I confess....I am absolutley obsessed with Carol's Daughter products. I find myself strolling through Macy's, on the web, etc during my free time. I really don't use any of her products on my hair because it hasn't settled in yet. However, I have tried the tui leave in conditioner and it works really well. I have the khoret amen also, but it doesn't smell as good as tui products. I can't wait for my hair to settle in so I can experiment with some of her other products (Marguerite's Magic is on my list)
Despite how much of a product junkie I am... I am faithful to supporting and following the sisterlocks methods implemented my Dr. Cornwell
I love using the sisterlocks products and I was so happy when I found out they came out with a essential oil mist. This mist is light weight and gives your hair a nice scent and sheen.
Never before, unless my hair was natural, could I go to the club and party like a rock star without having a fuzzy fro. I went to the club a month after instillation, here are some photos of how great my hair looked
For the first few month and even now a little, I only wore my hair with a head band. My hair was so broken off from pressing it that my slx on the edges are very short.
My instillation was a 3 day process that took over 24 hours...625 locks later I was all done. It was well worth the aching booty..lol! I B&B and washed my hair the night I got home. In the beginning I liked to use the little barrettes when I washed my hair because I had A LOT of little babies. Now that my locks are 7 months old, I put them in about 8 big braids with rubber-bands and wash.
I wash my hair weekly religiously...my hair has always drived me crazy after a week (itching, natural oil, etc).
Below is a slide show of my instillation and hair the day after
I've been sisterlock stalking so many people's blogs, so I decided to create my own little journey. I have been locked since 8-18-08 (how cool is that??lol). It actually took 3 days to complete my instillation 8-17, 8-18, and 8-19 so I just decided to pick the middle date to celebrate my anniversaries! Sadly, this is not my first set of sisterlocks. I had a bad experience in June 2008, my locks were improperly installed. I am super meticulous about my hair so because I was so unhappy with the size, parting, tension etc so I took them out that month. For these reasons and more, I pride myself in strictly following the sisterlocks methods on my clients.
Why sisterlocks? I never had issues with my hair. I have always had a thick head of hair, I was just tired of revolving my life around my hair. It had been over 10 yrs since I had a perm in my hair. If my hair wasn't natural, I would be in the beauty shop every week getting my hair pressed and curled. I was slx trained in august 07, but was not ready then to get slx. I always told myself "when I'm 30 or when I have kids" I'd lock my hair, but one day I had to ask myself what was really stopping me from doing it?? MEE!!
