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.

My Babies are 1!!!!!

Well actually, I am about 1 year and 1 week into the SLing thing. I have just gotten around to posting about my 1 year locaversary due to various issues in life...... So far everything is going smoothly. I, like many other SL sistas seem to suffer from the dreadful "I can't notice a difference phase". I mean, like literally, I have compared pics of my first week and now shots and have managed to convince myself that there is no growth. I know this is an absurd thought, but until I see otherwise, I am still anticipating this massive growth spurt that I know won't conceivably happen. Most of my ends have sealed with the exception of a few that want to take their precious time. I am still loving my SLs and still have no regrets!!!!

No matter how long it takes. I would prefer my nappies over this any day.....




The back of my nappies...



Another crazy pic of SLs at 12 months.



Front of SLs. I still love them though.......



Side shot of SLs.

Fresh retightening... I have stopped counting my retightenings because I just can't keep up. Retightenings feel so GREAT!!!!!




Side, front, length shot. I dont know why I like the back of my head better than the front.. Weird right...


Some funky bangs I got going on... I can't do much with them, they are too short!!!

Yay!!!! My ends are sealing and are starting to feel more durable to the hand....


The front. oooooh, I need more length......

Congrats on your lockiversary! I think waiting for growth is like waiting for water to boil. One of these days you'll look up and be amazed at all the growth that you've had... at least that's what I keep telling myself =)

Happy Lockversary! In due time you will be able to tell a difference. Just keep taking photos so you can compare them.

Yay! I finally found someone whose hair is similar to mine in relaxed length! I've been looking for days to find someone who got sisterlocks while retaining a lot of relaxed hair. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures and the blogs. Though I know everyone's SL will look different, you give me an idea of what to expect when I decide to take the plunge.
