in the process but otherwise things went very well.

After washing I bunched some of my hair and formed two strand twists like I used to do just to see how it would look. It turned out a a little more crinkly but no real difference for now.  I can't wait until it starts growing but I know it is a journey and I am enjoying it.  I still can't believe how little time I spend on my hair before having to go somewhere.
