I knew that I wanted to do something different, yet carefree because I was tired of going to the hairdresser! Every Friday I would go to the hairdresser for my usual wash and set (which would take no less than 4 hours; if I was getting a touchup, 6 hours). I was spending on average 832 hours a year at the hairdresser...that is no way to live!! I also knew that I wanted to change my look prior to my 40th birthday (November 18th). I found the SisterLocks website back in August and was immediately hooked! After looking at the website about a hundred times, I decided to do the "Damn Thang!" I had my SLocks installed on October 30th-31st, 2006 by Calla Johnson, who is an absolute treasure. It took 17 hours (or two days) to completely lock my hair. As my hair settles in, I'm trying to recover from my initial OMG, I look just like Pinhead from HellRaiser moment (LOL)! I'm ready for my SisterLock journey to truly begin, so stay tuned...
