The beginning
Have a good weekend everyone and thanks for the compliments!
I started my Sisterlocks with barely an inch of natural hair tipped with some wispy permed ends that I refused to let Nikki my consultant in London cut off completely! I confess to wearing a wig for the first 6 weeks, I was traumatised by so much scalp showing. I kept looking at Nikki's beautiful strong shoulder length locks and could not imagine how mine could EVER look like that. I am posting some 'early days' photos for you to see. Notice how the hair has thickened and matured.
Back in Ghana on Christmas holidays 2002, reactions to the 'starterlocks' ranged from my twin sister Amba's 'What are those? I want some!' to 'what are those UNTIDY things in your hair? Are they PERMANENT? Are they DREADLOCKS? And a myriad of questions. Noone was unmoved by them! lol.
My connection's timing out today(some of the hassles of living here!) so I will quicky post this and put in the photos later.
