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.

Bringing In The New Year With Curls

Day 1



I decided to give my Soft Spikes ( regular size) another try. When I first purchased them, I wasn't too fond of the curls, they were kind of tight. However now that I have a little length I think I like them. I'm still going to get the jumbo size one day but I think I will give these a few more tries before I do.

Day 2 I'm wearing one of my Brunsli Hair Ties
I know you can't really see the curl patttern that great in this picture but it did turn out good.

I set my hair on the Soft Spikes right after I washed them. I also spritz my hair with diluted Lotta Body to help the curls last. Since I wasn't going anywhere I let my Soft Spikes stay in for over 24 hours. I wanted to make sure that they were fully dry, since I don't have hair dryer as of yet. The first day I took them out I wore them as they were, and on the second day I hand combed them out. I am happy with the reuslts. I just wanted to try something new besides free styling all the time. Anyhow I hope everyone had a bleesed New Years, until next time much love.



Day 3 I'm sporting one of my Tomoka's Twists and Earrings

I was excited when I finally got them in the mail. I love them and the earrings, thanks Carmen.


P.S. You know I had to eventually add my rock music into the playlist. This is one of my favorite songs by Cold Play. If you don't like Cold Play something is wrong with you! Lol, I'm just kidding.( Well not really)

Awww, you look great with curls!

Before getting the jumbo size, try twice as much hair per roller for a looser curl. It will take longer to dry though.

Funlayo said...

Looking good!. I love your blog, it's so interactive. Love the music, slide show and all. I could really use your insight on sprucing up one of my business blogs. I'll trade services for products :)

To Eyedinity
Don't know if I told but I think your name is so cool its very unique. I love that song. I can listen to it all day. That song it was I caleed thinking music, it really makes me think, about everything. Anyhow as for the word bomb I don't think people say that word anymore not because you might get arrested but because people just don't say it anymore. Its dated. lol

Take Care Everyone

To AMba
Thanks

To N'Drea
Thank you

My initial goal was to see how long the curls would last.
The culrs lasted for about a week. However due to working out a lot, I had to wash them out early.

QueenLi said...

Looks Nice, Very Nice! Can't wait to get that length.

Take Care~

Your curls came out beautifully and your locks are radiant. I know that you'll be experimenting with even more styles once they grow longer.

Question: Did you experience any thinning with your sisterlocks or before? How did you live with it?
