I've been s/locked for 8 months and continually struggle with the look and permanence being for me. I too am trying to maintain them for at least 1 year before I make a decision about how I'll proceed in my hair journey.

It's just a reflection of where we are in our lives. I'm glad you made a choice that was right for you! I love the pic I saw when you did the wash, gel, and go. Too cute! <BR/><BR/>www.lovelyladyluxe.blogspot.comLovely Lady Luxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344333283123416308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267459871403014684.post-75521569205330083192008-08-05T11:52:00.000-07:002008-08-05T11:52:00.000-07:00well, let freedom ring, again!!!!

I am proud of you that you were able to experiment, try something, and then be okay with it not being for you....It is all about learning from all of our experiences.

(I'm always telling my momma that I am sure that I could take my hair down if I really wanted to without having to shave my head... and your story proves it!)<BR/><BR/>Life is wrought with decisions...to take down one's Sisterlocks is one such decision. <BR/><BR/>I am glad you are not upset or seem to feel in anyway that your consultant had misled you... Sisterlocks just turned out NOT to be for you, and sistah that's okay!<BR/><BR/>I wish you contentment...DrWaddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12422456950655962384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267459871403014684.post-68483674637041031172008-08-03T11:22:00.000-07:002008-08-03T11:22:00.000-07:00Congrats!

It's not about what other people think, it's about what you think.<BR/><BR/>Someone made the argument against locking based on having dead hair being locked with hair still growing from the scalp. <BR/><BR/>My counter argument is people pay to have the dead hair of other people weaved in with their own so why not have my dead hair weaved in with my own hair? <BR/><BR/>All hair is dead anyway. The only "live" hair is the hair that is beneath the skin and still growing from the follicle. If the hair was still alive, it would hurt to have it cut.<BR/><BR/>My hair isn't locked. I'm thinking of getting Sisterlocks. I have more reasons to get them than not.Shavonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16014535175209611882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267459871403014684.post-51207548340895686282008-08-02T10:06:00.000-07:002008-08-02T10:06:00.000-07:00I've had my locks for about five or six years now,...I've had my locks for about five or six years now, I think, and I'm still in love. I do remember the early days waiting for my hair lock.<BR/><BR/>As someone who struggled with hair all her life, they have been great for me. I go freestyle, which is really "wash 'n wear" so styling is not an issue for me. <BR/><BR/>I think I've had a roller set once since I've had them. My consultant usually puts in about 5-6 big braids after washing and I put in about 8-10 plaits after I wash. That's it.<BR/><BR/>For the most part, my hair looks good. There are days when I have the frizzies. I have to do re-tighteninngs about every four to five weeks. <BR/><BR/>I wish your sisterlocks journey had been more positive, but then again, not everything is for everybody. Re-tightenings are time-consuming AND costly. I dread going sometimes myself, but now I just sleep through the process. :)<BR/><BR/>Oh, yes, I'll have to show my friend your post because he doesn't see how I could ever take these down. To be honest, I didn't see it either. :)<BR/><BR/>Have a good day. I'll be back to visit.Angela Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02980364011459365249noreply@blogger.com
