Pic of my kinky twistsThis is my first ever blog so here goes
I have had natural hair since 1999. Growing up i always hated natural hair as i never knew what to do with it and could never "manage" it. During my teen years i got a curly perm/jheri curl until i was about 14/15. Then i had a relaxer/str8 perm. I never managed that much better either. Crunch time came when i asked a "friend" to redo my hair as i was told she worked in salons and could do it for me. HORROR, she put the cream through the whole of my hair instead of jus the roots! So no surprise my hair started to break. After about cm or 2 of regrowth i decided to get rid of it and shave it off sporting a lil Fro.
Over the last few years since then i have had braids, gel/wax twists, cornrows, kinky twists, which were my fav and i did that for 3 yrs. Even tried a weave once but i found it too itchy. I had thought about locs for ages. Then end of last year i decided this is it i wam gona get locks in 2007. Took out my last kinky twists and jus do gel twists for now. A lady at work has sisterlocks and told me a lil about it. I spent some time lookin on the net tryin to get some info on dreadlocks and sisterlocks. I decided on sisterlocks but i can be slow at doing things so i didnt actually contact the consultant until June and they will be put in Aug 21/22
I had my sample locs put in on Aug 10. I showed my friends at church who have locs and they said it me it looks like interlocking, which is hell of a lot cheaper than sisterlocks. So i got confused, am i being ripped off, am i doing the right thing. Are they they same or different??? I spent last night on the net, couldnt sleep, was up early again this morning trying to ascertain whether there was a difference btwn the two. Still havent managed to get to a conclusive answer. But i came across LHBE and after looking at some blogs and seeing the pics i think yeah i will definately stick with sisterlocks. And i have realised that it is the same technique, and it is what i want
I am excited again about getting them put in. It still fairly new in the UK. So its countdown to my sisterlocks journey
