Sisterlocks...She called my Sisterlocks Ugly, Cost, How Many Locks Do I Have?

[@journeymylocs8702]

The same people that turn their nose up at you...are the same ones that will ask for your loctician later on...your sisterlocks are gorgeous and your grid is on point!!

[@newhites29]

Exactly. I've been suggesting sisterlocks to my friends and fam for a while now. They're always slow to catch on to a good thing. Watch this space, they'll be asking me the who what where in a year. They always do.

[@TheCozyCornerWithAliphia]

Thank you so much! I have had to learn to be respectful to my aunt when she says things I don't like, but if she weren't my aunt, she would definitely get an ear full, lol.

[@Niaimani92]

You’re hair is beautiful! I’ve gotten all kinds of unwanted feedback on my hair and how much I paid for it. I’ve been called bougie and everything else. I really don’t understand why the cost of Sisterlocks are such a big deal. It’s a one time payment. They are permanent. You don’t see people judging others for dropping stacks on bundles that they will eventually have to throw away !

[@TheCozyCornerWithAliphia]

Exactly! It's okay to invest in something that is not attached to you, but your own hair, oh No! You can't spend too much, a mess. Thank you so much!

[@angleeceiasorrentino]

Amen, preach

[@amberdenisetv1232]

Right!!! Like add up the wigs, weaves, braids, products and all the other stuff that ppl pay for pertaining to hair and the cost of sisterlocs doesn't seem bad to me at all!!🤷🏾‍♀️

[@loveylocbivens1397]

I've probably paid more than that for weave, braids, perms, and going to the salon every 1 to 2 weeks...

[@jazziejazz8162]

I’m 3 months in and I must admit it was a bit of a confidence struggle, but it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It’s about embracing your natural beauty and self confidence, a lot of women struggle that#BlackGirlMagic👸🏾

Gotta love people and their commentary that you didn't ask for 🤣. You are BEAUTIFUL, and you were before and after your locs. You're happy and that's all that matters. What you choose to do with your funds (and I find supporting other women owned businesses to be awesome) is your business. After my install I felt what my consultant went through was worth every red cent because only love will make you spend that kind of time helping another person do something that tedious 🤣.

[@engrmom98]

I just got my sisterlocks at the end of April and I learned quickly who to share my journey with and who not to share it with. The funny thing is it's usually the people who have no business talking about anybody else's hair. I chalk it up as part of the journey and there's some things only the sisterlocks community will understand. Your hair looks great. Keep sharing your progress with us.

[@TheCozyCornerWithAliphia]

Thank you and I definitely will continue sharing. Honey, I have learned to look over my aunt and her negativity.

[@cfarlow417]

Your locks are beautiful! Always remember that everyone won't celebrate your decisions; but, guess what? They're YOUR decisions and as long as you're happy with them, that's all that matters. This journey is about you, your hair, and your progress. Enjoy your journey. Looking forward to mine...

[@thecreativelady1908]

Girrrrrlllll. . . where do I begin? I had a feeling the Southern Ladies were gonna have the opinions that you shared. I'm sure you handled your aunt with as much respect and grace as you could while she was not considering YOUR feelings. I understand your reasoning for not sharing the cost because folks can always find their way into other folks' pockets. As you said, you don't need anyone approval or opinions, family or strangers. I am so annoyed cuz you know I understand. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. And if you decide to comb them out tonight, that's your business. We all have this one life to live and must live it how WE see fit. People trip me out casting judgement on others as if THEY'VE lived life according to other people's expectations. . . and if they did, too bad for them. Anyhoo, thanks for sharing. Enjoy this new journey!

[@TheCozyCornerWithAliphia]

I simply told her that I love my hair and that is all that matters.Baby, believe me I have to hold back on that woman because she really makes me want to say some things to her at times. I was actually shocked that my mom only had something to say about the cost because I was expecting her to say something about how they look but she didn't. Thanks for all of your continued support.

[@darlenerivera6254]

Hi. I've enjoyed watching you do your makeup I didn't know you'd loc'd your hair. First,. I love you sisterlocks. As your locs grow and mature its going to take on a whole different look, size and style. I've had sl for 5 yrs now.. there's so much I want to say after watching your video, but I don't want to type a book. When I think about the price I paid for my locs and the price I continue to pay for my retightens which is every 7-8 weeks. The trade off is worth it. I'm no longer trapped in the wig weave world. I was truly a prisoner. I wouldn't leave the house without some type of vice on my head. So the freedom to rock my natural hair is priceless. I love seeing starter loc's. I miss the look. Enjoy it. In a few years your going to look back at your videos and be like wow. If only I knew then what I know now. Also family and friends are the worse, strangers are going to show you some much love. You'll see.. and they also like to put their fingers in your hair. Watch out for that. Enjoy your loc journey. I burst with joy every time I see us natural hair sisters.

[@TheCozyCornerWithAliphia]

Thank you so much, and I am definitely enjoying this journey. I have had a colleague to mess with my hair, but she also did that while I was a loose natural, ugh! Anywho, I appreciate the support and I hope you will stick around throughout this journey with me.

This video has been extremely helpful to me. I’m getting my locs in about 2 weeks and I too have experienced that thing of overthinking the price, and accepting the commitment. I’m glad to know that I’m not the only person that has second guess the cost and idea of doing something so permanent. Sooooo thank you . And you’re exactly right , I’m paying for my locs and what someone else says or thinks really doesn’t matter as long as I’m satisfied... thanks sis!!!!!

Glad it was helpful! Just go for it, you are worth it! I am glad I moved forward with getting my hair done.

[@ThePreciousfab]

It doesn't matter much what others think, but it will take a while for some folks like your aunt to get it and perhaps others. In the beginning it looks thinner and then fills out. It's beautiful nonetheless!

[@TheElleFactorAgain]

Your locs are gorgeous.🤩 Hopefully that itching will stop after a while as the scalp detoxes itself.

[@TheCozyCornerWithAliphia]

Thank you, and that itching actually passed the same day. I think I had my head filled with thinking it would itch a lot because of the videos I watched.

[@susanthomas7848]

I wish I could talk to you directly because everything you have mentioned in this video is so similar to my situation. Sis; all I can say to you is that everyone that had something negative to say to you about your hair will truly truly be eating humble pie when your hair starts to mature. Please take my foolish advice and stick this out you will not regret your decision please please please 🙏🏾 trust me!... I had my sisterlocks installed on my birthday of October 2017, and some of my friends in the office was so negative when they saw it a couple of days afterwards and told me I waisted my money (because I believe the locticians charged based on the length of your hair). Anyway my colleagues where geering me saying all sorts of things like "It's a lie! How could anyone pay someone to do something like that to your hair?' But believe me almost two years on my hair journey I get Men and women stopping me DAILY!! Shop assistants, all walks of life telling me how AMAZING my hair looks to the point that I'm giving out my loctician's number on a daily basis. I've had to apologise to my loctician and tell her you may have random people calling you because I always get stopped and people ask for her number. Sis my last piece of advice to you is PATIENCE... I cannot stress to you how important that is because it wont happen overnight it is a gradual process but ☝🏾a process you will truly truly appreciate. Ooh and one more advice; less is more. Who ever created that impression knew what they were talking about , all you need to maintain your hair is Rosewater and vitamin E oil that's it ☝🏾 nothing more nothing less. I've subscribed because I want to see your journey. All the best 😘
