Sisterlocks....ALMOST THERE!!!- The consultation

OK i've been quite busy since my last post!!! Sadly to say i am NOT installed as i had planned. I mistakenly miscalculated my hair length in the back *uuuggghhh*....i was measuring my sides and front to determine if i had the 1.5 inches....lucky for me i only need half an inch to be installed....so here is the story of my consultation....


So i drive to ATL to meet with my wonderful consultant Taiysha Brown http://www.medialinkx.com/sisterlocks//  when i say she is WONDERFUL AND PROFESSIONAL..oh em gee....so either way...i go thru the process of talking and questions/answers, watching videos, etc...then she tells me that i'm short half an inch in the back area....can we say HEARTBREAK HOTEL....lol


So she installs 4 test locks...i decided on the small size which would be close to 600 locks when fully installed according to her...here are pics
4 small size Sisterlocks

My hair curled at the end...and even stayed in after i washed it

Sorry kinda fuzzy but here they are "streched up"

Last view of my tester babies!!


So i rescheduled a new install date for Oct 1-2, 2010...and decided if i DON'T have the half inch needed then i'd need to push it back again.....you know i really want that half inch!!!...i left my consultant disappointed, but encouraged knowing that i'm still making a good decision and i'm still gonna be locked soon. She pointed out that some ppl would have installed me with my current length, but i would have problems when it came time to washing and the locks unraveling with time/manipulation...I appreciated her professional opinion and integrity for not trying to scam me! LOL

Soooooooo....i left renewed and decided that i'll just get my hair braided to pass the time, help with the needed growth and to just get something different...i knew at this point i would have to explain to everyone when i got back home why i didnt return with SISTERLOCKS....lol....so i went to one of the many African Braid Shops and got some small sized kinky twists....pic below:

Sooo i apologize for not having the finished product....in 6 weeks i'll be MORE THAN READY! I'm claiming it LOL....but the journey continues and i won't be led astray...I'm embracing the new change that starts in October...so many things in my life will be different and finalized and SL's would be just the thing i need to make everything concrete!....Be Blessed!

  1. I like the kinky twists. They are such a good way to transition.

  2. hello,

    Your locks are truly beautiful I was wondering if you could help me. I have a blog and I would like to add music up on it but I don't know how. I was wondering if you could maybe give me some directions on what to do to put music on my page.
