Grayton beach - bliss!!

 

 

 

Beach - me and my girls

 

We had a wonderful week at Grayton beach in Florida, white sands, sun, sea, waves. What more could I ask?

The girls, My Sis, Mom and Me

So the girls have new sisterlocks too. These are a few photos taken early December last year when my tiwn sister Ama came over to Atlanta with my lovely niece Kukua (also Sisterlocked)for the first Atlanta Sisterlocks explosion. Mum was with us for Christmas and that was a lovely time for us. Note: the girls need reti's lol Their locks are about 4 months old in the photos

Me Month 6 With Client Miss M

Here are a few photos taken at month 6. My more recent photos(coming very soon I promise), will show the color a lot more as I have redone it.

I'm back! New Sisterlocks Growing Daily

Well a big shame on me! It's been over a year since I last posted on my blog. My new set of Siserlocks are now a year old. It's been quite a journey getting used to itty bitty locks but I am pleased to say that they are coming along nicely.
As usual I can't stay away from color so I have colored them, about a month ago with Textures and Tones. I really like the results. Pictures are following soonest, I promise. Along with more regular blog postings.

New Year, New Me...Here we Go!

So, I'm finally making my first post this year and we are already in April. Shame on me. Happy Easter every one.
Well I did it and really went for the big chop just before the end of last year. I cut off my Sisterlocks of nearly 6 years and have started again with a brand new set.




Why? Not really sure. I had become dissatisfied and the first cut I felt didn't go far enough. Now I have sisterlocks which are just about 2 inches in length max. It's amazing how fast you forget what the beginning was like. Now I'll be taking the journey alongside many of my wonderful clients.


I went home to Ghana last week to see my mum who has turned 78. We had a wonderful time with my twin sister Ama and family friends. Look at the contrast between me and Ama's hair.
One thing I know for sure I'll never ever NOT have sisterlocks.

My New Look The BC!!

 

Call it mid-life crisis or what, I don't know, but after I washed my hair this week I took the scissors and you can see the results. I've been dissatisfied with locks for a while and this is the first phase of eventually cutting them off to start a new set. My hubby who was away on a work trip had a shock on his return(as did the kids when they got back from school). I had already forgotten about it so met him all smiles. He says it's taking him some time to get used to it. He did agree to take photos though. I'm loving it. So easy to take care of. The color I had refreshed a while back it just got "redder" with the summer sun. What do you think?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

October Meetup -Good Hair -REPOSTING (oops lost pictures!)

 

 

We couldn't have had a better way to reconnect than to see Chris Rock's movie Good Hair and our meetup tonight was just great.The film I felt was well done in the usual Chris Rock irreverent yet "real" style. His daughters, bless them are sweeties. He hit on some serious issues we women have with hair and image. If you haven't seen it already, please go.
Lovely to meet old friends like Sophia and Michelle and to make many new. We had a great turnout too. I'm sure many of you will recognize Meikmeka What a surprise and pleasure to see her. When she rsvp'd yes on the meetup site, I thought it must be a mistake.

 

 

My model girls..

 

So my girls did a photo shoot this week after having been selected for a local model search contest and boy weren't they excited.
Soila's sisterlocks are now close to 3 years and Nina is now in a very new set of twist locks. They had a real blast and here are just a few of their shots.

Demographic Winter

"A groundbreaking film, Demographic Winter: Decline of the Human Family, reveals in chilling soberness how societies with diminished family influence are now grimly seen as being in social and economic jeopardy..."

Has anyone seen this film yet? Wow thought provoking isn't it? I find the arguments flawed, but I'm interested in investigating the issue more deeply.

Recent Meetup Photos and A Pat On The Back From Dr Cornwell

Here are few photos from the Meet and Greet we had with Dr. Cornwell. My camera had a problem so I've been unable to post until now.
 

We had a great time and Dr. Cornwell shared a lot of insights about Sisterlocks and her vision. Enjoy.
 
I can't stop smiling since Dr. Cornwell complimented my client Sarah on her "beautifully done" Sisterlocks installation when she visited Atlanta in April. More of Sarah's Sisterlocks can be seen on her blog(4-5 months young). Benita, one of my newer clients, joined us for the second photo.
 

Speaking Of Clients...

Speaking of clients, I felt I had to post photos of Miss Roz. Her sisterlocks will be 4 months old this month and gorgeous. 

Roz's hair texture with its hints of gleaming tawny color, make sure heads turn wherever she goes. Note the bottom left photo taken when her retightening was only partially done. Roz has particularly fine hair with a loose curl pattern.

Become a Sisterlocks consultant
 

I was shocked to find out today that I haven't blogged in over a month - sigh, I'm so behind. I wonder how the prolific bloggers manage it? It's a real struggle for me to keep up. I acknowledge regretfully, that the updated blogs get far more frequent visitors.
Anyway I've been so busy with my clients - new and old and yes, Sisterlocks continues strong despite the recession, I always tell my clients. In fact, I think I can go as far as to say it's fairly recession-proof. For under 1,500 dollars which is the training fee, you have the potential to build up a wonderful business with the bonus of meeting and making many wonderful new friends. The overhead costs are not that high. The real cost is labor.
So check out Sisterlock's 2009 consultant training page page for the next consultant's class being held in your area. And guess what? When you pay for the class, you also get a free 1-year subscription to the official Sisterlocks Lifestyle Journal. Now that's a deal. In this photo we see Dr. Cornwell at the last Atlanta Sisterlock's Meet and Greet flanked by some of the wonderful consultants, sisterlocks wearers and trainees. Check out Sophia, Black Russian, Sarah, Onyxcherry and Paulette.

March Photo Shoot - 5 years

 

So Matt agreed to do a little photo shoot today so I could show some long-overdue updates. I wrapped myself in a kikoyi for the first photo. My hair: I roller set the front half of my hair with soft spikes Saturday night and two-strand twisted the bottom half since I was feeling too lazy to do it all. I retouched my color a couple of weeks ago. Nina and I had a giggle at the end.
