Day 124
I just wanted to share with you what another opposer to locks wrote to me in an email. This is after directing her to Krystl’s blog. “It’s pretty, but I don’t think you should do dreads. It’s just too permanent & you have to cut it to change it. To me, long dreads make the [...]
Day 119
Joining an Alumni Association. What are the benefits? Is it like joining a sorority or fraternity? I contemplated joining the the UCSB Alumni Association when I graduated from college hundreds of weeks ago, but decided I wanted a minidisc player instead. Bad investment right? Especially for something that I never used but I saw it [...]
Day 117

The Rules are as follows:1. link the person who tagged you?2. mention the rules in your blog?3. tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours4. tag 6 following bloggers by linking them5. leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger?s blogs letting them know they?ve [...]
Day 108
Sometimes I wish I were adopted. I’ll probably blog about this later. Dogs are great, I just don’t like being responsible for them. Dogs are like kids, if you don’t feed them, they will die. That’s why I prefer plants. I can forget about them until I see a wilted plant in a corner, and [...]
Day 102
Sometimes I just want to give up on school. I spend time wondering why I’m doing this? I mean it’s been getting really frustrating for the past two classes. Like for some reason, the people are just getting dumber. They don’t know how to write, they can’t read, they don’t know a dang thing about [...]
Day 92 April Fool’s Day
IMG_0290Originally uploaded by Shavonne I did a lot today. I slept in longer than I had planned. I wanted to get up around 630 so I would be tired by the time I have to go to bed. I decided I should stay in bed since the sleep was so dang good. It’s been a [...]
Day 91
I finished my paper around 4pm to day. I didn’t think I would be able to make the word count but I did. I didn’t get out the bed until almost 10. I have a lot to do tomorrow. I have to do three loads of laundry, get some gas for my truck, buy some [...]
Day 89
I’ve been considering getting Sisterlocks for a few months. The only thing is there isn’t much information out there to help me understand what exactly is going to be done with my hair. For example, what do they mean by pattern, what does the pattern look like, and what is bunching? I’ve seen lots of [...]
Day 70
I’ve got ten minutes before my bedtime. I had planned on being in bed by 9 p.m. but got sidetracked by school. A new class. Yes! I can’t wait to get it over with. I’m somewhat saddened that a few people weren’t going to be in this class, as I got used to seeing their [...]
Day 61
I’ve been doing some more searching on Sisterlocks. I’m almost 85% certain I want them. I think the only thing that will convince me 100% is to meet with a consultant. I don’t want to meet with a consultant until I have the time to potentially get the locks installed. I came across another great [...]
Day 55
I’m taking a break. I still have to write the intro and conclusion for my paper but for the most part, it’s finished. I will do that sometime tomorrow. Someone besides Dear Carey noticed I’ve been blogging everyday. I’m so happy to see someone noticed. I consider daily bloggin a huge accomplishment that will help [...]
Day 50
I’m tired of work. When will I ever win the lottery so I can retire someplace tropical? The more research I do, the more convinced I want Sisterlocks. I still have a year before I will go through with it, so there’s plenty of time to change my mind (though I don’t see that happening). [...]
Day 32
I had a long day. I went to open a checking account at one of my banks and it took forever. While I was at the bank, I discovered my interim driver’s license had expired so I had to go to the DMV to get it renewed and report my driver’s license lost since I [...]
Day 7
I don’t know why every time I sit to compose my next greatest blog post, I can never remember what I wanted to write about. I’ve got one year, one month and three weeks of school left. I already wrote about this. I’m tired of talking about my hair. I’m tired of combing my hair. [...]
Doubts about Sisterlocks
I’ve been searching the blogosphere for more blogs on Sisterlocks. I came across this one. I haven’t gotten many positive reactions when I told people what I want to do with my hair. For the most part, everyone has said I would have a hard time getting a job. I’ve shown them blogs of Sisterlock [...]
Relax Time
I’ve just finished my paper and now it’s time for me to relax. I don’t have much time to blog. I doubt I’ll be doing much blogging in the next year. I noticed a lot of bloggers are making their blogs private. Why?! I suppose it won’t be that bad since I don’t have much [...]
A most horrible reaction
I left my Sisterlocks Lifestyle Journal (Summer ’07) on my mom’s bed just to see if she’d look through it. Her reaction wasn’t a good one and it pretty much summed up her attitude towards the natural, unaltered hair of black people – she finds it disgusting. “Why would you want to ruin your beautiful [...]
Sisterlocks
filled front cover Originally uploaded by tuere.online I’ve been contemplating chopping of all my hair because I’m tired of the hassel of blowdrying and straightening with flat irons. I did a search for natural hairstyles and came across Sisterlocks.com. I was skeptical at first because many of the pictures of women wearing Sisterlocks were rather [...]
Worst trip to the beauty salon ever
I knew I would have a bad hair day when I was told the Russian girl wasn’t coming back, but I decided to give the new girl a try anyway. Now, I only use Kera Care products in my hair because I have a sensitive scalp and other products, especially grease, will cause my a [...]
