And the Journey Begins

I decided last fall that I just couldn't put one more perm on my head. Even though I am extremely tender-headed with a rather tight kink, I knew I had to find a way to get past the pain of new growth. Because I am a mother to my beautiful daughter Joy and I need to set an example for her. Talking with a friend of mine in November about having no idea what I was going to do with my hair, she suggested Sisterlocks(tm). She had them and explained what they were and how she loved hers. I spent the holidays reading everything I could about them and discovering youtube. When I went back to work after the holidays, I found out 3 of my co-workers had them and questioned them extensively. This has been an amazing journey so far. I forgot how much I loved my afro growing up. I also forgot how thick my hair is when not fried by chemicals. I am more than ready to embrace my natural hair and hopefully instill this love in my daughter as well.



I have picked my consultant and had test locks installed on February 9th. I will have my hair completely locked beginning on March 29th. I think this is going to be the longest month of my life. I would like to thank everyone who has blogged or put information out there. I am not computer saavy so I do not know how to post comments. I hope this blog gets done correctly and this weekend when my nephew comes, I will learn how to add pictures.
