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.

Sisterlocks @ 1 Month

I'm so in love with my Sisterlocks.

The Lighting is a little off but you can tell I'm happy!


I thought getting them back would never happen.

Not much has changed in a month. Except for that some of my locks have already begun to swell and I have lots of curly q's. However the locks in the front haven't budged and they probably wont until some months from now. It took my hair to completely lock in 2 yrs. I sure hope this is not the case this time around, but whatever it maybe it doesn't matter. I'm all smiles overhere.

The only issues I have is my scalp. My dandruff has come back to haunt me :(
My scalp is really dry and flakes just keep reproducing like crazy. I might have to give in and start oiling my scalp because I cant stand the itch or the look, its not a good one.



Sisterlocks @ 1 Month


I really haven't been doing much to my hair. I went a whole month without washing my hair, because I wanted to prevent my shorter locks from coming out. It did help but when I washed it before my 1st retightening majority of them slipped anyway. Every other day I spritz my hair with water only and maybe 2-3 times a week I spritz my hair with a rosemary/tea tree essential oil and water mixture.


Sisterlock Starter Shampoo: Really can't give a review because I only used it once. I do love the way it smells, and I noticed that it relieved the itching after I washed my hair. However I do notice that it is a lil drying. I will continue to use it because I know it will help aid in the locking progress.

Styling: As far as styling I haven't been doing much of that. The most I've done was set my hair on rollers once or twice. I also use flowers and headbands, flowers more than headbands, I don't want to put too much pressure on my already weak edges. They are a must in the beginning. Other than that I just keep things simple. Hoping my locks will locks sooner than later, but I know I really have no control over that.

You can see the dry scalp around my hairline...


Quantity vs Quality: I did get a chance to count my locks. I have close to 400 give or take. Not really stuck on the number more focused on the quality. I'll be glad when my locks fill in... Sisterlocks works wonders for people with thin hair and I'm so greatful!


Flowers are my favorite hair accessories!
  

Anyhow I will keep you all posted on my journey.....It feels good to be back



Until Next Time Much Love
