Meet Paula, one of my favorite sisterlocked Facebooker’s. Let me warn you, Ms.Watson’s hair is beyond fabulous!

About my Hair

Where I live: I am a Jamaican living on the island of Saint Lucia.









How long have I been sister locked: I have had sisterlocks for 3 years 11 months (almost 4 years).

Hair before sisterlocks: I have been natural for most of my life, having been encouraged by family to keep it so. In wanting a change of hair style, I decided to cut it and wear it curly (wash and go with a little curl activator). After it grew out a bit, a friend of mine suggested straightening it and I took her advice and regretted the decision not long after. At first it looked great, I even colored it a few weeks later. But not being someone who likes to visit a hair salon regularly, my hair began to suffer. I don’t think during the short period I had straightened hair that I ever set it on curlers. Partly because of neglect and harsh chemicals, my hair began to break and fall off. I would find strands of hair on my pillow every morning. I got fed up one day and took a pair of scissors to it; the result was not a pretty sight. After this episode, the thought of locks started to take root.

Mother, sister, daughter, friend, child of God and wonderful young woman; Faby loves living life to the fullest! When an old college pal decided to return to the natural world with a fab and fierce hairstyle I had to share this with my sisterlocked family.

Faby is a mother, wife, and fierce business woman.

My earliest memory of Faby is this:

Fierce is she not? Well this was a few years ago.

So when Faby wanted a new look and was debating which hairstyle to go with... I had to cast my vote for the BC (big chop). Sometimes people will give double sided compliments about how good another's ultra short cut is and how "I could never carry off that look". Well, I have rocked a BC or two and I must say Faby's trumps them all (even mine). So with her permission I wanted to share the debut of her new look.

It is my second big chop and I am learning a lot about my hair. This time I am taking the time to get to know and love the natural curls that God gave me.
