I'm happy to say I won another prize. The prize was the "Sisterlocks Moisture Treatment" in the New Formula. Anyway check out the blogger Nokidding Sisterlocks, she is a trainee, and she is always giving away services or items ( Sisterlocks Moisture Treatment is an example).
I still have some of the old formula left and will do a review post on the new formula sometime in January of next year, since I plan on going to Quebec City in late December, and I think that is a nice time to test this product out.
As you can see, I did use the sisterlocks moisture treatment when I had dry damage locks. It has taken a back seat now due to my homemade moisture spray. Will try finishing it this fall.

As you can see, it's now in a new color font, and has a star to indicate the new formula.
Comparing the new vs. the old. The new one has way more ingredients added. Don't know if that is a plus or not.

My sisterlocks got more even and that all I can say about that. I achieve one of my goals from last year, and that is healthy growing locks. I still have stickies, and my sisterlocks are not completely shoulder length yet. Next year for sure I get my shoulder length locks *determined face*.
Year 3
This is 3rd year photo. My sisterlocks appears to still be in the SHOOTING PHASE or Adult Stage still. Not much to brag about as far as growth is concern.
Year 2
I decided to just compare from last year, and as you can see, my locks just grew more evenly, and it currently not at the shoulder length I was hoping for (unstretch).
Year 3
The back has grown more evenly as well. Look more thicker then last year for sure. The back right now bend constantly and just pokes my neck.
Year 2
I see a lot more fizzyness in this pictures vs this year for sure.
Unhealthy Thinning Hair
My hair went through some major thinning years ago, and this is the before picture of one of the area. I took Biotin
, and Jamaican Castor Oil
& Other EO
to combat this. You can find the recipe for hair growth here.
Healthy Hair Once Again
Thin area is getting ticker and healthier again at year 3. My grid is looking better every time I go for a new retighten so I assume my consultant is trying to maintain it as much as possible. Love her!
Looser Hair At The Back
This took close to three years to lock. This is a before pictures of the back of my head. I had so much issue with the back of my hair with it constant unraveling and slippages.
Finally LOCKING
The back of my hair at year 3. It is finally locking.. hooray. Less slippages and unraveling means less time in the chair. All smile over here.
Straight Parts (Grid)
Grid pattern & part are still intact after 3 years. The square are more apparent when I just had a retighten done.
My product line still hasn't change. I still
use my homemade moisturizing spray, which I need to use once every two week (during the summer months I hardly need it) , or
after I wash my hair.
1) Drying time. My sisterlocks use to dry much faster without a dryer, and now it seem that a dryer is becoming a much needed item for longer locks. When I do braids out or even add curlers to my locks, it now takes more than 12 hours to dry (and that is without the dryer).
To speed up the drying time after washing my hair, I would first dry my sisterlocks for a couple of minutes in the dryer, before I even do one single plats or add the curlers. If I don't do that, it will take at least 10-12 hours to dry. It’s frustrating when you spend 10-20 min doing plats and your locks are still damp in the morning (*ugh*).
2) Thickness. My thickness is gone when I don't have a braid out or curls. When my hair was a newbie, I use to love how thick and full it was while straight. It had those nice little curls at the end that I really made them different & unique. Now for the most part the curly ends are gone.
3) Speed. I really miss how fast it was to add curlers or even do plats on my sisterlocks for a style. I have been lazy lately because of how long it now takes to do plats or add curlers on my hair.
I now understand why my consultant hardly does anything with her hair. It must take forever to put curlers on her long sisterlocks, and I imagine the drying time is a beast.
4) Color. I really miss my auburn color, but I refuse to bleach my sisterlocks in order to get that color. So far I have been using my color spray off and on when I have a bout of color-sick (new word. Like homesick ^_-).
I love the jet black color because my sisterlocks looks so much heather in that color, so even though I miss my original color, I still be sticking with my current jet black. I have been tempted to try the color purple
(temporary spray) since it look so hot.5) Washing. I LOVE washing my hair, but man the amount I use to shampoo and condition my hair has me going through bottles like nobody business. I can see why my consultant washes her hair once a month. I miss those days when a medium size drops would take care of the washing for the day. Now I use two medium size drops (twice) to really get a nice soapy action.
These are the many things that I miss, but I have a lot of thing that I don't miss, and I will share some of that in my future anniversary post.
