Installation

My installation took place over two days, 7 hours on day one and 4.5 hours on day two. Well worth the wait. These photos where taken after the permed ends were curled. Please comment and let me know what you think.

Rollerset Issue

Thursday I had my test locks installed and a rollerset done. By Saturday my hair was a hot mess. I can not wear a simple rollerset, my hair is too thick and not used to being in it's natural state so I went onto youtube and viewed several videos. I found one that has made me feel so much better about me making it through the next three weeks to my sisterlock installation appointment. I twisted my hair and then used sponge rollers to curl the twists. The twisted rollerset came out really nice, my new growth is much softer and straighter than it was on Thursday and now I can run my fingers through my hair, unlike when I just had the simple rollerset (that was scary). I started having flash backs of the detangling process I went through on Thursday.

I'm feeling so much better now.

Sisterlocks - Test Lock Installation

I made it to my sisterlock appointment today at 10:00 a.m. I was there longer than I had anticipated, when I got there I got my hair analyzed by my consultant (she's great). She then washed, conditioned and she and another person spent more than an hour detangling my hair. It was crazy, the relaxed ends are really annoying but they worked it out well. I had two sets of tests locks installed, size large and medium. My consultant does not think that it will take much time for my hair to lock because it is very dense and spirally - that's good to hear. I am scheduled to have my full lock session the day before Thanksgiving. I can't wait. Until then, I will rock a rollerset and my test locks.

Pre-sisterlock Hair

I do believe that I have made some excellent choices in my previous beauticians. I have always selected those who I believed took best care of my hair. My hair is pretty healthy but I still had more than enough breakage and hair shedding. Tired of the breakage and shedding, I sought out ways of having healthy, beautiful hair. I believe that I was searching the internet for the best way for transitioning my hair from permed to natural hair when I stumbled upon the Sisterlock website. Six months later, I am a Sisterlock junkie. Here's a picture of my hair the night before getting my test locks installed and another before I started transitioning showing my original length.
