34) No, you can't have locks just like his or hers!

You can go to the same lock stylist, use the same products and use the same locking techniques, but I guarantee you one thing........your locks will never look like another person's locks. Over and over, you will find blogs, websites and facebook postings where individuals type, "I am on my natural hair care journey!" One journey principle is.......your locks are about you and what assets were bestowed onto you! Be grateful; enjoy what you got, when you got it!!

32) Please believe that you have can have beautiful locks and a corporate job too!!

During consultations, I spend a lot of time telling very beautiful and intelligent women that they can and WILL look professional after installing locks. They look at me and think that I can not relate to their work environment. However, they are so, so wrong. I have a "good job" and rock my locks too!!
