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?

Until Next Time Much Love

Happy belated Birthday!

Since I'm too lazy to maintain two blogs my blog has kind of evolved into a health, fitness, hair, and life blog. You still have the link to my old blog on your running page. Anyhoo... I'm excited that you're starting your running again. We need to make a date to run a race together :)
