Lock Venture was created to journal my journey to Sisterlocks which began on 3/13/06. The beginning has been filled with excitement and wonder and I'm already experiencing a whole new world with natural hair as I set out on the road to Lockdom. I hope this blog will encourage and inspire others to join me.

Lock Venture No pics 2day. I just wanted to share that I ran into a lady yesterday while sitting in a school auditorium. When I sat down she touched me and complimented me on my SL's. I said thanks without turning around and then I decided to ask how she knew they were SL's and I looked at her to discover that she's in the family, for 4 years now. Her locks were colored and gorgeous. I did get SL envy for a minute but just like her I know that my hair is fearfully and wonderfully made and it's gonna do whatever it's gonna do. I do have a slight concern tho. Lately I've noticed a single string at the end of many of my locks. I did ask the SL vet I met about this and she assured me this is normal and that she eventually cut hers off. Right now I'm not gonna do anything. I will ask my consultant about it when I go for my retightning next month. I don't style or roll so I can't figure if this is due to me or if it's just a phase in the process. My locks still look and feel healthy; so I guess I'll run on and see what the ends going to be.

Well another month has come and gone and it's my 8th month anniversary of my Sisterlocks. I can tell they're on their way to lockdom because they're becoming firmer; they're growing blossoming into what I think are gorgeous locks. Many of my locks have buds that are growing on the part of the lock closest to the scalp. All don't have this but all have made some kind of change. I'm still bandin and braidin b4 I wash and tryin not to do anything that compromises or jeopardizes their progress. I've even been complimented and told 'you're hair is beautiful.' I can't remember hearin that when I was permed. I'm even wearin lock jewelry! And, I've been checkin out Brunsli's hair ties and I just might acka fool and buy one or some. I still love touchin my hair and let it do what it was intended to do. Lord knows I've come this far by faith cuz I had witnessed how wonderful SL's looked on others but wasn't sure about my own. I am experiencing some dryness but hopefully my consultant will have that moisture stuff that is sold by the SL company. It's hard to believe that in 4 more months I'll be Sisterlocked one full year. My hair reminds me of a new testament scripture which says 'This is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes.' That's how I feel about this locking process. It is the Lord's doing and it is marvelouse in my eyes!
