Week two

Finally getting comfortable with my hair the spacing is filling in and I am on Week II. The only parts where  you can see parts/scalp is at the very edges near the ears


This is the first time I have tried not to hide the edges- here I have it pulled back and not pulled to the side. Getting a little more comfortable as it grows out. On June 29th, I have an appointment with Ms. Hamilton to check for slippage. I do know I have quite a bit of slippage at the nape of the neck because that was a soft area.


no more parting grip up top

vanessa the wig





Who wouldn't want to aspire to Joanne Cornwell?

"sisterlock sorority"
the grid pattern is what everyone wants to hide right away but it is also art. Sisterlocks are sooooooo tiny. I got my sisterlocks in the "Medium" Size. The medium is the most common size to get. The retightening schedule does not take too long when you have medium sisterlocks.

There are four sizes to Sisterlocks
1. Micro
2. Small
3. MEDIUM
4. Large

Something that a locked person knows they have to go through

this separates the dread-heads from the non-dread heads
THE WILLINGNESS TO LOOK LIKE A PLUCKED CHICKEN-HEAD is dedication to your dreadlocking art form

Be one with the plucked chicken look (Or get a wig, you decide)
