I used to say that Sisterlocks can boost your self esteem, but I have found that when I consult with women that self esteem really comes from a different place. It can not be packaged in a bottle or purchased. You cannt hum your way to seld awareness. Affirmations I love very much but even this alone will not build your inner self. Your value comes from actions that you very well. Self esteem comes from doing the things that are important t you and mastering them.
When I first started my career in natural hair, I was horrible. I was scared to try new techniques, afraid of my clients, afraid of failing. Fear Fear Fear! But I knew that I want to master it. It meant being an instrument for self expression in it natural form. Doing natural hair was correct for me both spiritually and physically. so I kept at it. I put energy consistantly t the affirmation" I am a master hairstylist" and eventually styling became secnd nature for me. I work fast, i work creatively, I work with excitement of the finished product.
Do you think it made my self esteem rise? You bet! My self esteem climbed because I accomplished something and my words(affirmations) became flesh (wonderful natural hair styles and happy clients). Focus on your abilities and enhance them. Nuture and grow what yu desire to become. Its not the lipstick the hair. It is about the part of you that cannot be given to others.

Save Your Daughters
Your daughters look to you for examples of beauty, self esteem, ambition. We teach them how to be woman, we show them how to love who they are There is nothing more honorable to than to have my daughters love who the are. Nappy is not a curse word in my home, We love every tight curl on our heads, We are just comfortable with what we a naturally given I am glad my kittens do not have to suffer trying to be something they never will me. Tell your daughters they are beautiful-Not just the wavy-haired kittens, but our tight afro kittens too They need to heard that they are worthy How many of us have gone through most of our lives thinking we were ugly and based this though on the standards of what we are not, nor could ever be.
Your girls have a real chance to create the lives they wish, free from doubt
Think about it

Do what you want
Thanks for all the good feedback for my new pics. I wanted to show more crativity with sisterlocks. I am little tired of the braid-outs and roller sets I just decided to be inspired by my own features. There is nothing european about me so I thought, what the heck, why not take it all the way home to Africa and rep my species to the fullest. These days I make no excuses for who I am-you can feel it when you see me that I am "different" and this works for me.
I can explore who I am because I am not tied down to a man I don't have to check with him to see if he likes this or that, I just do what feels good to me and its great being on this side of the fence. Surpression is not a cup I drink from and there is nothing better than being in total control of your life

more inspiration
I really can't express how important it is to me to be the best representation for black woman. Hair is so personal, spirtual, romantic, and sexual. We are living in a great time right now,we have options. You don't have to feel afraid of being "natural" anymore. I often hear woman say,"I don't have the face for natural hair!" Can someone expain what the "face" for natural hair looks like, for to me, if you were born with it, then you have the face for natural hair. Get it! You guys start taking some time to explore who you are and how you want the world to see you. If you have locks rep it to the fullest. Show our young girls that its not a sacrafice to have sisterlocks or any natural style. We can still be high fashion and sexy as hell, but the best part is that its yours! Show the woman in your community that its better on this side of the fence!!!

Take you sisterlocks to the next level. Explore different looks, you never know what you turn into. Here I feel like the Goddess that I am. Many stares I got from this but its all good. Sisterlocks will provide you with whatever you need in terms of versatility, sex appeal, low maintainence. What are you waiting for!

I'm back
Oh how I've missed you guys so much. I have been going through major transitions and I have so many pics to share but I lost my usb cord to upload the darn thing. Anyway they're comin just bare with me.
How i everyone feeling these days. I hope your Sl journey's are serving you well. I am having more fun with mine than ever before. I did get a little burnt out of the same ole roller sets and I just couldn't take that farrah faucet flip thing I had been doing for a while. Im African damn it! So I've been doing moe hawks and standing pin curls-anything that sticks straight up off my head. People have been staring and I do make conversation with so many people now. I love the attention.
I hope you guys are taking care of yourselves both inside and out. No junk food, eat light at night and drink your water too.
I have been going through some serious transformations on a meta physical level, Theres so much to share and I hope you all don't try to have me locked up for the things I'll be sharing.
For now, I want to say that we are manipulating our hair for more than vanity reasons. We want to be and feel youthful. we want to go back to our childhood, to the care free days of hopscotch and double dutch, shell top Adidas and red hots, hide and go seek and all the things we did before life hardened us. Who doesn't want eternal youth? I know do, and I know the secrets of ancient Egypt and what the Queens did for vitality. But we must first purge ourselves from male dominance. Everything we have been taught to feel and think about ourselves is from a males perspective. From the Adam and Eve story we were taught that women were liars, con artists, lacking morality, incapable of being loyal.
You don't have to cash that card in if you don't want to. You can choose to take ownership of what you think of yourselves. I've said it before and I'll say it again, its more than a hairstyle we are seeking. We are bonded by the fact that we wanted to represent something real more true to who we are as woman.
Know this women. You are the portal that brings humans here from the spirit world. the "Gate Keepers". Your womb is the "Nothingness" that brings "Something" into existence. You are the makers of men, so don't be ruled by them.
For all of you who are still shaky about locking your hair, afraid of what your spouse might think, maybe of what your family will say. I say, don't waste energy subjugating yourself to your own creation. Your feeling are nothing more than past experiences with bits of nonfactual predictions of what the future maybe. Learnt behavior, that's all feelings are, and you can change your anytime your ready.
Apprehension, fear, anxiety are usually the constructs of emotions we feel when we surrender our divinity to the will of others(MEN)
NO MALE BASHING INTENDED!!!
If you can think of any of your girlfriends going through hard times, I bet that 99% of the problem is male based.
We have to take control and regain the splender we once had as Goddesses.
So let's start with the HAIR!
