my head is not really that big, really...

...that's just 12 years of sisterlocks under the scarf, give or take a big chop or two over the years. i came home to sisterlocks in january of 1996 with a full head of natural hair which kept my two consultants busy for two days installing my sisterlocks. i have been a blog lurker for a while and finally requested to join the lhbe. i am pleased to have this opportunity to virtually meet other sisters with [name your own]locks and welcome all to my blog.

all the best,

Braidlocs in Africa

Hi everyone. Over the week of July 16 2008, I installed my braidlocs myself. If it wasn't for everyone else's blogs on here, I'd probably have never gone this route. Thank you for inspiring me, and I hope my journey will also inspire someone else who has no choice but to go the DIY route. I started with 1cm of natural hair and a LOT of processed hair whuich I eventually cut off. To all the Bloggers out there, please don't stop blogging, it really helps beginners...and people like me who are addicted to reading!

See you in the blogosphere,

Thandi

Rchgrl's Journey

I's locked now ladies!!!! My babies were born June 24th & 25th. What a day it was. I woke up one morning and said enough is enough. I was going natural. I viewed many sisterlock blogs before that day arrived. Stalked is what my sisters' called it but I had fun doing it and I obtained alot of knowledge and information so thanks ladies for sharing your journey. I knew I wanted locks because my sister had already had them for years and I had watched hers grow into the beautiful state they are in now but I will let her tell her story at happi2bnappi.blogspot.com I'm looking forward to sharing my journey with you guys. Thanks Maryee for allowing me the opportunity.

I woke up one day and fell in love w/ myself. We say we love ourselves, but do you remember the moment you fell in love w/ yourself. For me it was February 2004 in Philadelphia, PA @ about 2:00 in the AM, sitting in a braid shop on South Street. Even though I had "kinky" hair added in to give me the look of nappy twist, that moment when i saw myself...that way... did something to me. From that point I realized I never wanted to chemically treat my hair again. I wanted me in the most natural state. Thus, the journey began. (January 2005)

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 .

Euphoria's Sisterlocks

I am so excited to be apart of this amazing group of people that have decided to be naturally beautiful, I started my sisterlocks journey June 19, 2008 and I am loving every minute of my hair, my only regret is not getting my sisterlocks earlier and educating myself on the different types of locks before settling on traditional locks in the past, which were not for me. I chose the name Euphoria, which means a feeling of well being and that's what my locks do for me, so please check out my blog and feel free to leave comments. http://www.yooforea.blogspot.com/

Penny's Locks

Hello Everybody !!

I am Penny and I have been locked since Jan 08". I started with a relaxer. I am happy about my decision to lock and will never look back. I have known about sister locks since the late 90's and I have gone back and forth with natural hairstyles through the years and about 3 years ago I tried sister locks but it was difficult for me for various reasons.Now I am wiser and more educated and comfortable about the process and the phases and I am no longer apologizing for my hair. It is what it is (fabulous) and I am what I am a beautiful, proud, intelligent,
unapologetically African American woman. :)

Final Installation.....................First Retightening

Hello Everyone,

My sisterlock installation was April 13-14. I am so thankful for the supportive loc family for sharing their journey. That is what inspired me to just do the darn thing. Getting sisterlocks was one of the best decisions I decided for my hair. I am liberated from all the chemicals etc… I created my blog to inspire others who maybe afraid to take the step towards just being natural and locking their hair. If someone told me three years ago that I would be sporting sisterlocks; I would have laughed. I welcome you to join the journey with me. Stop by and say hello!!!

My Microloc Madness...

Thanks for letting me share my two cents. I was real skeptical about my hair after seeing that first pic. I was like eeks I'm bald!!!! Well I was told not to worry and I am happy to say that its all good. I have been microloc'd since March 13, 2008. It took 11 hours. I was beat!!! I was sooo happy when it was over for more than one reason. I love everyone's hair and I especially love mine. Thanks again Maryee for making this possible.

Peace and Many Blessings,

LockedWithPatience is Here!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Chan. I was locked down on Feb. 27, 2008 and I have no regrets about getting Sisterlocks.  I hope to document my journey as my hair grows in length, and then we'll see what happens after I have reached my goal. hehe.

I really love my hair and I am very happy that I believe that I have found a solution to wanting the hair that I want without compromising my natural texture.

Nas Locs...Constant Progression

Hello all,

Naseema here. I was Sisterlocked on Sunday, March 30, 2008. Before that I spent over 8 years natural, however, never sporting my hair in it's natural state. I was a slave to the press and curl and eventually transitioned into weaves. So as my hair remained braided under my sewn-ins, except for the little that was left out for coverage, I discovered its true natural curl and loved it. As I am undergoing a career change, have relocated back to my hometown, and have a new overall outlook on life, I decided that locking would be the perfect compliment for my transition. I hope that you enjoy my journey as I have enjoyed others that are part of this exchange. Check out my Constant Progression.

....and here is my progess as of Jan 2009

My Nappy Journey from Afro’s and Twist – Sisterlock’s

My Nappy Journey from Afro’s and Twist – Sisterlock’s

Hello my fellow Sisterlocker’s, you can call me Tyshea….I joined the SL family on March 2-3 2008 after being continuously nappy for the last 4 years. I started my SL’s with 6inches of dense curly hair…..and so far I am LOVING THE FREEDOM OF MY SISTERLOCKS. I was determined to get my SL’s after finally learning to LOVE and EMBRACE my naturalness. I looked at dozens and dozens of pictures and read so many blogs that I decided to blog my journey as well, so when years have gone by I can see how far I have progressed….and also so I can take lots of picture’s and talk about myself, my kids, and my life…lol!!

Please stop by my blog anytime www.nappty1.blogspot.com to read and get to know me a little more. Don’t hesitate to leave me comments and suggestions to help me along my journey. I’m glad to have joined this wonderful family!!!
