I will post SL 1st day photos this week...
Hair Dye + Relaxer = Double Processed
What a bad equation!!
Kinky Twist (Sorry no make-up)
This is the style that prompted me to get SLs.
Long Black wig.
(lots of make-up)
This is normally what I wore while transitioning.
My real hair was braided in cornrows under this wig.
I personally thought it was much easier to transition with a wig because it took me all of 1 minute to do my hair in the mornings.
This is my real hair
(no need for extensions)
Can you believe I had not had a relaxer in almost 5 months in this pic and my hair was still very straight. That straight hair would soon catch up with me.
Wait until you see my SLs with all those d*** relaxed ends.!!
Long Black wigThis pic was taken deep in the country.
(Tyler, TX)
There are no trees like this in Dallas.
Don't even mention natural sister in this town. I was lucky to come across a sister period...
This is a very rural area in Texas where we go to escape the busy city.
Still a Nappy Texan...

Hi Lakeisa!
I enjoyed your before photos and I can't wait to see your Sister Lock photos. I was just Sister Locked myself on Sunday,10/15/06. I also sported the kinky twist but, they didn't look as nice as yours.
I must say this has been and will continue to be an exciting, interesting and joyful journey.
I'll check back and as soon as I get my photos uploaded to my blog I'll let you know. You're a week ahead of me so maybe we can exchange notes during these beginning phases.
Peace and Blessings,
Stella
You know, I probably would have used a wig when I was transitioning...except at the time I was in Indiana. I so took adavantage that there weren't other sista there who could shoot a dirty look and that my coworkers thought anything i did to my hair was cool. lol.
slwilder, I agree with you 100%! Sometimes white people's cluelessness works to your advantage!!
