Momma's Locks @ 6 months!!!

So...I don't even know if I mentioned my mom finally had her Sisterlocks installed in January of this year!  Whoohoooo!!!!  Well here is a comparison pic of her at 6 months!

3 days 4 locking sessions!

So, my wonderful consultant, mentor, friend, big sis, Blenna Williams, came to town last Thursday and we worked together on 4 locking sessions over 3 days...and 2 retightenings...and I got MY locks retightened too!  It always feels SO good to be in the chair!  My last retightening was June 26! That is wayyyyyy too long in between for me...if I lived near Miss Blenna (Memphis, TN), I'd be in the chair every 5 weeks on the dot!  You may be reading this and thinking "Aren't you a consultant Syreeta?  You can retighten your own locks!"  ...and you are SO correct!  I sure could, but my arms in the 'up' position just hurts too bad!  In between seeing Miss Blenna, I have retightened the first lock of each row to camoflauge (however you spell that) the afro-growth going on...I am just so NOT interested in retightening my own locks.  That's one of the reasons I had my hair Sisterlocked anyway...because I was tired of twisting and doing my hair myself...if I retighten my locks, that's the same positioning of my arms as 2-strand twisting it!

...anyway...I haven't recovered yet from the weekend yet...Blen left on Sunday eve, I went to work Monday, visited with friends who recently had a precious lil' baby boy, went to work Tuesday and had a retightening client after, went to work Wednesday and had a retightening after....now it's Thursday - work, chiropractor appointment, Young Girls' class @ church, retightening client @ 8:30 pm....OMG!  But Friday work, but no clients, and Saturday and Sunday I have to do whatever I so desire! 

My sister and I took a jewelry making class a few weeks ago and Michael's is having a bead sale (1/2 off!) AND there is a bead show in the city this weekend, so I will work on my new hobby this weekend!!  YAY! I'll have to post some of our creations!  We only know how to do neckaces so far...

Oh yeah!! I'm excited!! I got a phone call yesterday from MY Master Sisterlocks Trainer, Michelle Bryant - she says she is forwarding my certification packet to Dr. Cornwell with a strong recommendation to certify me!!  So soon, I shall be a CERTIFIED Sisterlocks Consultant!!  Crossing my fingers, legs, arms, toes, and Sisterlocks that Dr. C. approves of me!!

Below are pics of one of our newest Sisterlocked sisters...Miss A.  {Sisterlocksversary 16Sep10}

Call Me Colored!

I am SO overdue in posting, but just figured I'd share my new hair! I went to Salon Nautrelle and my awesome consultant Blenna, colored and tightened me up! Blenna is the best! I'm in love with my Sisterlocks!! : )
...actually, looks like my Sisterlocks will be my Valentines' date :-/

WAIT! - this is my first post in 2010 so HAPPY 2010 to everyone out there!! Live, Love and Lock!...well, Sisterlock!!!

Sisterlocks Refresher Training!

I attended the training class again this as a refresher student! OMG! I am so glad I made that decision!! Since I have done about 5 heads of locks, I had some 'REAL' questions this time around and I got them all answered! ...I think! I'll be going back again within the next 12 months! I wanna be the best consultant as possible for my clients!! ; ) If you have attended the training once, I definitely suggest attending again, and again and again!! There were ladies in the class who had taken the class 5 years ago and had several clients; they learned stuff!!! SO, I know I'll be back!

Sisterlocks @ my house!!

Miss Blenna came in town to tighten us up!! This was my first tightening/follow-up @ the 3 week mark!! For those 3 weeks I didn't put a thing on my hair, except maybe damp fingertips in the am! I'll find some more pics of just mine to see if there was a difference from day 1!! Just wanted to share some of the other beautiful lokcs in my home that day!!!

Miss J....a Sisterlock consultant in NC! She did her own Sisterlocks!!
