I Need Curls!

You may have noticed in a number of my previous posts that I love curls. For the most part, around the time of my monthly re-tightening sessions, I also have a roller-set done. So far, the only method that has been done on my hair is setting with very small perm rods. I am usually happy with the results, but the curls don’t last that long on my hair and I would also want tighter curls. I’ve been researching other methods for a while, but I still haven’t decided the route I would like to take. So far, I’ve been thinking about Soft Spike Curlers and Wrap-A-Loc. Thanks to the likes of Brunsli and Goodnapps, I have been able to get good comparisons of both techniques…. I think I’m leaning toward Wrap-A-Loc for my hair length right now. As it grows longer, I might prefer a looser curl, maybe even Caruso, as BlaqKofi does so beautifully. I’ll be sure to post pics once I decide and also once I find my camera (I recently moved and have no clue where it might be :( ).

Things People Say About SLs

A few months ago, I ran across this post over at Goodnapps about the things that people say about SLs. It’s so hilarious that I had to share it (read the entire post here). At the same time, it’s sad that this type of ignorance exists rampantly in the world.

  • Excuse me, are those Sisterlocks?
  • You have Sisterlocks, no wonder they look like that.
  • I didn’t like them when you first got them done, but I like them now.
  • You have Sisterlocks? (dumbfounded look)…..oh.
  • I guess you don’t have beady beads no more.
  • She paid a lot of money to have her locks look like this.

Lesson Learned: Sometimes you gotta just smile and keep walkin.
