My sister has worn wigs for seven years. Like many African American women, she suffered hair damage and loss from, what we now know are harmful chemicals. Wearing wigs simply became a way of life for her. And while she truly sported them and they were attractive, it wasn't her hair. On a trip home I discovered she had a full head of beautiful, natural hair with only limited reminants of the damage.
This is how she looked when she arrived in Oklahoma.
And this is how she left Oklahoma - sporting her own head of beautiful, natural Sisterlocks.
Pics of her installation follow. Hair styled by spritzing with water, braiding and rolling ends for a krinkly look. She had her hair dyed this beautiful color by a professional colorist two weeks prior to locking. As the color begins to wear off and her locks mature, she'll have a beautiful two-tone look. I'm so proud of her for celebrating her natural beauty. Afterall, she's BlaqKofi's sister!
