DON'T DO IT!!!!!

I DID IT! I have finally locked my hair. I am so excited, I love it more than I thought I would. This first entry should be me talking about how I went to a really great consultant (I did) and sat down in a chair and 16 hours later my hair was done (not exactly). Okay my friends know that I am the queen of cheap. If I can't afford to do something I will make my own way. Sooooo....I attempted to start my own sisterlocks, BAD IDEA (let me say again) BAD IDEA. I would not have done it if I could have afforded it, but it would have taken me like three years to afford it and I can take impatience to a whole nother level. From now on I will only bootleg movies, because this was one of the worst things I put myself through. Let me just add, I think it is great to start any other kind of locks yourself. However, sisterlocks should definitely be started professionally. So let me tell my story so that no one else does what I did (hope that makes sense), Here I am right before I began...so excited
(okay this is the first and LAST time ya'll will see bad pics of me, but they continue throughout this post) then I started my bootleg sisterlocking ( Dr. Cornwell I apologize). I could tell you the entire horrible story from start to finish..but I am going to just cut to the chase and tell you that I finished all of the front here is the first part of the left side that was completed. I was so excited..thinking I had done such a great job. Then I started on the right side
You can see me just a grinning thinking life is sooo great. I finished the entire front and as you can see I am still happy. Then I started on the back and everything went wrong. I started combining locks and making parts too big...I was going on to the FOURTH day of sitting in front of a mirror twisting my hair. I reached in the back to do a twist and it got tangled with another ( it was happening everytime at this point) and then I tried to cut the hair in between and cut out a whole patch of my hair!!! Okay I am not a crier, but after four days of this craziness I definitly started crying seeing my hair fall. I had complained so much that my friends started trying to set up a savings account for me to go and get someone else to do it. So I got on the Sisterlock website and looked up the fabulous Gigi's information. I had seen her name all over so many pages that I loved. Needless to say when she answered I was a pure hot ghetto mess, but she talked me through it and when I told her why I attempted to start them (personal) she set me up with Taffy (lifesaver!!, pics to come later) I drove to Dallas the next day and after many hours, much scolding ( I am very educated on sisterlocks and the trademark and all of the time that Dr Cornwell put into it) here I am world!. Let me say that Taffy probably uncombined more than half of my own locks. Also she let me know that my parts are wayyyy too big. So I really did not do a good job ( I wish I could wipe the grin off my face in those pictures). My official locking date August 14th 2008. A more current pic is located in my profile. It has been four weeks....wow.. and I love it more and more everyday. It would definitly have been worth waiting four years to do. I am so glad to locked, I wish I would have done it sooner. If you are surfing the web and trying to find a way to start sisterlocks yourself because the price is too high, just wait. Take it from someone who knows it is definitly not worth it. From now on no more bad pics, and only I love my sisterlocks stories. please continue to stop by and let me know what you think.
