Hello, my name is Monica and I've traveled this journey (i.e., Sisterlock) since April 14, 2005. One of the main reasons that I chose Sisterlocks was because it allowed my own hair to do what is was designed to do--lock, while also offering me the capability to style it in the same fashions similar to relaxed hair. There isn't a day that goes by when someone stops and asks me, "Are those braids or locks?" Even when I'm having an off day, that question always makes me smile and reply, "They're Sisterlocks!" Come and experience my journey with me. Go to: http://moniqacamp.blogspot.com/
Though I've been natural my entire life, I have felt
a sense of freedom with my Sisterlocks. Going from
California girl to a Southern woman, the one thing
that remained is the desire to keep my hair natural.
I found Sisterlocks and I saw my dream on the heads
of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.
In January 2006, I entered a sisterhood that has bonded
me with phenomenal women all across the country.
I have had the pleasure of hearing various stories and I
am honored that anyone would be interested in mine.
The encouragement and enlightenment that we have all
brought to the table is definitley the start of a beautiful
liberation/revolution for Black women everywhere.
For now, I am simply living life and loving it.

When I made the decision to get Sisterlocks, I gained the most information and inspiration amongst the blogs on this exchange. I now feel both excited and privileged to be joining it. 
I am ending the year with a collage of my loc styles of 2006...Have a Healthy, Happy, Prosperous New Year.
Grace and Peace to you my fellow sojourners in locdom. I am so happy to be welcomed into the Locked Hair Blog Exchange. My loc journey began almost 10 years ago, it was an instant attraction but a slow acceptance of what was the inevitable. I am loving every day of being locked and can't imagine why I took so long to make the transition. Share with me as I chronicle my journey into the kingdom of natural hair as well as the story of how I became "The Jamerican Loc Diva known as rastagalNJ.

***Update-6-20-07*** I have been locked for almost 11 years now, I started my locs from comb coils that a friend did and have not looked back since. I maintain my locs by washing when I feel the need (sometimes weekly, sometimes longer stretches LOL), and when I do twist, I only finger twist the roots with a mix of honey, olive oil and aloe vera gel. Lately I have been letting them do their own thing, so I haven't retwisted in a few months. I also have stopped using products on my locs except some oil every now and then. My locs seem to be happier without all the stuff I use to put in them.
I am 29, married with a four year old daughter. My official SL bday is 10/16/06... :) Yay me... Since 2001, I have wanted to lock my hair but was afraid because of what my family may think or what people at work may think or do. But I have finally come out of my shell and gotten rid of everyone else's opinions thoughts and have decided to go with what I have always wanted to do (of course I wanted to get my hubby's approval as well as talk to the Lord before I did it. )
Hi everybody!! I had my SLocks installed on October 30th-31st, 2006. I know I've been off the radar for a minute, but I'm back now with a vengeance (and some new photos of my SLocks)! I've been through a lot during these past 3+ years, and would love to share those highs and lows with you.
Hello everyone! I have been in a natural hair cocoon for seven years. I researched Sisterlocks for three long years and I finally took the plunge in October. I am so glad that I did! Like most, I started this blog to chronicle my hair journey. Unexpectedly, I have been so pleased with the support and warm wishes I have received from this community. I have read and re-read so many of the blogs listed here and want to thank Maryee for putting this together!
I have been Sisterlocked for3 years and I love my locs. I wish I had found Sisterlocks years ago. I decided to learn to do Sisterlocks after I had mine installed because there weren't that many people in my area that were certified. I am working on my way to become certified and am trying to spread the Sisterlock love...
Hi All,

Greetings!! I am a newly Sisterlock'ed sister! I thank you all for your inspirational words. Seeing that there are women out there who have truly 'walked in my shoes' has helped make this transition so easy for me! If interested, please visit my blog - Drea's Sisterlock Blog to check on my progress so far. Feel free to post comments! I'm still in the need of guidance in this process, but I know that I'm surrounded by a fantastic support system, so I have no worries!
I celebrated my one year lociversary in January of 2007 and I'm still in love with this journey! I have and continue to learn more and more about myself and my hair. The locking process has been the catalyst to change different aspects of my life and live healthier in general. I have been organizing monthly 'Nappy Gatherings' in the MD/DC/VA area for almost a year now as a means to bring natural and transitioning sisters together for support, encouragement, knowledge, and friendship. I have met some of the most beautiful and positive women through this venture. 
Hello to everyone out there in the natural hair blogosphere!
