Hello my name is Valencia but you can call me V. After years of damaging my hair, I knew there had to be a better way. So I decided to take the path to go natual and lock up. I was Sisterlcoked from June 2006 until Sept 2010 (4yrs). In which during that time I truly enjoyed my hair freedom. Unfortunately my journey had to come to end due to post partum hair loss. I have recently started a new journey this past September, and looking forward to all the ups and downs. As a new Sisterlocks™ Consultant I want to give women and men that same freedom.

9 Month Mark! & Hair Update!




Hey to all my Sista's & Brotha's out there I hope all is well. I know its been a minute since I've blogged. I have been so very busy. I haven't been on in a while and it feels like I've missed out on so much! Anyhow it is now 9 months for me it's hard to believe because it feels like only yesterday since I got my Sisterlocks installed for the first time! Having Sisterlocks is such a wonderful feeling. I feel free. There is nothing like waking up in the morning and not have to worry about doing your hair. Having Sisterlocks saves so much time that you can spend on other things. I have learned so much during this journey and the most important thing I've learned was patience! About a week or two ago I had my hair retightened and my consultant updated me about my hair. Basically everything is cool I just have to be more patient because its taking my hair a little longer than I had planned to lock! I can honestly say that I think I have about 2 or 3 locks that are fully locked! Maybe more but I know that its not more than 10! lol. I still have to braid and band alot of my ends are still not sealed! However I have graduated from the Starter Shampoo to the Salon Shampoo Aloe Formula. I was happy to hear that! I found out that my hair is alot softer than what I thought which was the total opposite very hard! Lol, My consultant told me what the deal was. It feels good to know that I have soft hair, I guess that explains why my hair is taking a long time to lock. She also informed me that the Aloe Formula was better for me because the Green Tea formula would make my hair too soft which is not what I need right now. My consultant did say that it would kind of be hard for my hair to come out right now which is good to hear! So right now all is well with my hair and I'm loving every minute of it!






I plan to take the retigthening class down here next month. I'm really excited about it. (I know Lashunae said she was thinking about taking the class too, so Lashunae if your still on I look forward to meeting you. Anyways I have to admit I was afraid to tell my consultant at first because I wasn't sure how she would take it. She took it pretty good and I'm glad that she didn't get offended or upset in fact she said that I should go that if I went it would be a good experience and I would learn many things.

My favorite hair style right now is me setting my hair on hard rollers. My hair comes out so soft with large curls and my locks have alot of bounce and body now which is great! I can't keep my hands out of my hair and sometimes I can't stop myself from swinging my head just so I can feel my locks moving back and forth!lol (I've noticed that my hair has gotten longer which is another great feeling. I have yet to measure it yet). Anyhow for those who look at my fotki. I'm in the process right now of getting that together. I will blog again when I'm finally finished and you let you all have a look at the updates!


Also just a small update I'm loving my new house right now it's wonderful(I have my own closet!)It's a whole lot more cleaning but it's worth it. Another small update on my weight loss so far I have lost 8.6 pounds in 1 month it was 10 but then i gained a pound in a half at the last minute but 8 is still good. Anyhow I must go now and try to catch up on every one's blog you all have a good one and until next time much love!

I too have been so busy and haven't had time to read blogs. It's good to hear from you and see you lookin' soooo fly! Gurl da locks are slammin'! I can see that you know it and feel it by those funky fresh poses. Your 9 month update sounds EXACTLY like mine. I couldn't believe how soft my "hard" hair had become. Sometimes (and I still do this) I'll just fling my head just to feel my locks against the back of my neck. I banded and braided for 12 months, so don't feel badly or discouraged. As I've often said, our locks are all individual. They'll lock when they are supposed to. Actually IMHO, banding and braiding helped my locks to stay uniform and neat. And finally, congrats on the new home. I guess that means you're not moving to Texas :-) Stay so fly gurl! Your fan, Blaq

Congrats on your new home and your 9th month. Time sure is a flyin. I can remember when you stopped by and congratulated me on my 9th month and now I'm at the 1 year mark. Jus watch, you'll blink and it will be your 1 year lokaversary. And, finally, if it's any consolation, I'm not 100% locked all over my head either but that's ok. Stay blessed.
