Pipe Cleaner Curls

Pipe cleaner curls rocks! I absolutely love curling my hair with pipe cleaners. On December 31, 2011 I rolled my hair with pipe cleaners, and here we are 2012 and I am still rocking my curls. Below are pictures of day two after taking them out, and I think the other photo was two days ago. I still have curls today, but I have been working out, and working at my Shop, so lets just say THEY NEED-A-WASHING!




My pipe cleaner curls attracted so much attention, this is one of my newer clients for style. This is the back of her hair. Lawd! I got lock envy, this beautiful lady has been rocking her Sisterlocks (tm) for 6 years, and started with 2 inches of hair. See ladies, patience pays off! (TM) I am going to ask her to send me some photos of her hair once she takes them out.



And remember my client that I installed Sisterlocks (tm) after she went to Jamaica and got what she thought was Sisterlocks (tm)... Take a look, I swear her hair grows like the little chic in that movie Tangled. She is still transitioning from perm, and I trim her everytime she gets a retight. She has maybe 1 -1/2 left of perm on top and I pretty much took the perm off in the back. She is loving her Sisterlocks (tm) and she got me with lock envy! Her locks are definitely one of my favorites.

Whew... Lot's and Lot's of Hair!

The above pics are right before me and my hubby went out to dinner... as you can tell, I needed a retightening. But its all good.

I have been doing a lot of sisterlocks, and I am loving every minute of it. This weekend is the Sisterlocks Revolution here in the DMV. I encourage everyone to attend if you can. I have an Ad for the Sisterlocks Revolution so hopefully I can gain more sisterlock newbies. I will post more pics of my clients soon. So look out for those, and of course I will be blogging about the Revolution.

Here is a peek of one of my clients that would normally color her gray. The beginning stages of sisterlocks are very crucial, so we are allowing the grey hair to grow in, and maybe within 6mos - 1yr I can give her the "OK" to color. For right now, we are just treating these locks like babies!



Oh... and one last thing... I rolled my hair up. This is the 3rd time that I have done that this year. I even surprised myself with the urge to do that. I am still rocking the curls, these pics are from day one, but I am rocking them going on a little over two weeks now. ENJOY!

Do you Mousse...

I am using a new mousse, and I love it. My hair is left soft with NO BUILD-UP! Not to mention the fact that it is was at a very economical price (under $4.00). I hate using anything that smells like it even has a hint of alcohol in it. While shopping at the beauty supply store, the second thing besides the price that caught my eye was that it was alcohol free. I also love using olive oil in my hair. The foam from the mousse comes out to a light olive green, I use just enough to rub through my hair. I didn’t overdo it either. Needless to say… I love this product.

I was experimenting with pipecleaners, this is I think day 4, after taking them out. I left them out, but curled together... it actually looked like I had traditional locks for two days. These pictures are when I finally sepetated that morning, and this is right before I left work yesterday

Needless to say… I love this product. Do you ever use mousse, and if so what kind do you use?

My 1 year locversary

On October 10, 2008 was my one year locversary. I am almost completely locked, especially in the back. I got a new job, one that is much closer to home. No more 2.5 hour commutes. I spent 5 hours out of my day just commuting back and forth to Baltimore. More pay is always a plus too. This is the first time that I did curls since March (I think). Hopefully they will last a long time.

I also celebrated my 28th birthday in September. I had a blast, but I think I am getting too old for the club scene. He is a pi from my B-day.

My bike was my B-day gift to my self.... Yah only live once right!
