Re: Sister Locks

and this is just my opinion so don't shoot me. but in canada sister locks costs $700 or so to do --my friend is researching because she "fraid fi dread".

if you're gonna spend $700 for a natural look something somewhere is opressing you.

Something was opressing me...my hair

Just figure I would pay the one time price (it was hard coming off the $400), however, it was one of the best $400 I have ever spent. Did not want to dread, I like the neater look of the sista locs.

yes - i did relaxer, jherri curl, fade, afro, braids and then i finally hit the wall and wanted to be my natural self - someone reminded me that braids were just another form of a weave

did the corporate career thing - decided at some point - i wasn't going to be the president, vice president in corporate america - so just be myself - and for my 39th birthday - i dreaded [img]/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

it was nice to be in control of my own hair - no lockticians when i dreaded - but i could wash, twist and maintain my dreads MYSELF, walk in the rain, swim, sweat and just live my life [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

there are no more "bad hair days" and that's a confidence booster in itself

Re: Sister Locks

I too want to come to a point in my life where the weather does not dictate how my hair looks. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]ray:

When its hot & humid - my hair is a frizz ball if I do not have enough heat applied to it along with it being drenched in oil.

When it's cold - it gets dry and sorta dull.

I want to be free.

I've been doing everything I know possible to create a healthy environment for my hair. So far this is what I have been using.

1. Hair, Skin & Nail Vitamins - (GNC brand)
2. Flaxseed Oil Capsules 2x's daily (GNC brand)
3. A vitamin prescribed by a doctor called Folbic which is Folic acid, with Vitamin b-6/b-12
4. Cellfood Liquid Silica - 2x's daily
5. Wild growh Hair Oil applied to my scalp every 3-4 days.
6. Drink carrot juice (several glasses a day)

Now what more can I possibly do?

I hope this all helps me grow back some of the hair I have lost and start with my natural journey leading up to locs!
