Sisterhood Anniversary: Seven years 4 months

 On this seven years and four months Sisterlocks anniversary, I am focused on hair color (liquid chalk) and body (weight loss).
After and before (shrinking core)

Usually, I post my favorite products around this time of the year, but not this year.  However, I will post some Holiday hairstyles in the next article.

Halloween Edition: Sisterlocks Anniversary at 7 years 3 months


It's been 7 years and 3 months since my Sisterlocks were established. The longer length allows for lots of creativity.

Obviously, I enjoyed Disney's Maleficent movie.

Cardi B inspired: Money and Power (Thanos glove)

Before Cardi B, Janet Jackson was my favorite artist.

Like Maya Angelou and Angelina Jolie's Maleficent, I rise like the "Phoenix."

My Sisterlocks at 7 years 2 months

I made it through my birthday month! I learned a lot about my hair in terms of hydration.  If it will not bend and stay in place then it needs hydration. A "dry curl" spray into the palm of the hand then applied to strategic areas works well with instant styling enhancement. I also applied full makeup with contouring.

 Because I started preparing for standup comedy, I applied strip lash extensions to see how I felt about performing in them. The Faux Mink version were light, quick to apply, and felt good.

So proud that I fought for justice for the young lady on my left. I unsilenced her. I unpacked 1990 and pieced it together. Through modern day counseling practices - I regained my confidence in my decision making. I reaffirmed that I was enough just the way I am. Welcome  Comedienne B'exponential!

7 years 1 month Sisterlocks Anniversary

My day to day grind requires this partial updo.  At seven years and one month, I don't need a separate barrette.

Playing with semi- permanent haircolor (direct dye)

I don't trust my Sisterlocks with any type of permanent haircolor. Luckily, I don't have a lot gray hairs for my age. The safest color absorbs into my hair just fine.

The longer my Sisterlocks get; I do see the tension at the roots when they are wet or if I am sitting back on them.
