Hairstyle vs. Lifestyle
Hair style is the final tip-off whether or not a woman really knows herself.

In the documentary Good Hair, Chris Rock investigates the marvel of African American women and their hair. He attempts to sell African American hair, only to hear vendors tell him it’s not Good Hair. He interviews women who pay $1000+ for hair pieces and sacrifice family necessities to have Good Hair.
In 1993, Dr. Jo Anne Cornwell, Associate Professor at San Diego State University launched Sisterlocks, a trademark company dedicated to empowering women to embrace their cultural roots by rejecting chemicals and processes that negate the natural state of their hair. Sisterlocks is a natural hair management system which allows women with tightly textured hair to take advantage of a wide range of today’s hair styles without having to alter the natural texture of their hair. Rather than processing the hair to straighten it, Sisterlocks maximizes the natural characteristics of the hair.
Vivianne Pearson, Round Rock, Texas, noticed a co-worker’s hair about two years ago. She was impressed with what looked like tiny braids in a uniformed pattern, only to find out they were not braids but Sisterlocks. She recently returned from Atlanta, Georgia where she attended a four-day training to become a Certified Sisterlocks Consultant. Not only is she enjoying a life free from chemicals, but celebrates the money she is saving. I love educating African American women about how to embrace their natural beauty.
Sisterlocks is not about a hairstyle, it’s about a lifestyle.

yes embrace the natural beauty within by enhanceing it naturally!!!!
I have been Sisterlocked for 4 months now and it is the best decision I have ever made. I feel free now and I cannot tell you how good it feels to hear people say they Like MY hair. I have never been comfortable wearing my own hair, without a weave but now I am. Thank you for writing this article. I would love to share this gift with women around the world.
Great article!! Not only does Vivianne style the hair beautifully, she is very professional. I would definitely recommend her because everyone should experience Lock Couture at some point in their lives :-D
Sisterlocks are amazing!
Sisterlocks is a perfect representation of true hair freedom!! Here is how: Emotionally (not stressing about what I’m going to do with my hair, financially (I don’t have to spend money on weave and products that we think is good for our hair),time (getting Sisterlocks installed is timely but once you have them, the time you have with family and friend is endless). I could go on and on about the positive attributes of having Sisterlocks but I have to say my favorite is the versatility of Sisterlocks. Whatever you can do with a relaxed(chemically altered hair), you can do with Sisterlocks. Curl, flat iron, rods, cut, style and many more, you can do it!!!
I want to thank Yvonne for being so interested in Sisterlocks!! Thank you for the well written article, which shared the Sisterlock story with all of the Created Women out there. Thank you Dr. JoAnne Cornwell for sharing this gift with us.
