Catching up and New Business Announcement!

Hello All,

It has been awhile since I posted last, so I must first apologize. I will try to be more consistent. Maybe if I tell you all what has been going on, you will forgive me. :0) Now....what has happened since we last talked.

I am about to celebrate my 5 month sisterlock anniversary...my how time flies. The good news is first, no more flakes...YEAH!!!! At about month 4, I realized I wasn't going crazy scratching my hair and watching the build-up of flakes. My consultant, Amba also suggested that I start using Arbonne's Intelligence shampoo with Tea Tree Oil, and it works miracles. I've stopped using the Sisterlock Starter shampoo and now wash once every 2 weeks with the Arbonne shampoo. I am very satisfied with the results.

More great news is that I have very few, if any at all, totally loose locks and slippage. My locs are staying in place and in the "fuzzy" stage of locking. I even have a few that have locked towards the back crown of my hair. It shouldn't be too long now, but I am enjoying the journey.

Lastly, my retightnings have gone from every 2 weeks to every 6 weeks and now last only 3 hours opposed to 5-7 hrs. My sisterlock life is very good right now. The pictures above are recent pictures to give you an idea of the growth and filling out of my locs. My natural shine is still present and I am still wearing it "freestyle."

Well, what else has kept me so busy you asked? I completed school and graduated on Sept 6, 2009 and am now a Licensed Massage Therapist and a Certified Neuromuscular Therapist. God is so good and the next chapter of my life has begun. I have just opened my business this month and have included the information below. If you are in the Atlanta area, call and set an appointment so I can bless you with what God has blessed me with! If you are not in the area, feel free to pass my new business info on to others that are in the area.

Patience is Everything!!!!

Hi All,

It's me again. I am now at week 6 of being Sisterlocked and still lovin it. I had my first follow-up visit on July 1st. I had a lot of slippage and loose locks, so it took about 5 hrs to get me back up and running again. It wasn't looking bad or anything, just needed some loving attention. That's the great thing about Sisterlocks, you never really have a bad hair day. My consultant and I decided that I needed to start coming about every 2 weeks for now to combat the slippage and loose locs. My patience is really being tested with this process, but I can't complain. Patience is a virtue, right?!?

I finally counted my locs during my last shampoo . . .and the verdict is . . . 371 locs. I thought I had more than that, but that is more than enough! My current challenge besides my slippage and loose locs, is my dry scalp. I want to vigorously shampoo soooo bad, but I'm being creative and doing a lot of "dusting" or "shaking" my dry hair instead. It's working, so I'll stick to it. I have started using my dandruff shampoo (Neutrogena T-gel) for my first wash and my sisterlocks shampoo for my 2nd. So far, so good. My hair is definitely growing and getting fuller. More pics to come at my 2 month anniversary.

Six weeks of class left and seven weeks until graduation . . .YEAH!!!!!! I will also be one of the selected speakers at the ceremony. What an honor! Patience has definitely been a virtue during this process. For those that didn't know, I am in school for Massage Therapy after serving in the Air Force for almost 9 years. It has always been a dream of mine that in 7 weeks becomes a reality. I'm not talkin about any kind of massage here; I will be certified in Swedish, Sports and my favorite, Neuromuscular Therapy. I'll be as good as the best Chiropractor when it comes to fixing postural distorments and giving pain relief. This is life changing stuff! I don't want to just make people "feel good", but I want to contribute to "healing" and "long-term pain relief"; Neuromuscular is the answer, so if you are reading this and in the Atlanta area, holla at me. My business contact info is on the right side of my blog.

In conclusion, I want to say thanks to all of you for your support. I especially want to say thanks to those who inspired me to blog and those who I inspired to blog. KEEP ON KEEPING ON!
