Hello to all!!
I am proud to announce that I have officially completed my very first sisterlock installation this past Thanksgiving weekend!!! I was really nervous because my mentor/consultant was out of town, along with everyone else who works in the shop. So I had nobody there to coach me, but it all turned out good.
I did have a little trouble doing this clients hair only because she had thinning hair which made it kind of difficult to determine the right parting size to use, even though the sisterlock trainer gave us instructions on determining correct parting sizes. But I'm also thankful she didn't have a head full of hair like I do; otherwise it would have taken a very, very long time
All in all, it took 16 1/2 hours to complete this installation. She seemed pleased with the results, especially with how her hair line turned out. She was concerned with what the sisterlocks would look like around her receding hair line, but she was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
Another thing I appreciated about this client, was the fact that she knew the sisterlocks wouldn't come out looking like full luscious locks at first. She completely understood the amount of scalp that would be showing during the first couple of weeks of having sisterlocks. I thank her for her understanding and knowledge of the sisterlock system!!
I'm becoming more and more excited about this new journey in my life. There are more and more people interested in getting sisterlocks now that they know I'm a official trainee. Now I feel as though I truly represent sisterlocks, and with that, I'm beginning to take more of an effort in promoting the true versatility that sisterlocks offer. What I mean by that is I'm putting in an effort in styling my hair different ways so that people can see that having sisterlocks can be like having "normal" (for lack of a better word at the moment) hair. I'll post some pictures of the hairstyles that I've been trying later
