Sisterlocks at Seven years six months Status

Whether I am wearing Calvin Klein like the picture above or Ashley Stewart in the picture below - I do it to satisfy the popularity contest. I have always been as Lizzo's song says "DNA test says 100% that bit¢h."  Those who have tested me know the deal.



Anyway, it is my seven years and six months Sisterlocks anniversary. I've returned back to the The Mane Choice Tropical Moringa line for Restorative spray and Sealing cream. Longer locs need more assistance with hydration besides water.


Many hair clients are wanting me to stick with hairstyling. When I owned my own salon, I was obviously committed to hair full time.  Now, there are a lot of salons that have closed in my area. If clients want me back full time, then someone else needs to buy me a salon. I am passionate about haircare and will always try to stay ahead of the curve like I have always been! I really want to try Celebrity stylist Janel Sealy Smith JASS haircare line and methods.

Seven Years Sisterlocks Loc-Versary


It's seven years this month for my Sisterlocks, and I am showcasing seven looks!


The weather sometimes just drop all my curls out leaving it straight.


I have to bantu knot my hair at night to maintain some texture for the next day.


Lady in red.

Yes, I can touch the bottom of my hair.

My hair is long enough to tie in a knot in the crown from the sideburns area.  It gives me a partial updo.



I have been sporting a lot of Ashley Stewart fashions lately.


A fresh wet set service delivers the maximum amount of curls.

How did I do?  I heard "Sisterlocks" are now the local trend.  I guess-I was ahead of the curve. I still self maintain my own locs. Happy Number 7 for me! I will continue to check in once a month.

Sisterlocks Anniversary: Six years and 11 months

May 2019 Clothier William Wilson Social Event

It is my six years and 11 months Sisterlocks Anniversary.  I am attending more and more social events including Netflix Comedy taping for Deon Cole.



I am still trying to maintain my exercise routine and cut back on complex carbohydrates.  I have been eating Kilwin's chocolate fudge as my dessert in lieu of cake slices, cupcakes, etc.


I've been shopping at the Ashley Stewart store.  The yellow top in the top picture, the White crop bottoms in middle picture and the "tie-dye" top above are all Ashley Stewart clothing.

I have also submitted paperwork to Asheville, NC District Attorney Todd Williams in order to pursue kidnapping charges against my rapist since the 1990 rape charges were dismissed.  It is so interesting how prosecution is more of a political mechanism for people to manipulate to their advantage.  The guilty can buy their freedom or like the case of the Central Park 5, prominence can cage an innocent man. I am hoping to go to trial.  My family and I have suffered greatly over the damage caused from the assault. I will never forget. I am ready to fight for justice if it still exists in the judicial system.

Sisterlocks: Six years and ten months Anniversary

Locs versus Wig

This past month I had a lot of events I attended. It was also my six years and 10 months Sisterlocks Anniversary.  I purchased a $30 synthetic wig to change up my look.  I also found a store named Ashley Stewart that has some gorgeous, fitting clothes for my unique body shape.

I enjoyed the Kountry Wayne comedy show in another Ashley Steward top.

I love taking pictures with eagles. There is nothing like seeing his "red bottom shoes."  Awesome, Clean comedy. His sparkling attire lit up my face.

While at the comedy venue, a young lady pointed to me  and said "Grandma, that is how my hair is going to look when it grows out."  I smiled and kept walking.  Honestly, her hair texture was cute, but definitely not the same texture as my hair.  I didn't want to burst her bubble. Her locs will mature differently than mine.

I am really loving Ashley Steward clothes.  I also admire my loc length.
