My fotki catalogues the journey of the trials & tribulations with my weight and Sisterlocks. I've always had thick full hair never really knowing what to do with it. I was permed most of my life requiring (2) two super-strength perms worked through separately to maintain the press n' curl look. I grew tired of the maintenance involved and my hair relentless determination to kink. I started getting microbraids $150 every two months and sitting from anywhere between 6-8 hours for installation. I knew I wanted to loc but at first didn't have the courage and didn't know what type of locs I wanted, fearful that I wouldn't be able to pull it off!

I started researching locs and going natural. That was the biggest challenge of them all - going natural! So often people say it like it's so simple but when your hair is thick, full and loves moisture - it requires so creative mauveuring. Well needless to say during my transition from perms, I did microbraids. Finally, I was drawing near to making a decision. I stopped a few people on the street after admiring their locs. The men took such pride in their locs! Oh I was in love, I wanted that look for myself. Sisterlocks it was!!

I went in for my consultation, a test loc was put in. This was to determine a couple of things, if my hair texture wasn't too processed, cost of installation and the type of curl pattern I would require. I came back in a few days and thought something would happen overnight. Showing the loc to family and friends like it would sprout new wings in my hair. Installation of my sisterlocks was over the course of (2) two days - 9 hours the first day and 5 the next. Check out my albums and share in my journey. You'll be surprised at the ever-evolving results!!
