My SpringLocks Results


 
You've seen her YouTube videos all over the web... no doubt, you've seen the results of her beautiful SpringLocks techique on her client Antoinette's Sisterlocks. I recently placed an order for her most recent instructional video. Now... you, my Natural Journeys readers, already know that pipecleaners are my curling tool of choice among hair spools, SoftSpikes, the Wrap-A-Loc tool, and bantu knots. Truly, it's all in the technique because the tools are simple. Those who are "in the know" you must compensate... and I ain't mad at 'em! Go forth my dear sistahprenuers!

I'm very pleased with my results!! Thanks Phyllis-the Videotician for sharing. I love the Web for learning ANYTHING about which I'm ignorant. My photos posted here show my good and BAD technique and my really nice results-- for the FIRST TIME. I've been rockin' my long lasting set for a week now. LOVE IT!

Your set looks great! I enjoy watching Phyllis' videos because you learn so much and her hair is beautiful. I have to style my hair a little differently because my hair is thick and full, so I get different results sometimes. You did an awesome job with your, so keep posting more pics. I've also used pipe cleaners before and they work great.

Dewdrop, I learn from YOUR blog and videos as well! I'm learning that my various hair lengths and texture stages requires just a little something different as I go. I recently washed THIS set out, then "springlock curled" it again. The back of my hair had not full dried even by morning. Upon releasing this curl set, the back WAS NOT curled at all. UGGHHH! I HATE when this happens. My locks in the back middle of hair head are probably more like what you are saying your hair is like. Now, I have learned that my best results happen with a few locs at a time on a pipe cleaner and only misted damp at that.

I think your curls turned out really nice and for them to last that long is an added bonus. I must give curling my hair a try, lately I haven't felt much like styling.

@BrownButtahFly - Thx! I have found that at least for my hair it is abundantly important to make sure my hair fully dries before taking out the curlers (pipecleaners). Or the time spent rolling it becomes WASTED because in the end you have NO lasting curl or NO curl at all... and I DO HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS :(

PIPE CLEANERS can be found at your local dollar store or arts & crafts retailer. Even Office Depot carries Chenille Pipe Cleaner, Black, Pack Of 100 for $2. Again I say... the tools are simple, however TECHNIQUE is the key to your resulting curl.

Hope this helps...

I'm A "Green" Diva

This post is probably TMI about me... but health and wellness are things I am passionate about from head to toe, inside and out-- to include menstrual health. Any of you heard of The DivaCup? I use to sell it at my online store. I'm now out of stock. The other day I got to thinking how long it has been since I first started using a menstrual cup in lieu of tampons. It's been about 4 years now at least. I'm sure it was either shortly before or after I got Sisterlocks Either way... it too is a decision I don't regret making much like my decision to get Sisterlocks. I had been a tampon user since a teen and had become increasingly concerned about toxic shock syndrome. Not because I had ever experienced any symptoms but I just got to wonderin' were there any OTHER options to tampons and pads. Oh the wonder of the Internet... I got to Googlin' up some stuff and lo and behold... alternatives existed and had existed for years. You may be amazed as I was that there ...

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...

I'm lovin' Obama, but now...

What I'm about to say is not going to be popular... but liken this transformation to the continued maturation process that we loc'd sistahs/brothers go thru when making the decision to loc or not. I love the idea of the beautiful Obama family in the White House, but I now am not sure I can support Obama with my official vote come November 4th. Yes, the same ME who donated money to his campaign, stood in long lines in Detroit on Labor Day this year, who penned the previous posts http://esandb.blogspot.com/2008/03/barak-praise-lordenough-said.html, http://esandb.blogspot.com/2008/09/labor-day-2008-in-detroit-with-obama.html, http://esandb.blogspot.com/2008/06/prayer-for-barack.html, and my famous pic at this post http://esandb.blogspot.com/2008/08/love-me-some-obama.html. Upon deeper research, I can't honor Obama with my official vote because I don't agree with 75% of his politics or values. I realize I like others that I really want CHANGE on the face and actions of Am...
