I was ready. Let me tell you how Saturday went…
10AM: I was trying to style my hair for a very important event and my Sisterlocks were not cooperating. I must have tried about 3 styles before I decided to just wear them down.
11AM – 3PM: Thoughts to myself… “I can’t wait to cut my hair…”
4PM: Thinking to myself again… “Hmmm I wonder if I just cut some in the back…?”
8PM: I cut one Sisterlock in the middle of my head. Then, I sent a message to TB and told him I am going to cut my hair off tonight. He was really supportive and encouraging of my decision.
9PM: I cut another Sisterlock in the front thinking that if I cut one in the front area there would be no turning back. After I cut it, I combed it out and it actually blended so I could have stopped there…but I didn’t…
10PM: I cut three more Sisterlocks in the back row and tried to comb them out. It was pretty difficult. Then I decided to leave them along and cut myself some bangs…please don’t ask what give me this thought…
10:30PM: I took a large portion of hair in the front and attempted to cut bangs. I ended up cutting them too short and they were sticking up like a Cow-Tonuge, lol. Needless to say I had to cut them all, so I went scissor happy!
11PM: All but two of my Sisterlocks were on the floor and I had a mini-Sisterlock fro.

I am really inspired by your Big Chop. Lately I have been considering taking down my sisterlocks and restarting them but I think I’ll do the big chop and go afro for a while. I found this loctician in my area who does traditional locs and I think if I’m locking my hair again, it’s going to be traditional locs.
…wishing you lots of success on your next journey.

I just unraveled my locs too. They were traditional locs mid back length and it took me about six weeks. How would you compare your sister lock experience to your traditional loc one?

Traditional locs is a lot more freedom. There were too many restrictions for me with Sisterlocks, hence how I ruined them with all that I was doing lol.
