This Sister Lock Blog will chronicle the experiences I face transitioning from 9-10 inches of relaxed hair into SisterLock solitude. Contemplating Sisterlocks for a mere 4 months before deciding to ultimately take the Sisterlock plunge, I hope this blog will inspire "Relaxed" sisters who desire SLs, but fear the unknown. This blog documents my forthecoming sisterlock venture,set to commence Oct. 13, 2006.

Thank you all for the kind SL initiation thoughts.
Brunsli, LaChanda, Rachel, Maryee, Tra, & Balqkofi,
I was too intimidated to come to the SLs Gathering this past weekend, considering all the lucious locks that were present and very mature. I would have been officially 1 week on that day. But I will be a the next DFW Gathering.!!!

Welcome to the world! You started yours the same as I did, however, I only gradually cut my relaxed ends over a period of about 4 years. I'm now at 6. You're going to love it!

Congrats Nappytexangirl,

You really should have come on Sunday so that you could have seen what you have to look forward to when your locs mature. (Plus then you would have been the baby of the group instead of me:0)! It was truly a sight to behold. So many beautiful and elegant woman... Hope to see you at the next DFW SL event.

I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you.
