New Consultant

Next week I am scheduled to get my hair retighten by my new consultant. My new consultant (Jeannie) asked me to come in so she could get a better idea of what my needs were and to inspect my sisterlocks. Jeannie says my sisterlocks were doing great but wanted to know what pattern my previous consultant used to start my locks. I was unsure so I called my Los Angeles consultant and she advised me that she used the #4 pattern. Once I conveyed this information to Jeannie she said that she disagreed, and in her opinion my current pattern looks more like a #3 pattern. I asked her how she came to that conclusion, she says that my pattern has holes in some of the locks and that is usually how the #3 pattern looks. In her opinion the #3 pattern is used for people with fine hair and the holes will eventually fill in , but it makes fine hair look fuller. I was worried and thought my previous consultant did something wrong, Jeannie assured me that I was okay, but she thinks that a #4 pattern would fit my hair texture best ( I have kinky, nappy, fully textured hair). I asked her if the #3 pattern would ruin my sisterlocks and she said it would not be a problem. Can you believe there is only ONE sisterlock consultant in St. Louis!!!!! Jeannie is the only one....as you can imagine she stays busy.


The first day of my new job, a sistah came up to me and asked me if I had sisterlocks. I was so excited that someone knew what type of locks I was representing. She says she wants sisterlocks but see seems kinda hesitent. I am sure after she sees my sisterlocks growing and looking better everyday she will be ready to get all loc'ed up.


My hair is growing quite nicely and is filling in at a fast rate. I love my sisterlocks and they love me back.
