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.

My Husband's Brotherlocks

This is my J's 3rd set of locks. If you want to be technical it is probably his 5, but the first two sets don't count because he didn't keep them in for more than 2 months, lol.  His first two sets ever were started with comb coils/palm rolling. He has a scalp condition and couldn't deal with the fact of not being able to wash his hair. So thats when the official locking started



The official first set started with braids/plaits. The hair was not parted he just grab and plaited and kept it moving. After about a year he realized that he didn't like, they were two fat and not neat enough for him.

 So last year around April or May I took them down and did them over.





 The 2nd time I tried to part them better and I used the interlocking method using the Nappy Locks Tool. I must say we were both happy with this set. They came out really nice, however due to my pregnancy and getting really sick. I was unable to keep up with the maintenance of his locks and they started looking bad. He we would only show his locks when he first got them retightened. We both were starting to dislike his locks.  However after looking at these photos they dont look as bad.





So after taking the Sisterlocks class I was thinking of starting Brotherlocks on him.(Plus he could be my walking advertisement, lol) It took several conversations and I mean several to talk him into taking his locks down one more time. He was not happy with the idea.  We had multiple taking down locks sessions. This was not a fun experience, he was complaining too much, plus his locks were halfway locked so it made taking them down difficult.




However we did make it through, and finally finished installing his new Brotherlocks, so far he likes them very much, he is in love with the parting they are nice and neat, now he thinks they are a little too small, go figure. I told them they will thicken up, not to worry. We have both agreed that this is the last time for locks, if he wants another set he will be cutting them off and starting over. However I really feel that this is the set for him and that he will be happy with them now and years to come.

I plan on using his locks to practice styles on that I can use for my clients, and myself, lol. However I have seen some nice styles out there that are unisex.

Here is a slideshow of some photos of his install, enjoy.



Until Next Time Much Love

That was ALOT of patience, taking those sets of locks down. But it was worth it :)

Thanks for the nice comments, I was the one that had the patience he surely did not, even though all he had to do was sit. He did take out some but not much, lol.

@ Charizma

Thanks and no problem.
