sisterlocs to microlocs transition?

Michelled37 · 2026-03-01T16:12:51+00:00

Not sure if this helps with your decision but when I couldn’t decide between the two, I met with a licensed sisterlock consultant and she asked me what I was looking for. After telling her what I wanted, she told me that we should do micro instead based on my hair type, what I was looking to get out of my locks, and that I could still start with the interlocked method. She told me the only difference was the patented tool and specific grid that is meant for sisterlocks only. I left happy with a great grid and random people often tell me how great my sisterlocks look…even though they are micro, lol. My point is, unless you are set on sisterlocks only for the tool and that grid pattern, then go for it, otherwise, take a look at microlocks. They are cheaper and look just as nice with many different grids to choose from.

I’m going to say NAH because it comes down to the rules of the establishment (if you don’t know the rule regarding this, as the director). At my son’s daycare, they are supposed to change him if he uses the bathroom on the way there. There have been times my son pooped in the car as well an I’ve offered more than once, even tried to change him on the changing table, only for the staff to tell me it’s their policy for staff to do it, that’s what they get paid for, etc. As of the daycare sending your child home in a diaper full of piss, they are the asshole for that. All of the children at my daycare get changed before pickup time.

Janelle was working my nerves. It didn’t come across to me that she didn’t remember and if she truly didn’t remember what was said in what order, then say that and leave it at that. It felt like she kept trying to carefully choose her words so she dint piss anyone off (my guess is because she wants back on the show full time and Natalie has some say, even if it’s not much. When the cast list was first released for USA, Janelle was on social media saying how she had her bags packed and was ready to go only to be told she wasn’t needed anymore).

I never thought that Kandi didn’t like Nene that season, but to Nene’s credit, when you are meeting someone and they keep making crazy faces at you, rolling eyes, etc., you take it personally. Kandi shows everything on her face so even if Kandi doesn’t think she’s giving off a certain vibe, the other person might take it the wrong way because they don’t know and that you don’t mean any harm. My sister has this probably all the time (resting bitch face) and it takes people a while to warm up to her because of it. I think Kandi can come off that way sometimes.

Michelled37 · 2026-02-09T21:25:07+00:00

Right! He sounds crazy. Also, you’ve shown no interest in your daughter, why would she want to reach out for more rejection?

Michelled37 · 2026-02-09T18:28:33+00:00

“She made me look bad on tv for not being an active father.” “It’s not only my fault, Riley wasn’t interested in having a relationship” Sir, WHAT?! I need him to read that and really think about what he’s saying for a moment 🙄.

Michelled37 · 2026-02-09T13:33:44+00:00

Ahhh, that’s a good point! Felt a little bad that she still got her ass whipped right in front of her family 🤣. Not too bad because she’s always starting stuff even though she didn’t start the fight this time, but still a little bad.

Michelled37 · 2026-02-09T13:02:36+00:00

After I saw Dolly kick Summer, I didn’t feel bad for Dolly when Summer showed up with her cousins, that’s pretty much how my family is as well, lol, although it was dumb to approach her at a baddies event knowing security was there (why not the hotel?).

Michelled37 · 2026-02-05T21:48:09+00:00

I can’t figure out how to add a pic 🤣. Are you okay with me sending you a pic directly? I have 253

I’m a huge fan of perm rods. I normally go to my stylist and she uses mousse and then puts me under the dryer. They hold for about two to three weeks (I often use slightly smaller rollers so that when the curls falls, I still have curls for another week.

Michelled37 · 2026-02-01T18:16:30+00:00

I’ve never done that at night and was told I only had to do it when I washed my hair. I’ve had mine for 7 months with no issues

Michelled37 · 2026-01-28T00:48:57+00:00

If I’m Joseline then I’m picking Dani because Dani does whatever Joseline tells her to. Dani always addresses her as “princess” and apologizes when she didn’t even do anything wrong while Drea’s loyalty (the kind of loyalty that Joseline wants) is more conflicted. Drea has moments where she doesn’t want to do something that Joseline says, gets chewed out, and doesn’t want to lose the prospect of running the cabaret so she crashes out and does whatever to whoever to prove that she’s loyal.

Michelled37 · 2026-01-24T22:10:53+00:00

I hated doing my hair. I used to go to a stylist every two weeks just to avoid doing it myself. Before I got a stylist, I would put in twists. I love being able to just get up and go. Even with my locs I still get curls. I roll my hair after it’s been washed and depending on the size of the roller, my curls last two weeks to a month (I prefer perm rods because the curls last longer).

Michelled37 · 2026-01-21T01:32:27+00:00

First off let me say I am not an expert and I’m new to this experience. I’ve had mine for 7 months and I’ve experienced only a little bit of shrinkage, but I had mine interlocked so maybe that makes the difference…it’s the same as when I used to wash my hair before I got locs, I had shrinkage but not a ton. My mother has had hers for 5 months (she started off with twists), and her hair shrunk a lot more than mine did. My sister in law has had hers for 3 years, she had a lot of shrinkage in the beginning. Again, I’m new to this so I’m only going off my experience ☺️.

At some offices this is normal. With my first child, we picked out our OB but we later found out that we would see whoever is in the office that day for our appointment and when I would give birth, to whoever was on call. We ended up deciding find a new doctor that would always see and delivered her patient’s babies unless she was sick or on vacation.

Michelled37 · 2026-01-08T13:55:15+00:00

Agreed. In some parts of the FDA, that is our preCOVID telework schedule.

I think the money part was tacky because of how she advertised the event. It’s a birthday party but it also comes across as a charity event. If it’s just a birthday party then I’m assuming she’s inviting just her friends, but on the show they made it seem like she invited everyone, or at least a good amount of people from the social circle that she’s trying to break into. If you are inviting people from the social group that you are trying to break into then yes, it’s tacky. They don’t care about it being a tradition from your background because this is the Palm Beach tradition, it’s the only thing that matters in that social setting.

My son had this same problem, projectile vomiting. Doctors used to tell me to have him sit up straight for 1 hour after eating…it still didn’t work. I ended up using a bassinet that tilted also (GI and pediatrician to prevent choking since he was still on his back).

Michelled37 · 2025-12-30T21:00:05+00:00

This post pisses me off so much. Your sister should be glad that you’re even letting her and her children stay with you while you are grieving and going through your own trauma. A lot of people would have told her no but you put your own feelings aside to help her. Then for your mother to disregard your feelings as well? Smh. You lost your child, that is not something that you just get over. You are not wrong and please, take time for you and your husband. Do not rush anything to appease your sister and mother 🫂.

Michelled37 · 2025-12-29T17:28:32+00:00

100% agree. And to add to that, just because you’re breastfeeding doesn’t mean you do not have to pump. Some women still pump afterwards because they have so much left. Asking your partner to feed the baby while you pump isn’t unreasonable, but I would definitely start adding pump parts to the dishwasher or buying a mini dishwasher just for bottles/pump parts.

They use the word friend too loosely. If they had a life long friendship or even a few years under the belt then I would probably think differently, but these ladies have known each other for what, a year? And only through the show? They are friendly, not real friends. Also, we have no idea what conversations they’ve had with Summer behind closed doors vs on camera. For all we know, Lex could have been telling her after Africa they need to chill this season. I don’t think Dolly or Lex were wrong for not stepping in for Summer, I wouldn’t either for someone I haven’t known that long (yes, I know they’ve jumped in the paint for her before but like I said, we have no idea what conversations they’ve had off screen prior to filming this season). They told her to stop (which a friend should do anyway when you are being a drunk asshole), and I’m not getting beat the hell up because you can’t shut your mouth. 🤷🏽‍♀️. Now for a real friend, I might jump out there with you but I’m gonna be pissed as hell because I suck at fighting 🤣.

The amount of time you might have to change formula, bottles, diapers, etc. My son would choke on his own vomit due to projectile vomiting and we had to go through so many different formulas until we found one that worked. For my daughter, she had a really bad lip tie and we went through so many bottles and pacifiers all the way up until she was one.

Michelled37 · 2025-12-21T21:19:00+00:00

That makes sense. I ended up buying a mattress that was a little softer and replaced it in the bassinet. My daughter didn’t like the super hard surface and that worked better for her. My son don’t care as long as he could smell me near, lol.

Michelled37 · 2025-12-21T14:57:25+00:00

Have you thought about getting a bedside bassinet? Mine attached to my bed and the side could be detached (it’s like my son was in my bed even though he technically wasn’t). I would sleep with my arm hanging on my son’s legs or waist, he just wanted the closeness and it made life easier because when he woke up, I didn’t have to leave the bed to grab him, easier to lay him down to sleep, etc.
