I am a natural and I want to wear twist extensions as my protection
hairstyle for the winter. I have put in my own twist and they came out
beautiful. Well, I want to know if anyone knows where I can find hair
for spring twists or sistwists. (They are very similar) It is a light
springy synthetic hair that is curly and you do a two strand twist and
the hair comes out curly and springy. I brought the hair from E-ON
natural hair store online, but they are not taking orders.

If I can get a website or a name of a store that sells this type of
hair I would be grateful.

Here is the link to the E-On store and you can get an idea of what I am
talking about.

Thanks.

Hey there,
 
Locks are great!
 
They really grew out like crazy this month.  They were a bit fuzzy at the scalp
so I tried to tighten them up a little, just enough until I am due for my
scheduled retwist next week.
 
I wasn't so crazy about the way it came out so I think from now on I will place
retwisting my locks in the hands of the professional.
 
All the best, to naps and success!

Well, with Sisterlocks, you can wash your hair as long as you bind
and braid, so I washed it for the first time this past weekend.
Fortunately, none of the locs unraveled. I would have cried if I had
to endure that long process again.

I had read somewhere about the witch hazel so I'm going to give that
a try, but I'm sure that the Sea Breeze feels nice with the tingling
sensation :)

How are you liking your locs?

Hello there,
 
I started locking on 8/8/08.  I have regular locks started by comb coils, and
not sister locks, however.  I had the same itching problem as you after the
first two weeks.
 
I had always heard that you can't wash your hair for the first 30 days after
initially locking and that to keep the scalp clear you needed Sea Breeze on a
cotton ball.
 
I did nothing to my scalp for the first week after my comb coils were instaled
and then started applying Sea Breeze to the areas of my scalp exposed by the
parts between the locks with a Q-Tip soaked in Sea Breeze.
 
By the end of the second week, I wanted to call on Jesus my scalp was killing
me! 
 
By the third week I was about to give up.  Before I doused my head under the
kitchen sink spigot, I decided to try a cotton ball instead of a Q-Tip to apply
the Sea Breeze.  It made a big difference!  Just after the first application,
the itching ceased. After the third day, I had no more problems.
 
When I went in early September for my first retwisting, my loctician suggested I
not use the cotton balls in the future for fear they would fray and the strays
of the cotton would lock inside my locks.  She also suggested I switch from Sea
Breeze to Witch Hazel but I will be completing my bottle of Sea Breeze (I am
using Sports Strength) before I make the switch.
 
I dug up an old "tip" bottle, the kind that is used when applying hot oil, from
my beauty supply stash.  I got it from the beauty supply store ages ago.  It
came with a replaceable rubber cap that surprising stops the Sea Breeze from
evaporating.
 
I pour the Sea Breeze from its larger bottle into the dropper "tip" bottle, I
turn the tip bottle upside down ever so gently so that the Sea Breeze drips out
at the base of my dreds, gently massage it in, feel the tingle, then lightly
mist my dreds with a water bottle, shake and go.
 
I have yet to have experienced the itching episode since applying the Sea Breeze
with the tip bottle.
 
Let me know if this works for you.
 
I would also be interested in hearing what the other members use for combating
itching in the locks.
 
Until then,
 
 
KC

Hi, I just had my SL installed on the 20th, it was a long 23 hour
process. Now, a week later, my head is itching so bad. How long
should I wait before washing it and does anyone have any styling ideas
that I could possibly try?

Hi,

Thanks for your  response. While reading it, it dawned on me that I didn't
address the fact  that she normally wears her hair braided (for the past
year).
We wanted to  give it a break this time since she's getting her school
pictures done  this Thursday. She's going back to braids but I thought there
was
some  other option we could try for a minute. I actually like her hair
texture
& the wave pattern she possesses but the "drawing-up- when wet" thing  occurs
and looks a bit dry. I'm going to research the curl activators out  there and
see if I can find something that will tame & moisturize her  hair is she does
a "wash & wear" style. Thanks again & I will  definitely visit your website.
Peace!

Hello,

Personally, I would not put any chemicals in your  daughter's hair.
Especially since she does alot of activities that causes  her hair to
sweat out. Wearing her hair naturally is the best option such  as
cornrows, twists, and braids. I would wear these styles with her  own
hair and not with added hair. I have a daughter and we both wear  it
naturally. This has worked tremendously. It keeps your hair  healthy,
full and long. For more information you could also visit my  website

I like it.  I've been smoothing my locs with a flat iron for years. I  have
straggly ends that pick on my shirts so I have flat ironed.  I have  stray
pieces of hair in the locs that grab a hold to moles on my neck and can be
painful to break away.

I think that with the natural state of our hair, heat wouldn't do as much
damage as it would if it were chemically treated.  I also think that all  this
is doing is smoothing the exposed layer - not deep down, changing the
structure of the hair.

Not sure I would buy one...but I like it.

Rest assured that if it alters the hair texture in any shape, form,
or fashion, then there's definitely harsh chemicals. There isn't a
chemical that's good for the hair that changes it from it's natural
state. I believe you may find that you love letting your daughter go
natural. And the benefits will be amazing, as well as the result.
She's 13 now, imagine the healthy head of hair she'll have as an
adult if you choose the natural route. I can't begin to tell you how
much I regret relaxing and using chemicals in my childhood and early
adult years. I love my beautiful fro and the attention I get-
negative and positive. The more I see black women balding or
spending excess at shops to maintain a perm, the more I fall in love
with my napptural crown of glory. For inspiration, go to
www.nappturality.com

was
some other option we could try for a minute.  I actually  like her hair texture
& the wave pattern she possesses but the  "drawing-up-when wet" thing occurs
and looks a bit dry.  I'm going to  research the curl activators out there and
see if I can find something that  will tame & moisturize her hair is she does
a "wash & wear" style.   Thanks again & I will definitely visit your website.
  Peace!

Hello,

Personally, I would not put any chemicals in your daughter's  hair.
Especially since she does alot of activities that causes her hair  to
sweat out. Wearing her hair naturally is the best option such  as
cornrows, twists, and braids. I would wear these styles with her  own
hair and not with added hair. I have a daughter and we both wear  it
naturally. This has worked tremendously. It keeps your hair  healthy,
full and long. For more information you could also visit my  website

My daughter's hair is like sponge after shampooing.  It requires much
heat (blow drying & flat iron/straightening) then thermal curling but
the humidity & sweating from gym everyday doesn't allow her hair to
last more than a few days.  In the past, I've tried relaxers but
swimming in the summer killed that option.  I don't know what to do

Congrats!  Keep us informed of the progress.  I love the date you  picked.
It always means more when you pick dates like the one you  picked.  I've
loc(k)ed for 10 years - the anniversary is July 4!

Namaste!

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!)

Hello Everyone,

I pray these lines find you and yours well.

I've posted two new entries into my journey to nubian locs blog.

http://journeytonubianlocs.blogspot.com/

Let me know what you think

Peace
Deatri
http://www.deewrites.com

I made the conscious change to locs right after Christmas 2007.  It's
now May 2008 and I feel like I'm in the "awful ugly" stage of them.  My
locs are not the conventional sisterlocks as they are approximately the
diameter of pipecleaners or smaller (around the hairline) and not as
closely placed as true sisterlocs because I started from kinky twists.
I absolutely love my locs, but want to beautify them while they are in
the transition stage (only 3-4 inches long) because I'm used to longer
lengths.  I'd love some ideas on hairstyles for short locs.  Thanks
bunches!

hello,

I am new to this is I do not know how to take care of my hair  it is a
short afo  I want to do twist curls something

I edited this newsletter to remove info that was not hair related.  Jamilah is
in the Atlanta area but I believe there are workshops scheduled in other states
as well.

Transitioning Hair: What to expect


Transitioning your chemically treated hair to natural is oneof the biggest
epiphanies one can make on their journey to change.  Not only are you in for a
beautiful head ofstrands that are thicker, more radiant, and a beautiful crown
reflecting God'sgift to you, but you are in for the most magnificent personal
journey of yourlife.  At the end of this journey, youare left feeling more
satisfied, at peace, healthy, beautiful, andaffirmed.  For me, making that
ultimatedecision and affirming 'I am not going to put any more relaxers, curls
or trendchemicals in my hair, anymore!' 'and meaning it'  unveiled love and
respect for myself, my hair,my spirit, my crown, and my body that were
immeasurable.

We contemplate and play with the idea in the mirror when wetake our braids out. 
We admiringly watchnatural sisters and brothers.  We imaginewhat we would look
like with natural hair, we may even buy a wig to help makethe vision real.  When
you finally move from'maybe I will' to I absolutely will', it is most important
to be prepared forwhat lies ahead in your journey.

The rules of thumb to remember is transitioning from chemical to natural hair is
a process.  Just like anything beautiful and wonderful, it takes precious time. 
The purpose of the time is for a true transformation to occur in the way we
approach our hair, our attitudes about how we look with nappy hair, our habits
towards our hair, other peoples perception of us, and who we truly are at the
end of the day.  Begin with the end in mind.  If your goal is to be chemical
free for health reasons, because you want your hair to be healthier, for style
reasons, or just because, have integrity in your choice! Do not be distracted by
fad hair styles, the newest chemical straighteners, or stylist with flashy and
"too good to be true" options.  Be gentle with yourself!  Be kind in how you
treat your hair! Be patient through the process. Keep this process very simple!
Understand that your hair will blossom to a head of hair that is miraculous and
a true reflection of
  beauty.  Hair that you finally accept, love, and adore. There is a great sense
of freedom and peace that comes from going natural.  Appreciate and experience
it fully!  For more information on natural hair products to help your hair
transition to healthy and beautiful hair, go to: www.saniyyahnaturally.com
