Sharing Queen V, Sisterlocks client and friend. Locked by LaShaun out of Missouri a little over two years ago; I've had the pleasure of maintaining her locks up until she began self maintenance last year. For you DIY's it's important to see your Consultant for lock maintenance once or twice a year.
V is going through the "bunching" stage, an added challenge to retightenings for both the Consultant and DIY. Many Sisterlockers experience this budding phase. Including your's truly. V's thick, course hair and curl pattern while perfect for SL, causes her ends to bunch. Having to work the bunched end through the smaller rotation opening adds tension on the lock, so special care should be taken. This phase can be somewhat bothersome and very challenging to style. Yet, they reign beauty.
Her locks will eventually shrink to their mature size. Each maturation has it's own, natural timeframe. Her natural awakenings is unique to V. No two journeys, Sisterlocks or otherwise are identical.
I had the pleasure of retightening V, doing some lock maintenance and sharing space with her, finishing the evening with a fun photo shoot.
(Thanks P for the lighting.)
Afterwards, V's locks rock! A spray bottle of water, a few drops of jojoba oil and lavender added moisture and a soothing scent during the retight.
Like a caterpillar struggling to free itself, V's same course, thick hair is maturing into an even more stunning head of Sisterlocks. Like the butterfly, it's beauty undeniable.
OK, let me not be presumptuous, you decide...
