Day 128
My cousin, the one who was more than fine with me chopping off my hair, keeps trying to suggests other ways I could style my hair other than the dreaded Sisterlocks.
She suggested two-strand twists. Not down with that. I haven’t seen one woman that I thought looked nice with twists. Way too juvenile for my taste. Not at all sexy like Krystl or sophisticated like Brunsli. I might as well wear my hair in pony tails like I did when I was a small child.
She mentioned how my hair looked when it is curly. It’s an okay look but combine it with some the Santa Ana winds and the dryness of the desert and my hair will look like a brillowy hot mess!!! I don’t even want to go into the amount of hair product I had to use to help me maintain this curly look. When it came time to wash my hair again, my hair felt all slimy and gooey in the shower. I thought I was in one of those old Nickelodeon shows where the kids would always get green goo dumped on their heads, only I was in the shower attempting to wash the goo out.
I’m off to bed.
YES! i agree with you! i have curly hair as well and i am looking at sisterlocks as an alternative. My hair only looks nice when its short and curly and i don’t want that. I’ve done it and it was cool but if i ever want to go back to that and all the product and tucking and pulling and checking to make sure i don’t look wild and my hair isn’t dry and falling apart…basically i’m tired too. i’ve been looking for someone that i could relate to in this new sisterlocks experience. i’m not sure if you have gotten them yet, i haven’t but i am going all natural and its been 5 months since my last dose of creamy crack! lol! Good luck with your journey.
Thanks for visiting. Congrats on being crack free for 5 months. My last hit was back in 2001 so I’m completely relaxer free. I haven’t gotten Sisterlocks yet. I don’t have the time right now to interview consultants because of school. I’m hoping to start the process sometime next year. -Shavonne
