In June 2008, I decided to finally end the lifelong love-hate relationship I had with my hair and get locked up. Just as the blogs of others inspired me, I hope my blog encourages others to fall in love with themselves...and become luvlockd with their own naptural hair!

Sisterlocks to Braidlocks

I have been natural since 11-06. I was Sisterlocked on 7/13 and  7/14/07 maintained them with Nappylocks tool, took my Step-Sisterlocks down in 11-07 and redid my whole head with Braidlocks on 12-5-07. Being a firm believer in Do It Yourself (DIY), I felt I made the right decision with taking my Sisterlocks down I don’t regret a thing, not even the amount of money I spent to get My Sisterlocks done.

A New Journey

Greetings, I have been natural for 4 years and loved every minute of it. I had braids for a long time and then one day, BAM I went to church sporting a Fro. At the time, I never thought I could be a loc wearer because I kept thinking "If I decide I don't like them anymore, I will have to cut off all my hair". The mere thought of that was more than I could bear. I started locking my two oldest sons hair in March '08 and my younest son's hair in August '08. Still, I never thought I could be a loc wearer - but then I started to give it more thought and the more I thought about it, researched different methods, lurked through different blogs and worked on my sons locs, the more I started to long for them myself. After overcoming some huge fears in '08 - I decided to end the year jumping an even bigger hurdle - jumping into the land of LOCS. I gave birth on December 20th to 435 braidlocs. The best thing about them is, I did them all myself. Yippee for ME. LOL!! It was a lot of work but well worth it. I've been asked if they are sisterlocs which is quite a compliment because Sisterlocs are truly beautiful but, I would never spend that much money on my hair (don't mean anybody any harm, that's just my opinion). So, check me out , http://afrolady-theupperroom.blogspot.com/ because I will certainly be checkin' you out (wink!) don't forget to leave me some positive vibes!!

Peace Lovies!!

Brownsuga Here!

Hello everyone! My braidlocs were born after three days of labor but joyfully were welcomed here on March 6th, 2008. I haven't looked back since. I'm embracing my locs...my individual locs....they make me feel so natural! I'ts all me!!!! Nothing added and nothing taken away. Let me tell ya the process wasn't easy but it was worth it, being that I did the braiding myself. If you haven't guessed already, I'm a DIYer. I also maintain them myself by latch-hooking. Feel free to walk with me on this journey by visiting my blog http://mylocsjourney.blogspot.com .

Hannah Ranay's: A Natural Hair Retreat

Hi Everybody,

I'm Hannah Ranay and I locked September 10, 2007. Over a period of three days I installed microbraidlocs with about four inches of hair. I also maintain my hair.

Come visit me at http://www.hannahranay.blogspot.com. Be sure to leave comments.

I seek to share my experience to help educate, encourage and inspire those who are on the journey and for those who seeking to overcome their fear and take this wonderful leap into Lockdom. I'm honored to be apart of the LHBE. THANKS MARYEE!

Stay Nappy, Happy and Blessed!

Locz For Life

Greetings!

After months of lurking blogs about sisterlocks and pondering the best method for me to start my new set of locks, I have finally started my journey and my own blog. Although I fell in luv with sisterlocks, I decided to do them myself with braidlocz (after seeing a few other journies here). My braidlocz journey began 5-3-07. Feel free to stop by and follow the journey of a sister with fine/thin napps while I go from braids to locs!
