What are Sisterlocks™?
Sisterlocks are tiny uniform locks that are the product of using precise partings all over the head. A specialized tool is used to manipulate the parted hair into its locking arrangement. The small size locks allow the hair to be easily styled.
What styles can I wear my Sisterlocks?
Sisterlocks are slender and light which means you can wear any variety of hairstyles as your hair grows – loose and freestyle, braided, curled and creative updo’s. The size of your locks and the precise parting allow you to be very versatile with how you style your hair.
Do I need to cut my relaxed hair?
No, you don’t have to cut your hair. Sisterlocks can be started with your relaxed length left untouched as long as you have at least 2 inches of natural hair at the root. As your hair grows, and is set into a locked pattern, your relaxed hair will be trimmed away.
How long will it take to start my Sisterlocks?
Your initial locking session will depend on the length and density of your hair, and the size of your head. We can give you an approximate time frame at your consultation.
Can I add extensions to my Sisterlocks?
Sisterlocks uses your natural hair. Some people add extensions but this added weight will put extra tension roots. Over time, this tension may lead to permanent hair loss. With Sisterlocks, your natural hair is free to grow to its fullest potential – free flowing and healthy.
What should I expect from a Certified Sisterlock Consultant?
Expect a caring and knowledgeable professional who will offer you an initial consultation, install test locks, arrange a locking session, provide a follow-on visit and regular re-tightening sessions.
Is my hair type right for Sisterlocks?
Black hair types vary in density, porosity and curl lengths and each type will use a different Sisterlock technique. The techniques follow the natural curl pattern of highly textured hair to promote growth. Hair with the smallest, tightest curl pattern will lock quicker than hair with a smooth, open curl pattern.
Are Sisterlocks™ permanent?
During the first 6 months of development, before your hair as locked, Sisterlocks can be removed. Removal will likely take more time, and be more costly than your Initial Locking Session. You should be sure that the Sisterlocks method is right for you.
How do Sisterlocks differ from other locks?
Sisterlocks are true locks (a matting of African, kinky, tightly curled
hair) and they differ from dreadlocks or traditional locks in the technique used to form them. Sisterlocks uses a precise parting grid, and a tool to produce small easily styled locks. Sisterlocks does not use any waxes, gels, creams, glues or hair extensions – there is no added weight, stress or heavy products to hamper your hair growth.
Are Sisterlocks expensive?
Some people may feel that Sisterlocks are expensive and hope to save money by having their copycat ‘sisterlocked’ by another method. Ultimately, they end up removing the end result or are never totally happy with the look achieved. The initial locking session may be a greater outlay in the beginning, however, over time, Sisterlocks is cheaper, believe me!
