My 1 Year Sisterlocks Anniversary!!!

Hi everyone!!! Boy...how time flies!!! Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the birth of my Sisterlocks. A year ago today, I was sitting in the chair of my consultant, Shirley Bobbitt, as she labored with installing my locks. I can remember how anxious I was to have the installation complete. I wanted to see the finished product and finally be on my journey to living natural and being free!!!

During the past year, I have seen my hair go through its various stages and begin to blossom into something beautiful. I can truly say my hair is the healthiest its been in a LONG time. To go from perm to a gorgeous head of locks...I don't regret the decision I made with getting Sisterlocks. I'm steady moving ahead...and not looking back. I do not miss the perms, weaves, etc. I used to burden my hair with. I never have a bad hair day with Sisterlocks. I don't have to spend mornings trying to get my hair just right and risk being late for work. I can wake up, spritz with a little water, run my fingers through my locks, do a quick style, and go!!! I don't have to grab an umbrella or something to cover my hair with when it rains. I can step out in the rain, in confidence, knowing I don't have to worry about the rain messing up a hairstyle!!! I love my Sisterlocks and I thank my consultant, Shirley Bobbitt, for starting me on my Sisterlocks journey and maintaining my locks.

My Sisterlocks journey has inspired me to start up another journey...a journey to become a Certified Sisterlocks Consultant!!! I have registered to take the Sisterlocks Training Class, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on October 3rd-6th, 2009. I've made hotel reservations and I'm all set to make the approximately 115 mile drive to Milwaukee for the 4-day training class. I'm so excited!!!

I love my Sisterlocks!!! I'm finally natural...I'm finally free...I'm finally Naturally KiKi!!!

3 Months Into My Sisterlock Journey!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!!! Well....I made my 3 month mark of being Sisterlocked on November 24th!!! I've been nothing but pleased with this decision that I've made for my hair and the journey has been fun!!! I had my 3rd re-tightening on November 23rd, at which, time, I had to have a little repair done to my locks. I've been on my health and fitness regimen for almost 3 weeks now and I work up a sweat when I workout. Due to the sweat, some of my locks had slipped and/or unraveled. My consultant made all of the necessary repairs and urged me to wear a headband while working out. So far, so good!!! It's been about a week since my re-tightening and I haven't noticed any slippage or anything. My locks are coming along great!!! I'm always getting looks from both men and women when I'm out in public with my Sisterlocks. I had one lady follow me around, from isle to isle, in one store trying to get a peek at my Sisterlocks. It made me laugh and smile...and you know I had to show 'em off....running my fingers through my hair as she watched and struttin' my stuff through the store. Lovin' my Sisterlocks!!!

Locked Down In Chi-Town's 1st Sisterlocks Gathering Was A Hit!!!

We had our 1st Locked Down In Chi-Town Sisterlocks Gathering this past Saturday and, boy, did we have ourselves a great time!!! It was such a pleasure to meet some of my Chicagoland Sisterlockers! From meeting and greeting one another while waiting for our table at the restaurant...to almost having to be pushed out of the restaurant because we were having so much fun hanging out...the evening surpassed my expectations of the group's 1st gathering. I am so glad I took the initiative to create our local Chicagoland group and I thank Cherie for helping me manage the group. It seemed like everyone had known each other for years from the way we were interacting with one another. The many laughs...the elders, me and Dutchess' headbands, Tammy's (Tmack) experimenting stories with straws, coffee stirrers, rollers, etc...and many other stories that made us laugh. I am TOTALLY looking forward to our next gathering...and again seeing those whom I've already met and meeting more people who weren't able to make the 1st gathering. It is so nice to be surrounded by such wonderful women and Women of God in Locked Down In Chi-Town. I think of them all as my extended family.

2 Months Sisterlocked & Lovin' It!!!

I will be officially 2 months Sisterlocked tomorrow!!! I was in such a good mood about my journey that I decided to do a personal photo shoot. Check out the slide show below:

2nd Re-Tightening

I am SO loving this journey and I love my Sisterlocks!!! Here are some pics of my Sisterlocks right after my 2nd re-tightening:
