I won’t go into a full review of this event since it happened almost three months ago. I did want to finally share my photos from the event. It was so nice to be around so many sisterlock rockers. And I must say, I’ve never gotten so many compliments on my hair. Ever. Most people I know in real life don’t comment on my hair at all. So it threw me for a loop. People stopped me to take photos. It was nice, especially since I’ve been silently…and now not so silently agonizing over how it’s coming along.
The best part was running into a blog reader (Hey girl!) who had been reading before she decided to get installed. She said I was one of the reasons she decided to pull the trigger. That touched me deeply. Just when you think no one is reading.
Her baby locks are lovely, aren’t they?
Another highlight was running into the first woman I met that had sisterlocks. They still look absolutely gorgeous.
She locked up her baby too. Adorbs! She participated in the hair show at the Revolution.
She wasn’t the only locked little one in the house. My heart melted at this little diva. Can you imagine what her locks will look like by her teen years?
She gets it from her Mama, the lovely lady on the right…standing behind the equally lovely lady with the most stunning locks.
Great running into more women I talked to when I was researching. Her journey has been amazing.
Sisterlocks are beautiful. I’m so glad to be part of this sisterhood regardless of whether my locks fall into what’s considered “the norm.”
Sitting in on a styling class with Sisterlocks creator, Dr. Joanne Cornwell.
Another highlight was meeting this lovely lady after checking our her vlog. Her hair in the last video she posted is gorgeous. The way it falls and frames her face. I love it. She’s even more stunning in person and this up-do is every single thing!
Hope you enjoyed these and are inspired to lock on with your bad selves!
Continue to love and embrace the bend of your hair!

You are making me rethinking skipping the Explosion here this weekend. I figured my babies may be too new for me to really benefit from it. Hmm. And your hair looks great in these pictures!!!!

No, you should definitely go so you can see what the future holds! 🙂 And to connect with other lock rockers. There will be ladies at all stages there. Your hair doesn’t have to be mature to attend. You’re not letting them style your hair or anything.And you may come across some accessories that you can put aside for later or even now. The benefit of attending is that the vendors should have products geared towards us and our needs. You don’t get much of that at natural hair shows in general.
Thank you lady!

Do you happen to know the young lady in your pictures that did the trim/cut wearing the glasses? I’m looking for someone to clean my locks up.
Thank you

Sorry, I don’t. But she is likely listed on the SL website in the DC area.
