PictureWhat do I do with it?
 First of all, I want to tip a lock to every person out there doing Sisterlocks. Being a Consultant takes a special person with a heart for people.  I tip another lock to Sisterlocks' wearers.  These are the soldiers who were looking for something, anything to answer their hair care woes.  After battling the “what do I do with it” question for years, the real question usually comes down to:  What do Black women want when they think about their hair?  

It usually boils down to the desire to stop looking at our hair as a source of bewilderment, something to figure out…to be dealt with.  At the end of the day, we just want peace!

​
If I were to poll Sisterlocks Consultants across the globe, I believe many of them would say the common declaration shared by their potential clients is that they say, “I’m tired!  Just plain tired and I don’t want to run from my hair, anymore.”  That’s the common theme.  That fatigue has usually been caused by years of trying to “fix” their hair and the issues that accompanied the “fix.”

Picture
Just a little peace!
There have been an abundance of fixes, over the years.  She’s heat straightened it, only to discover that repeated straightening can cause long term damage including burns (ear, neck, scalp, etc.), split ends and breakage.  Plus, this style often required sleeping with your head hanging out of the bed and avoiding perspiration just to preserve the “style.”  

Out of sheer frustration, many move over to chemical straightening because that process will last longer and will be more convenient.  Then she learns the dreaded term:  “over processed.”  This tiny little side effect of chemical straightening  can have irreparable consequences, sometimes resulting in an unplanned hair cut  - “the big chop” because she could no longer wear the lie - lye! 

So, she braids it to cover up the damage and to also buy some time before doing the inevitable big chop.  Then there are hats, scarves and protective styles.  The endless attempts to deal with her hair.
Picture
As fate would have it, one day while in the mall, grocery store, park or the library, she meets someone who has Sisterlocks and O.M.G. - the bells of freedom ring, the heavens open up and voila!  She’s discovered the next best step.  Sisterlocks!

Of course, once she’s in the Sisterlocks family she discovers that it’s not just about her hairstyle.  Her life changes.  She finds peace and serenity (usually, after the settling in phase of her locks :-).  She's dancing like nobody's watching, swimming, she's on time for appointments.  She's loving life and her Sisterlocks!

She also becomes an ambassador for Sisterlocks.  Spreading the word, alerting others that there really is a better way.  Many of these ambassadors become, you guessed it, Consultants.  They know what it means to yearn for hair care peace.  They develop a heart for people!  And they do it all while maintaining their peace!

Did I know this would be the result when I started Sisterlocks?  No!  What I did know was how Sisterlocks made me feel and I knew I had to share it.  Today, I'm just happy to see so many of my sisters and brothers reaping the benefits, too!  Are you reaping the benefits?  Have you experienced peace of mind?  Comment below and let me know.  Peace!

Welcome to the family, Linda! Here's a secret: you may be a newbie but every stage of locking offers more and more things to love about the journey!

This week marked my first year anniversary wearing Sister locks and you are right, there is now a peace I never had before. I think an emotional shackle has been unlocked, and thus far this journey has lead me to the realization that I never really wanted European type hair, I just wanted the carefree easiness and acceptability that’s perceived with their hair type. I just wanted to be able to get out of bed, or the shower and not have to spend two or sometime three hours beating my hair back into submission so I could be presentable in public. I was tired of spending hours on my hair only to have someone ask me ..”Gurl, when you going to start doing your hair so we can go”. I have spent most of my life feeling like Cinderella waiting for the clock to strike 12 and my hair to turn back into a pumpkin …AGAIN…and resentful as hell about it. That resentment has been with me for as long as I can remember, and I think that is why a lot of little black girls try to rip the hair off of other little girls heads. (not saying I ever did that, but you know what I mean). There is also a peace that comes from letting long held resentments go. Thank you so much for creating this hair system, because it has allowed me to fall in love with what I have… and not torment myself over what I wish I had. It’s hard for me to believe that I love my own Sister locked hair now and choose wearing it over a wig or a weave.
