Sisters and Brothers,

The date was 8--8-08 and my locktician (formerly my braider) twisted in comb
coils that will be the genesis of my locks.

I shaved my permed hair off in June 1999 and have been wearing any manner of
natural hair styles since. Black Tresses was really a comfort to me in my
initial stages and I learned a lot from this list over the years.

I was torn over sisterlocks or traditional locks for the last couple of
years. I finally made the consultation appointment for the sisterlocks and
found
them to be prohibitively expensive.

I had set the appointment to go with the sisterlocks anyway but cancelled it
at the last minute (an oddity for me). After weighing all the pros and cons
of both locking methods, I decided that traditional locks would be better.

I plan to start up a Youtube channel to display and discuss my journey into
locking my hair. As soon as it is up, I will post a message here so that you
all may join me on my journey.

Until then, peace (but no more hair grease!)
