When i first decided to get sisterlocks about 3 years ago it wasn’t as popular as it is today. Now it seems, wherever i go i must see at least one head of locks. I am somewhat put off by this because i always viewed getting sisterlocks as doing something unique. Something very few people knew about. I feel as though it is slowly gaining the status of relaxed(texturized) hair.
I should be ecstatic though that more women are sticking to their natural roots…but part of me cannot release the idea that I’m just one of a hundred perhaps even thousands. The only comfort left to me is that no two sets of sisterlocks are the same. Like your fingerprints your locks are unique. Of course you could also add your personal touch by colouring your locks, which once again may put you apart from the pack.
Despite the amount of persons with sisterlocks however, there are still the few unenlightened, and i am proud to be part of a movement that causes persons to be proud of their heritage….proud to be black and proud to have “natty,kinky, bad hair”….
It is more of a grey issue than one of simply black or white. There are no clear-cut feelings or answers. I both hate and love the sisterlocks movement. Treasures soon reveal themselves and this one has come out of hiding.
