So I've grown tired of treating my hair with chemicals and heat and decided to try a more natural look. I started my transition to sisterlocks January 2011. 1st I started braiding and twisting my hair to start the natural process without doing the big chop. I would like a least 3 inches of new growth before I start to trim my hair. I know this process take a little longer than the Big Chop but it was easier that way for me. If sisterlocks is something you're thinking of doing then go for it and follow my journey to sisterlocks.
Typically you will only need at leas 2 inches of new growth to start the process. Gernerally the hair grows an average of 1/2 inch per month and in a year about 6 inches.
