My Sisterlocks Debut

Hello all!  My sisterlocks were born last Thursday morning at 2:00 a.m.  After 16 hours of marvelous work done by my consultant, I am officially apart of the network of sisterlocked sistahs.  I must say I love them!!! They are so, "me".  I just wake up, fluff up my hair, and its all set!  The only negative that I've experienced this week is dry itchy scalp, which I hope will go away once my scalp gets used to producing its own oils.  I am willing myself not to put any products in my hair.

Well enough talk! Here are the pics:

ONE MORE WEEK!!!

The countdown begins! Only one more week until my sisterlock installation! I'm excited and nervous! I can't wait to see how it looks.  I promise to post pics as soon as my head is complete!!!

Almost One Year Later... and I'm taking the plunge!

A lot has happened in the last year.  I fell in love.  I fell out of love.  I SWORE I didn't wouldn't get in to a medical school. I was accepted to a top-twenty medical institution.  I was sooo down. I was on cloud nine.  I cut off all my hair, then grew it all out, just to texturize it and cut it off again.  Oh yeah, I had multiple sets of braids, twists, cornrows in between.

BUT GUESS WHAT!?! I set up my installation day on 2/16/11. Its official.  I'm gonna get locked.  But I'm super scared.  I don't know what my hair is going to look like!!  I've been scouring the internet for hours upon hours to find a sisterlocked sistah with my exact hair texture: very very very very (I EMPHASIZE VERY) tightly coiled 4a hair that is very dense... then I realized, no one is going to have the same exact hair like me... only my blood sisters come close. (And pictures can also be so deceiving...) So I guess I'll have to wait two weeks and see :-).

Until then, look at some pics of my nhappy locks until I have more interesting sisterlocked pics to show you:

Right before I texturized my hair in 8/2010.  I actually eventually cut all this off after my texturizer grew out a bit.

 

My hair today!!!  I know its extra deceiving cuz it looks extra shiny.

Actually, this is how I really wear my hair in traditional starter locks cuz I'm too lazy to even comb my hair on a daily basis.
