Mai no longer has MicroBraidlocs now I have Sisterlocks!

After being natural for eight years I was completely bored and slightly discouraged about my hair...then surfing the net one day I found the perfect solution....sisterlocks! A quote from a fellow microbraidloced blogger "I am not OVER my hair yet. Two years later and I am a little more content but definitely NOT over it!" coupled with some major loc problems urged me to take the plunge over to sisterlocks after being 3 months microbraidloced.

My new sisterlocks anniversary is November 17, 2008!

Feel free to drop by and leave a message or helpful hint! Enjoy!

Cassidy....A little girl and her Sisterlocks

Cassidy was born in June 2004 and her Sisterlocks were born just 4 1/2 years later! We are thrilled to be able to start out her locs early, knowing that by the time she is 8 or 9 her locs will be long and healthy and she will have so many options with her natural hair. I don't think it would be fair for me to debut Cassidy here without her input, so I brought her over to the computer and she hopped up into my lap as we scrolled though all of your pictures and stories. She said to me, "All those girls have locs like me? I want mine to be down to "here" like hers, and beautiful like "hers", and I want some of them pretty earings in my hair too mama"! Thanks to all of you, Cassidy is so proud of her natural hair. Some things I will never be able to give my baby alone, because she is of African heritage and I am not. I thank God for the women that He puts into our lives to be role models for Cass, and this sisterlocking experience has filled a missing piece of our life. The experience for Cassidy and I to hang out in the city where I was the minority, so God could remind me of how Cassidy feels on most other days. The time in the salon with all the African American women in and out, chatting away, talking to her, lifting her up and encouraging me. The groups of you genuine, awesome, loving ladies to write to me and Cassidy on her blog has been priceless. She loves to read all the comments and I can see such a feeling of acceptance on her face....it's a beautiful thing.
So, all that to say that this journey is much more to us than hair alone. It's a way for me to show Cassidy how proud I am of who SHE is, how God made HER, and for her to love herself naturally. And I had no idea the love and support we would find among the loc'd family out there! A void has been filled in both our lives and we can't wait to see what the future holds, what opportunities will come, what life will bring about as Cassidy grows up loving her locs!
Locs were installed on October 9th 2008 in Philadelphia PA
Locing time was 11 1/2 hours
Loc count 398

We love to hear from you, please stop over and visit with Cassidy at her blog found here:

My Hair locking journey "Natural" 2000-2008 Photos

Greeting all I would like to share My Hair Locking Journey off eight years.

Before I started my locks I was waring Braids for years after my hair broke off from a perm I had before as a teenager.
I never wanted to go there again. I also wore a Maxwell style Afro, I liked it a lot but I always wanted locks so in 2000
I went to locks,that I Love very much.

I Also make Natural hair care products from my garden. Because I love Natural Healing & Natural Herbal health..
Many people have been enjoying the benefits of my Herbal Hair Mist,
Herbal Shampoo/Conditioners I make.
I also use Shea Butter mixes for my hair..
They all have many Herbs, Plants,Essential Oils that promote Good Hair Health...

The Voyage to Nique - A Natural Hair Journey

Hi everyone! I have been wanting to go natural for some time and being out of the country helped me take the leap. I had the last time of seeing my hair break off from being chemically processed, so I finally decided to just do it! I cut off all of my hair and I now have approximately 440 braidlocks and I am excited about my natural hair journey.

Visit my lockspot and follow me on my journey to healthy and super fly naturally locked hair.

Advertorial

Can you say KAWAII NE???!

Finally!

Someone at the designing department are hearing my long-time grumbles!

"Please," I pray every night, "Let there be more baby pink products that I can spend my money on. Thanks ah!"

Cameras used to be only black - and the swankier ones were silver.

Doh! BORING! We humans can see a few million colours, why only make stuff in silver and black??!

Dumb boy engineers all focus on the however spectacular amount of megapixels. All I want is a cute camera!

And this must be one of the cutest cameras around!

I am pissed coz I just bought my pink Canon camera - but not in baby pink like this. And not all retro and pouffy!

But I am happy, because Canon's gonna be loaning me this baby for 1 week!!

(Already I am thinking of trickery to make them give it to me... Maybe I stick it with diamantes and they won't want it back?? Somehow make it smelly? Nah... I don't want a smelly camera either... Oh well...)

Anyway, there is one way to legitimately get the camera - which is to win it!

With my new on-loan camera, I am to do an online scrapbook!

I will be doing this with 5 other female bloggers, and we are all gonna post our entries on the 24th, so be sure to come back on that day (at least guaranteed will have an update).

If my online scrapbook is judged by readers and the good Canon people to be the cutest, I might get the camera! Woohoo!!!

Actually this is one of the most exciting advertorials I've gotten. :)

See here for more details - Nuffnang has gone all cutesy too!!
