Myyyyy Momma Got Silky Locs!?

“I guess you are gonna say that I’m tryin’ to copy YOU…” my mom began, talking to me on her cell phone. I was the first person my momma called on her way home from the salon...

She already knew how daddy was gonna react to her decision to try silky locs. My dad is a licensed barber and likes to threaten to cut my Sisterlocks off. His way of jokingly expressing his dislike for my loc'd hair in addition to his direct statements of dislike about my hair. Anyway... momma already knew what she was up against in heading home to her husband--my dad. I was on the phone when she entered the house greeting my dad saying, "Hey love..." I could hear my daddy in the background grunting, "ughhh!" Momma and I both laughed. Actually, I think it was me laughing louder than momma. Momma went right into explaining why she had gotten THIS style.

A little background info: my mom recently retired, yet is about to start a new job that requires her to travel (daddy goes too). So my momma basically desired a low-maintenance hairstyle. (This style is supposed to last a month according to hairdresser.) I don't know much about "silky locs" myself maybe you can leave me a comment about how to daily maintain the "silky locs" hairstyle, if YOU know...(?)

What do you think my readers?!?

Will my momma slip over to the loc’d side???

Stay tuned blog friends until the next exciting adventure of

Length to Short Bob Sisterlocks Hairstyle

Well, it has been about 2 years since my last post... (seems I'm mostly on my personal Facebook page and Google+ not to mention working towards completing my doctoral degree expected 2015 WhoopWhoop... but, I digress...) Here's what up... As the title suggests, I have gotten my length of 9 years cut into an Angled Bob. Now, while I had envisioned my Bob having a definite wedge from the side view... I guess my hair is just to fine to REALLY STACK HIGH naturally. That being said I do like my cut, but I was tickled by it because truly 'all things old become new again'. What I mean is that I HAD a permed Bob with a very short cut nape of my neck upon having my Sisterlocks installed back in 2005...and looking at my hair in 2014 it seems that I have started where I had come back then! (See the pic) Of course, THIS TIME the hair on the top of my head is chemical-free!!  This is ME with all my daughters...we all rock natural hair. My two SL'd daughters-- 2girls

Avoid Fat Sisterlocks Ends

"I want Sisterlocks like yours... I hate my fat Sisterlock ends!"   This typically happens to Sisterlock'd ends of hair with a thick soft wavy texture. After it occurs, the only remedy I have learned of to date is to CUT OFF THE OFFENDING ENDS. To avoid or control the normal swelling expected on your journey to loc maturity-- particularly, of the thick soft wavy hair type, follow the next set of rules: 1. BAND YOUR ENDS EVERY TIME YOU WASH YOUR HAIR. You may need to do so longer than the regularly prescribed time period until YOUR particular hair type locks. 2. DON'T wet, spritz or spray your ends with anything (Sisterlocks Moisture Treatment product included) unless they are banded. 3. When you shower, at the very least-- WEAR your shower caps my loc'd thick soft and wavy sistahs! Natural Journeys family, please share your fat loc'd hair end avoidance tips!

Just kidding... Lottabody DOES Work on MY Sisterlocks!

Hmmm, well, I guess I figured out  my Lottabody to Water ratio...  I sure needed to because as you can you see, I have a half bottle of the stuff yet to go... and this large bottle WILL LIKELY last me for the next 9 years... lol!
