It must have started before I even realized what was happening. I began to grow tired of what was being done to my hair. I won't go into details now but I will say that at the age of 49 it was time for a change.I decided not to let anyone put acid in my hair ever again. I went around with an afro for many months, then I bought braids that didn't match my natural hair color.
After lots of research I decided on Sisterlocks. It took two women 15 hours to get it all done. I went through what I called my Buckwheat days:
Looking at my pictures you must notice that I am a natural blond.
This has turned a few heads. It always has but now with my locks I wonder if their heads aren't going to swivel right off their necks.
I get odd questions: "is that a wig or a mop on your head?" "Why are you wearing that funny hat, are you going to a costume party?"
I also get lots of compliments. The hardest thing is keeping people's fingers out of my hair. But I'm sure you do too.
Welcome! Your locks look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour locks are beautiful! I did not go through the buckwheat stage. I was too chicken. I started locking when my hair was about 6+ inches.
