How to do a Sisterlocks™ : Flat Twist mohawk

Today we are taking it back to Sisterlocks™ and I will be explaining how you can achieve a quick , easy but fierce mohawk for any occasion . Sometimes as women we become super heroes and multitask all the drama that life throws at us so getting to a Stylist is just not an option . This quick style can be done by just about anybody ... I promise.

Step 1: Divide your hair into two sections , one at the top and another on the bottom . This distinction should have you seeing hair on the top and hair on the bottom. ( As you can see in the pic above)

Step 2: Begin to "part out sections" . With Sisterlocks™ , you hair has already been parted into small sections , so simply take small stands out to create a straight line .

Step 3: Take a good amount of hair , and begin to do flat twists . Flat twists are quite similar to corn rows , in that they both lay flat and closer to the scalp . The difference with flat twists is that , you need two strands instead of three.

Step 4: Take a black or clear rubber band to secure the hair . The rubber band should be placed at the middle of the twists and the ends should be left out. Do this for several other twists as big or small as you like

Step 5 : Add your favourite hair accessories and go !

This quick style is versatile and can be worn in so many different ways . You can do the front and leave the back out and curled or you can do it from the sides as shown in the picture . The choice is really yours based on how your interpret it.

Good Ole' Jamaican Cerasse Tea

Good Morning Beauties :-) It is a brand new week, forget about what happened last week because you get a chance to rectify everything that went wrong and set new goals . It's been a while since i spoke about Jamaican remedies/products and what better day than today.

Cerasse Tea  , also known as "bitter Melon", is a bitter high odor tea that is consumed at breakfast in most rural homes in Jamaica or in homes of people from rural backgrounds . I remember as a little girl my Grandmother would literally force me to drink this tea whenever i visited her and if i drank at least half a cup , my reward would be sugar :-)

Cerasse Tea has so many benefits that we may or may not even know about . See benefits below :

• Blood Cleanser
• Sugar control agent for Diabetes
• Relieves Headaches and Migraine
• Fights Flu
• Prevents Cold
• Good for joint aliments
• Liver Complaints
• Calms Nerves 

Cerasse Tea can be sweetened with sugar , honey or even maple syrup and can be served hot or with ice. I literally can't image how it would taste cold but with all the people i consulted regarding this , they told me it's quite refreshing.

Back in the day , Cerasse was only found in the rural parts of the Island in fields where it had to be picked and was only accessible if you lived in those regions. As the years went by more people became aware of its many benefits and it became more "commercialised" and can now be found in Tea Bag form in almost all Supermarkets . Most of the older people believe that this waters down its full potential ... but some say it's a lot easier than going to a field , picking it , then brewing it for several minutes. As i always say , sometimes the best cures and remedies are right here in our backyards , we just have to really look , research and experiment.

First Follow–up: Re–tightening Session

The Journey is starting to get even more exciting.  It is now time for your first follow up visit with your newly installed Sisterlocks®  Based on the information you received in the “Starter Kit” , you would have noticed that you were advised to schedule your visit when you have shampooed your hair at least two times ( usually a month from the time your locks were put in)

This is where your consultant will test the integrity of your locks and will have an idea of how long the settling process will take. This is in essence a re- tightening session so be prepared to be in the salon for most of the day.

At this stage , you will be able to discuss Styling Tips and also what look is right for you. As it relates to On-going re-tightening sessions , try to schedule them for 4-6 weeks intervals. By doing this your Consultant will be able to carefully monitor your hair . I cannot stress this enough , It is imperative to follow the instructions of your Consultants as it relates to visits and care .
