Jo Thibodeaux, CA I have been considering getting locks.  I started talking to people who had locks. Then, one person said that I maybe should try Sisterlocks.  So, I went to the computer and googled "Sisterlocks" and I am so amazed.  This is for me, this is what I've been waiting for, a natural solution for my hair.  I am so excited and can't wait until I can call someone to make an appointment to have it done.
Today is Sunday, so I have to at least wait until tomorrow to try and contact someone.
Thanks

Hi, I live in the UK and I would like to find a salon that does Sisterlocks.  Please send me info about where I can find a salon in Manchester, England.
Hello Edris.  Please see links on Home Page for our Consultants and Trainees in England.  Also, we will be training there at the end of May.  If there is not yet someone in your area who does Sisterlocks, this is your chance to be trained or to encourage someone local to take our training. (Dr. C)
Maisha Carter, LA Sun, 27 Apr 2008 Hi, I live in Shreveport, LA and there are several beauty shops that do Sisterlocks, but I have noticed that your registry does not have any certified consultants or trainees in this area.  I am looking for somene certified to do my locks as I do not want to travel 3 hrs. to Dallas, or 4 hrs. to Baton Rouge.
Hello Maisha.  Our complete listing of Certified Consultants and Trainees is to be found on this site.  Click on the appropriate links on the Home Page. (Dr. C)
Emmie Spivey, OH Sun, 27 Apr 2008 I've had Sisterlocks installed in February, 2007 and I absolutely love them.  I have not regretted it for one minute.  I started with about 1 inch of natural hair.  For anyone having doubts about what Sisterlocks can do for your hair and your self- esteem, follow my journey at lovinmylocs2@blogspot.com.
Sandra Charlton, Bromley Sun, 27 Apr 2008 I have recently had Sisterlocks and have a problem with white tips from the hair that has shed and has embedded itself in the lock.  It makes the hair look dirty.  Do you have any suggestions on what can be done about this?
Hello Sandra.  It is difficult sometimes to tell from just a description what the actual problem is.  If I've understood what you are describing, the white tips are the damaged ends of the hair strands (not the hair follicle or hair that is shedding) and can be clipped off in a grooming session with your consultant.  Some hair types are prone to this problem, and the tips usually show up in the front area of the head.  Have your consultant call me if they would like some tips on how to handle this.  It is a very manageable situation with regular maintenance. (Dr. C)

Hi,
The locks look good.  Do you know anyone in Greensboro, NC who does Sisterlocks?  I just like the real small locks.
Curline Murray, Canada Thu, 24 Apr 2008 Dear Dr. C - Thank you for your creativeness.  I was locking the old fashion way for the last 9 months then decided to Sisterlock after seeing the results on a co-worker.  Since then, my 23 yr old daughter and I have had our locks done.  We are so impressed and looking forward to years of beautiful, natural hair.  For anyone considering Sisterlocks, don't be put off by the price - the process pays for itself considering no more visits to the salon for chemical straightening and braiding.
Sandra Robinson, OH Wed, 23 Apr 2008 Hi Dr.Cornwell,
Thanks for creating and developing such a dynamic locking method.  Moreover, I am grateful for the sisterhood that you have created for women of African Descent throughout the African Diaspora!  Before attending the Sisterlocks training class in beautiful Toronto, Ontario back in January, I did some research on the Sisterlocks method, I reached out to several consultants/trainees and was well received by all.  I look forward to meeting you someday.  I wish you continued success!  PS:  The consultants/trainees in the Midwest fully embody the essence of Sisterlocks. Special thanks to Pat Hunley, Cincinnati, OH, Paulette Brown, Bloomfield, MI and Elaniece Spicer, Latonia, KY for continuous support.  With love and appreciation. Thelocstar,

Thank you for your kind words and support! (Dr. C)

Kadyra Reddick, FL Mon, 21 Apr 2008 I just recently became a Certified Consultant.  I have had my locks since 2001.  I came to Sisterlocks to help my girlfriend and discovered freedom for myself and my daughter.  She (my girlfriend) was handicapped with cerebral palsy.  She passed away in 2005. Because of Sisterlocks, she felt beautiful.  No matter where she was, she was the center of attention.  I intend to send her story to the Sisterlocks magazine in the near future.  Thank you Dr. C.  I am in Orlando, Fl.  To get in touch with me, drop me a line at kadyra2001@yahoo.com.  Girls, this is the best decision for you hair and life.
Robyn O. Mon, 21 Apr 2008 I can't wait to get a back issue in the mail of the Sisterlocks Journal that I ordered last week.  Even though I have a subscription starting this Spring, '08, I wanted to show some friends/family members the beauty of having Sisterlocks.
Take Care~
Tracie Simmons, FL Sun, 20 Apr 2008 I have been "locked" on your website your the past 3 days, reading and re-reading information about Sisterlocks.  I am almost convinced that this is what I want.  I'm not sure of where I can find someone who is certified to do them in my area.  I'm in the Daytona Beach area if anyone is near me!!!!
A. M., NC Fri, 18 Apr 2008
Hello All,
I wanted to share my experience with the Sisterlocks.  December, 2006, I started the process.  Around the third month is when I really said, "Ok, I am so feeling my hair".  It is one of the best decisions I have made with my hair.  I love wearing my OWN hair and styling it.  It is so low maintenance and manageable.  With working in corporate AMERICA, it definitely works!! I NEVER have to worry about a BAD hair day again!!  I LOVE my Sisterlocks!!!!!
Theresa Connell, IL Thu, 17 Apr 2008 I have been Sisterlocked since 7/7/07 and I am very excited about the upcoming retightening class that will be coming to Chicago in May (17th).  I have been faithfully going to my Certified Consultant.  I am so dismayed to read about the number of perpetraters who are not qualified to install Sisterlocks.  Before getting my Sisterlocks, I asked someone who had them and she referred me to the website.  You Sisters who are interested in them should check the website first before investing your time and money.  This is a huge investment for me and I made a sacrifice to get mine.  My heart goes out to you ladies who had to deal with dishonest people.  It is my hope that after the retightening class, I will be able to do my own retightenings, but if it is too much for me, I will continue my regular visits with my Certified Consultant.  Retightening your own hair is not for everyone.  I hope I can save some money by doing it myself.  Wish me luck.
Still loving my Sisterlocks.

Jeannette Waddy-Taylor, CA Thu, 17 Apr 2008 Actually, I was on a job site when I admired an African-American gentleman's naturally locked hair.  I inquired immediately about where I could find a Salon.  He replied proudly, "SISTERLOCKS", so WELCOME into my life.  I've been waiting for you and will be checking out a local Consultant.  I loved the informative site, and am going forward.  Please keep me updated, I will do the same.
PEACE
Pamela Suggs Imafidon, GA Wed, 16 Apr 2008 My daughter and I have had our Sisterlocks for about 4 months.  We both love our Sisterlocks because we can change our hair styles often!
Monica Campbell, TX Mon, 14 Apr 2008 Today is my 3 year Anniversary/Birthday!  I just wanted to say that I have not once regretted getting Sisterlocks, nor do I ever have any intentions of revisiting relaxers! Read my hair journey on:  http://moniqacamp.blogspot.com.
Thank you so much, Dr. C!  I've never felt as free to express me!

Hi All
Thanks for the good news.  Sisterlocks will be in London in May.  Can you please let me know if I can come and purchase Sisterlocks magazines from the hotel?  I have never found a Sisterlocks magazine in London.
Many Thanks
OK.  We'll bring some back issues of the Journal when we come. Looking forward to our visit! (Dr. C.)

Alibaster Howell, CO Thu, 10 Apr 2008 I have had my Sisterlocks for three years.  I have been nothing but ecstatic ever since.  People stop me and ask me about them all the time.  I have had to start carrying my loctician's cards around.  People who have not seen me in a while marvel at them because of the growth.  I did a lot of research before I discovered the perfect solution for me.  Thank you Sisterlocks!

Ofo Gaddes, UK Sun, 6 Apr 2008 I've had my Sisterlocks just over 2 months after having worn braidlocks for over 2 years.  I was one of those who thought Sisterlocks 'too expensive'.  But 2 yrs down the line, several problems emerged with the traditional locking method.  I painstakingly took down my locs in September and saved the money to have my Sisterlocks installed.  In January, I travelled to Ghana where I was locked by Ama (certified trainee).  I am so happy I finally got them and I only wish I had done this sooner.  From my experience of locs, I can honestly say that for me, the Sisterlocks method of locking has proved superior to my previous method.

Hi,
I just did the BC on 3/14/08 and I love my TWA.  I'm currently looking for a Certified Sisterlocks Consultant or trainee to start my Sisterlocks Journey.  I would like to volunteer as a Live Model in the Charlotte, NC Trainee sessions in October.  If this is at all possible, please let me know.  If not, please let me know how to get in touch with the Certified Sisterlocks Consultants in my area who are not listed. Thanks

re:  Sisterlocks in the work place;
I've had Sisterlocks for 1 yr and can assure you that I've not had one complaint about them.  In fact, most of the positive, unsolicited remarks are from caucasians. They are absolutely intrigued with the locks and ask about the process.  Sisterlocks work well in the corporate world because you can style them to look like a nice neat curly style.  Because of society's continued exposure to natural hair, it seems to be more accepted.  No reports of any problems here in Seattle...I love my Sisterlocks!
Ava Dunn, PA Fri, 4 Apr 2008 I am a 54 year old African American woman who is tired of hair weaves and getting twisties.  I am interested in something more natural.  I am very interested in Sisterlocks but I have no idea where to start, who to talk to or anything.  I would appreciate a response with some direction so I can get started.  I have spent so much money changing my hair because I work in a professional setting and appearance means everything.  Please help.  Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I just see that in September, 2008 Barbados will have a 4-day training, which is fantastic, but there is no registration folder for Barbados, only for London.  If you go to click, you will see London information only; nothing for Barbados.  Please check it out.  I also would like to know if I have to stay in the hotel while I am in Barbados because I have family in Barbados so I would like to find out if it is a must to occupy the hotel room or, I can stay with my family and be on time for the courses. Please let me know because this is my oportunity to complete this course
Hello Rosa.  Stay Tuned!  The additional info for Barbados will be posted very soon. Thanks for your interest. (Dr. C)
CoCo Finn, IL Thu, 3 Apr 2008
Dr. C.,  
Has anyone mentioned that the starter shampoo seems to be excessively drying to the scalp?  I have encountered several who love the locks but complain to high heavens about the starter shampoo.  Additionally, the spray moisturizer is a bit heavy when applied full strength.  Some of us mix with water as it is too expensive to discard.  I am not slamming, just thought you should know.
Hello CoCo.  Thanks for the feedback.  Try diluting the Starter Shampoo as well.  It will still do the job at 1/2 dilution.  The Spray Moisturizer is meant to be used very lightly between shampoos as a freshener.  The Moisture Treatment can be used as the primary moisturizer at every shampooing. (Dr. C)

Sherry R., FL Wed, 2 Apr 2008 I love your website.  It is what I have been looking for.  My last relaxer was in Dec., 2007.  I am trying to go natural and Sisterlocks is for me.
Can I get Sisterlocks with natural and relaxed hair?
Seliesha B. WI Wed, 2 Apr 2008 Hello to all my nappy & happy sisters.  I am not Sisterlocked yet, but have been contemplating strongly.  I haven't relaxed my hair since May, 2007.  I've been wearing braided styles and sew-ins.  I have cut most of the relaxer off of the ends of my hair.  I would like to lock my hair to avoid going back to the "creamy crack". However, I'm not sure how I will react to the initial process.  I understand its a huge committment.  I was wondering if, during the beginning stages, I could wear a wig over my Sisterlocks; not everyday, but just to church and on days where I have court appearances for work.  Please advise.  Thank you.
I wouldn't!  (Personally, I've never seen a wig that looks as good as our own natural hair.) My suggestion is that you wait until you're truly ready for the transition.  Then get a proper Sisterlocks conaultation where your consultant installs 8-12 or so test locks in a cluster so that you can actually see what your hair is going to look like.  Good luck to you! (Dr. C)
Catherine Quintero, IL Tue, 1 Apr 2008 I actually took my locks out with conditioner and a precise pen!  I know it sounds crazy, but I started playing with the tips and now I have fully taken them out, and I am considering Sisterlocks.  I have to cut only a small amount of my hair, the locks that were dyed blond lost the most hair, but I want to tell you all that it is possible.
"Adorable One" Tue, 1 Apr 2008 I made an appointment to get my Sisterlocks in one week.  I am having some concerns about my scalp being dry and not being able to use any form of conditioner on it.  I'm also concerned about the cost of maintaining Sisterlocks. $500 is a lot of money for locks.
Lynn Foster, NC Tue, 1 Apr 2008
Dr. C.,
I've gotten some lint in my Sisterlocks....Any suggestions on getting it out...or should I cover it with a dye/rinse?
Thanks for any suggestions.
...Still enjoying my locks
No other way but to carefully pick it out - then take care not to use fluffy towels or wear fuzzy sweaters, etc.  Daily "lint checks" by loved oned is also a good preventive measure. (Dr. C)
