Sisterlocks/Family Gatherings All in One

My family is from Syracuse, New York. We checked around for Sisterlocks Consultants but there are none in that area active. My cousin who lives in Syracuse expressed her desire to get Sisterlocks. This is the first grandchild in my family and also my first cousin. My cousin let me put her first perm in her hair…nothing to brag about now, however I can now brag with pride that she let me start and join her on her Sisterlocks Journey this weekend. I’m very familiar with her hair and knew that her hair would love to be Sisterlocks. This was the perfect weekend for her and my Big Sister to drive from Syracuse and join our immediate family for a Father’s Day Cookout. They arrived Friday morning. After her and my Sister relaxed from the ride, we started around 3:00 PM … we decided to pace ourselves over the three day weekend since they were not leaving until Monday morning. My Sister is interested in learning the Sisterlocks technique so she observed the entire session to see if she would be interested in taking the class. I am truly trying to persuade her because we need all the Consultants we can get and especially since we didn’t find any upstate in the Syracuse surroundings. We really enjoyed ourselves during this Sisterlocks Session because my Sister and another cousin who lives in the area cooked and served us along with watching lots of Chick DVDs. As for her maintenance, we have committed to visiting each other more often and since we have a big family, there’s no problem with her getting in her car for 6 hours to spend the weekend with family. Her follow up will be the second weekend in July when my family and I visit Syracuse for the Nieces and Nephew Family Gathering given by my Aunt who is a Great-Great-Great Aunt. We have also scheduled her 1st Retightening for September. As a treat to herself and my youngest Aunt, they will be taking a train ride to Virginia…neither of them have never traveled by train.
