My Sisterlocks and My Life

I love my Sisterlocks! Hair is such an intensely personal symbol. Growing Sisterlocks has made me more comfortable with my natural beauty and has taught me patience. I began my Sisterlocks in 2000. I had about four inches of relaxed hair and only half an inch of natural hair to work with. My hair locked after about six months, but I kept my relaxed hair for about a year before I chopped it off. I was so glad to see it go! I haven't looked back since. Locking my hair is the most wonderful, freeing thing I've ever done for myself! My husband even has Brotherlocks!

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY The Locked Hair Blog Exchange. I had my Sisterlocks installed December 13, 2003 by Imani Nash-Bey (Inland Empire, CA.) I requested she make them larger than the traditional Sisterlock size because I had worn my hair locked before and liked the larger size. Since installation, I have combined some locks, so my locks don't have the Trademark SL look, but Sisterlocks is where I entered in this season of locks.

Good Job Maryee... You are doing an awesome job, sis! Thanks for letting me hang out with you for so long. Blessings, ya'll~
