*These images aren't mine. They're from african tribes.org.* (see Afro Glitz online mag titled 'sisterlocks began in Africa').Visit them to see more and read about these obscure tribes that you don't often hear about.. I couldn't help but be struck with the similarities with sisterlocks! Wow! Is that where the idea came from? I must say I know next to nothing about these african tribes.(located somewhere between Ethiopia and Sudan)Although I'm a full African - West African,there are many tribes and cultures across the continent, and many are totally alien to me and I find the customs quite strange, but fascinating. I mean some paint their bodies and hair with a mixture of red ochre butter and herbs and I find it most intriguing.Where can I find that mixture I wonder...But just look at these intricate tiny locs. The woman with the baby looks like hers might be braids.

Amazing ... nothing new under the sun eh...btw your tag line is speaking to me, :)Bless you.
These are great pictures. I do love the hair and their skin is absolutely beautiful -- look at those kids' skin! I love the hair. Thanks for sharing.
They are beautiful!!
We are really beautiful Kittylocks.
love this!
Found you while doing a google search for DIY sisterlocks. I have seen tribes who wear these hairstyles in southern Ethiopia when we travelled there in 2007 and 2011 to pick up our two Ethiopian adopted daughters. My 8 yr old wears micro braids most of the time now and I am trying to decide if I should attempt a more permanent style. Great inspiration.
