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.

Happy Birthday To Me & My New Do


Yesterday was my birthday! I turned one year younger! I look like it but too bad I don't feel like it. Don't worry I'm working on that!

I decided to keep my locks for now, despite my imperfections, some of those were caused on my behalf and some I had no control over. I have a feeling that if I do start over, I will regret it later. So I'll keep the good with the bad! I styled my hair with a side pony tail and 4 flat twists. Not sure why I chose this style, guess I wanted to feel young again lol. Anyhow I love it!

I styled my hair right after I retightened and washed it.


I loved the ponytail with the straight locks, but I decided to jazz it up with some curls! I used Soft Spike Curlers. I let my hair air dry. My locks was still slightly damp when I took them out the next night, but the curls came out great!



This year I promised myself that I would style my hair more often. I just hope I keep my word. I know it will be very hot this summer. So I plan to try alot of updo's and ponytails. (ahh that feels good to say, never had a ponytail in my permed life, unless it was fake, lol). Plus I plan on getting back on track, with my dieting, and running. So the hair must be out of my way!

My exercise/running blog is back up & running. FYI for those who are looking for inspiration buddies and encouragement. Also if there are any of you locked Sisters that have a weight loss or exercise blog, let me know I need the encouragement and inspiration as well! You can find my blog HERE
Also it will always be linked to the left sidebar of my blog.



I had a great birthday! I went skating and had a blast! I would go skating twice a week every week if I could! That was my jumpstart to get back into exercising, but then I ruined it with my birthday cake. It was strawberry shortcake. What's a birthday with no cake?

Starting Over?

Ok so I have been having thoughts in my head that I want to start my Sisterlocks over AGAIN. For some reason I go through this EVERY year! I wish these feelings would go away for good!



I admit I get lock envy every time I see a head full of gorgeous locks. So what's my problem you ask. I have a lot of imperfections in my locks that nobody else notices but me. Go figure. I was hoping that it didn't happen but I think I'm starting to lose some hair due to the baby. I know its temporary but it's getting on my nerves. 51 percent of me wants to start over while 49 percent of me can't see myself cutting my hair after its gotten so long. This is the longest my hair has ever been in LIFE! So its a big deal for me. I know it will always grow back. My other alternative is to grow out my imperfections and then cut, because there is nothing wrong with my parting. So which route do I plan to take? I'm still not sure. Maybe I should weigh out the pro's and con's. I'm going to continue to try to talk myself out of this and love my locks the way they are.



Oh yeah, I'm almost finished retightening my hair. I plan to style it in a way that I have never done before. So stay tuned for pictures.



Until next time much love.

First Installation

I'm proud to complete my first set of Sisterlocks. I scheduled the install over 3 days, thank God because we needed it. It took 24 hours and some change to complete. This client had 5-7 inches of hair all over. She wanted larger Sisterlocks. She is extremely happy with the results.



I'm happy with the outcome for my first install, however there is always room for improvement. I have another consultation coming up, we shall see if this will make client #2. Wish me luck.

Open for Business


Well I finally got a chance to rearranging one of my rooms for my new adventure.... doing hair. I transformed my living room. It wasn't being used anyhow. We mostly use the family room. Why do they make two living room spaces anyhow? it's just a waist of space. Anyhow it still needs a bit more work, I definitely need a book shelf with some decorations,maybe a water feature. Anyhow all that matters is that I have a chair, my tools, and my ability to do Sisterlocks™. I'll post a picture later on when I have the finished product. Take Care

It's Official: Meet Your Newly Trained Sisterlocks™ Trainee


So after years of debating if I should take the Sisterlocks™ Training Class, I finally took the plunge and so glad I did. My only regret was that I should have taken it sooner!

As an added bonus the originator of Sisterlocks™ Dr. JoAnne Cornwell herself was there along with the fabulous Roxanne Ray to teach the class. It was an honor and great surprise to have them both. I was not expecting Dr. Cornwell to be there, she's like a celebrity, lol. However when I met her she was the complete opposite of how some celebrities act. She was so laid back and so down to earth, a great pleasure to work with.

I'm so glad I took the class. I have learned so much, I have a new found respect for Trainee's and Consultant's. I met so many lovely ladies and their beautiful locks. In fact one of my long lost friend was in the class, we went to the same high school and college. Overall it was a great experience.



I finally decided to take this class because lately I have been enjoying my hair freedom with going natural and being Sisterlocked. This is the healthiest and longest my hair has ever been, and I'm so grateful. I want to give women and men that same freedom!

As I prepare myself for this new journey to become a consultant. I have two clients awaiting to get their Sisterlocks™. They are both excited and I'm excited for them. I'm thinking of a business name and currently working on my new website. I will post my new website once I have pictures.

More Pictures:


Anyhow just wanted to share my excitement.

Thanks BlaqKofi for all the encouragement and advice.

Until Next Time Much Love
