but it's for a good reason. I can't wait for my installation dates (Jan. 29&30). My girls (ages 10 and 12) are excited about it too. They want theirs done also.
I'm thinking of interlocking their hair on my own using either the nappylocs tool, some bobby pins, or some other homemade tool. I'd do my own, but I feel like sitting back and letting someone else do it.
Currently, I have about 8 inches of hair, although I have been natural since 2001. I always got aggravated with my hair and ended up cutting it. I didn't like for it to get past that stage where I could wear my cute, high afro puff.
My consultant said that she would most likely use a 4pattern on me with medium in the back and small everywhere else. My hair is thin. I am a little worried about parts because of that, but I know eventually, they will disappear.
Some people think I'm crazy for spending $800+ on a hairdo, but I have not gotten my hair professionally done in over 10 years, so I am just spending a couple of years worth at one time.
Pictured above is me with the last double strand twists that I will do in my hair, unless for some reason I decide to try it with my sisterlocks. I may post pictures of myself from over the years, when I get a chance to dig them up.

Welcome to the family. Oh my I didn't realized that the price of getting Sisterlocks has increased but, it's all good if it's what you desire. You asked about color so here's my 2 cents. I got my hair colored 6 months prior to getting Sisterlocks via the homegirl hookup. I did not color again until I was locked for 2 years. Initially, I hated that I did it because it WILL change the texture of your hair because it is a chemical. After about a month I got used to it and it's been all good since. If you're thinking of doing your hair yourself you can do it and it will save you loads of $.Braidlocks eventually look the same as Sisterlocks once they mature. Happy locking.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and welcome! Don't feel badly about that price. The premium added is probably a result of the length of your hair. The process is longer and therefore harded on your consultant physically. Therefore it makes sense that she would charge more. I know because I am a trainee who has done long-haired sisters. If you want prefer to spend less, cut your hair. It'll grow back - trust me!!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you! Looking forward to seeing you and your brand new Sisterlocks at the Charlotte meetup.
