Only use recommended products and techniques applicable to the age and stage of your Sisterlocks. (i.e. someone with 6 month old Sisterlocks should not use a product featured at 40 months. ) Common sense, I know, but it has happened, thus the disclaimer.

And remember, "it's natural to be natural!"

Introducing....

I'm proud to introduce my second and third full install clients. Both are beautiful spirits - inside and out. Please join me in welcoming them to the Sisterlocks family.

Client #2



Client No. 2 has some breakage and sparceness along the front hairline. I'm confident it will grow and fill in with time. In the meantime, she's purchased lots of funky, cute and fun headbands to wear. I spritzed her completed locks with water and rolled them on SoftSpiker curlers to add volume. I allowed her locks to air dry while we discussed washing techniques, banding and braiding and lock care. I removed the SS, finger combed and added her headband for a finished look.


Client #3



Client No. 3 had 8 inches of all natural, beautiful hair. It was a real treat to install her locks. After completing the front sections of her hair, I spritzed with water, braided and left in place while I locked the back sections. I then spritzed and braided the back sections. Her hair air dryed while we dicussed lock care, washing, banding and braiding. I took the braids down, spritzed her ends lightly with water, rolled them on SoftSpike curlers and sat her under the dryer for 30 minutes. This gave her a crinkly, curly look with volume which she loved.

I preferred using the Soft Spike curlers rather than heat on both of their completed locks. Their hair was soft, absorbed water quickly and I knew it would dry quickly. Using the Soft Spikes gave them a style that would last for several days as they became acquainted with their natural freedom.



Blaq's on her way to certification y'all! Look forward to my upcoming 4 year lockversary post next week.

Your passion for natural hair shines through on your installs. Your attention to precise partings is awesome!!! I remember reading on one of your past blogs where you said that wished that you liked doing hair. This is proof that if opportunity presents itself to do something that you are passionate about, you will KNOW how to do it, because you already love it. Congratulations!!!
