Hair Issues

I'm on the prowl for a natural hair salon in Howard County , Maryland. It's not easy. My hair is currently in sisterlocs and I want to change to traditional locks. Why the change, for me - sisterlocks are a bit more expensive to maintain. Since I will be attending an predominately non-black college, i don't think it's going to be easy to find people to do my hair - I will have to end up driving to Maryland every four weeks. I rather not do all that if I don't have to....my co-worker just gave me he run down on doing it myself...get some beeswax and twist - then clip...I can I can handle that....we will see
