New Sisterlock Consultant

My visit with the new consultant was a big success. I didn't experience any soreness or headaches at all. Not the day of or the day after. I was there about 3.5 hours as I had quite a bit of new growth. She gave me some great tips for taking care of my locks and said they were coming along fine. She was great and the atmosphere of the salon was very upbeat and lots of fun. I'll post some pictures as soon as I unpack my camera. I went to see my family right from the salon and spent the weekend with them. Life is good!

Family Picnic - July 6, 2008

Well I survived the family outing with mixed reactions. My brother and his wife actually asked me a ton of questions. I found out that she’s been chemical free for 3 years. I just never noticed because she’s always worn weaves. They both are interested in locks but didn’t know how to go about it. They were both surprised at how many options there are for locking your hair. So that was a very good discussion.

On the other hand, my mother and sister kept huddling off to the side, looking over at me and huddling some more. I know I was the subject and my sister was definitely not into my hair but I wasn’t surprised at how easily my mother changed positions. Like I said before, she’s been my severest critic especially when she’s with my sister. Whatever, this is still my journey and I’m glad to be on it.
