- Here is the video (slideshow) showing differences between my Microlocs and Sisterlocks in pictures: • Microlocs vs Sisterloc...
In this video I share how difficult it was for me to decide on getting Sisterlocks. I went back and forth. I even had Microlocs installed thinking that was best. In the end I combed out the Microlocs to get Sisterlocks which is what I really wanted all along. Microlocs are great and I loved mine. I’m not a DIYer but I’ve seen so many ladies who did their Microlocs themselves and they look great.
Here are two great DYI microlocs channels I watched recently:

In this video, I share how I struggled with deciding between microlocs and Sisterlocks. I really wanted Sisterlocks, but I was negatively influenced and in the end I went back and forth for weeks...

I’m in the process of getting microlocs established but she is interlocking my hair - not twisting. It’s the best of both worlds. My tech is also a SL Consultant!
Absolutely! That's what I think also. Interlocked Microlocs are a great choice.
I'm a Libra too, and have a hard time making decisions. Drives my family crazy.
Me too!!! This Libra indecisive thing is so freaking real!! ⚖
Thank goodness I am not the only one!! Love your honesty. I have an appt. on June 4/5 for my sisterlock install and I now have put the 1%doubt to rest and am all-in. Your hair is beautiful and your decision is perfect for you and looking good on you. Be well!!
Glad to know I am not the only one who had a hard time making decisions. And I am a Pisces.
So happy I found your channel! After watching so many videos on micro/sisterlocs, yours was exactly what I had been looking for!
Omg I am soooo glad I came across your video I am in the same boat but opposite decision so I really wanted microlocks but I ended up with sisterlocks instead and now 8 months in I want to switch from sisterlocks to microlocks...this is really a journey
I'm not a DIYer either and I love the idea of a professional holding me accountable throughout my journey, so I'm looking forward to my Sisterlocks consultation 9/11 this year :)
@@AnnyKeyz Amen fellow Libra 🙂🙌🏾❤️
I went for a consultation 2 days ago and I'm so undecided about the sister loc vs the micro locs
When I first heard about sisterlocs I thought it was someone sister dat has loc 😆
Same 😅
Dwl, it’s ok we all live and learn.
I love your honesty. Thank you for sharing.
Great insight. I am in the beginning stages. I have already decided against sisterlocs because of the maintenance, I do not want to commit to. I like to do my own hair in the comfort of my home. I will have a loctician start my locs but I am thinking for the future. Now I am trying to decide on what size. I was thinking small/medium but still undecisive on if I want them smaller. You're right, it is a tough decision. I'm an undecisive person as well. It took about 2 years to make the decision to even get locs.
I can understand that... I really do not regret my decision to get Sisterlocks. I hate the price but it's completely worth it for me. 💖
I’ve been debating since I went natural in 2010 and will finally be getting them June 14.
It seems from my research stylist are promoting sisterlocs as smaller than microlocs and thus charging more money yet doing the same exact process. It’s also been hard to find someone who will interlock from root to tip. They want to do two strand twist or braids.
Although you were indecisive, I think you were so wise to try the micro locs first. That way you are certain about your decision. Your hair looks nice and full.
Yes, I agree. I can also advise people who are ambivalent that both are beautiful and great.
Right now, after having tried both and spending time with Sisterlocks, I don't think the high number of locs is all that it's cracked up to be. Thanks! 💖
StepStewart…RUclipsr Tay LaDawn has video to install your own from start~finish and retie she did amazing work frfr..Y’all check it out
Yes, I saw her videos… But installing and caring for small locs is not for me…
Glad i came across this video this video.
Thank you for sharing your journey
Thanks for sharing Sis! I have no clue HOW I want to loc this 4C hair!
#LibraGang
Thank you for your honesty. You are not alone as far as making certain decisions. I have that same problem at times. Thing I learned follow the first thought to prevent the uncertainty later.
Yes... My pleasure... I'm this way only for things that I want to do for myself. Like I don't deserve to want things... I feel guilty for wanting beautiful things.
@@AnnyKeyz Well Lady I am here to tell you, you certainly do deserve the best for yourself. Don't settle for anything less Queen.
👑
its good when u can do it yourself...I do my hair myself......
but there's instant locking as well where u get results quickl....that's the one I did
That's great congrats! ❤️
So how many sisterlocs did you end up with, the total cost? what’s the cost for upkeep? Thanks 🙏🏽
@@AnnyKeyz Thank you for replying. I’m definitely afraid of the twist method as I think my hair will not lock or take too long to loc. I’d like the interlock from root to tip method.
This video helped me a lot. Thank you.
I’m so happy to read that! 💖
😂 😂 at least you ended up being happy! I am personally very decisive. I make my decision and move on to the next. I have micro locs and I am happy 😊 too
Amazing! That’s my hubby… he’s very impulsive and rarely doubts himself. We make quite the pair. We just bought a fridge. I was agonizing trying to find the best one at the lowest price possible. He came in one day an just ordered the one he liked and said it’s done. He values my prudence and how thorough I can be but sometimes he does step in to move things along. 😂
I did the exact same thing! I settled for micro locks and ended up losing a lot of my hair and paying someone to take/out 5months of micro locks payingI understand completely I m glad I got the sisterlocks! I am also a libra and a Christian who does not believe in the signs but understand your indecision
What made you lose your hair with the microlocs?
I would like to kno also ???
My hair is super thick…although this style looks great on some, I don’t like the sister locs nor the micros…I like it as neat but just not that thin.
I understand... The small locs are not for everyone. But it's great that we have many types to choose from. ❤️
Thank you
Great info. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful hair!!❤️
Hi and Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Not sure if i missed it but curious on why you decided to transition from Micro to Sisterlocks? You're hair looks beautiful by the way.
I talked about it in my most recent video published just a few days ago. In short, my loctician didn't do Microlocs as small as Sisterlocks and I wanted smaller locs. I also was obsessed with Sisterlocks back then. I thought I would never get over making the "wrong" choice. 💖
$100 for micro Locs? Where are you located?
I was about to ask the same. Microlocs in TN is $1200.
What? Well Microlocs can be installed different ways. Mine were mini twists. It took 4-5h to install and she charged me 150$ in total. I think that was the total amount. She charged like 30$ per hour. I'm sure Microlocs installed as interlocks cost much more.
@@AnnyKeyz I’ve never heard of microlocs being that cheap. I wish I could find someone that charges per the hour. I’ve been quoted $1200. My hair is waist length though too. But that’s her price, so it’s not based on length.
Wow... Well in Montreal it's not that much for Microlocs. The price does depend on who does your hair.
Sisterlocks are over 1000$ here, depending on consultant's experience and hair length and density.
I start my journey today🤪 sister lock for me i can’t wait
That's great!
You: I am a Libra
Me, a fellow Libra, "oh no"
I am trying to decide myself and have been thinking about it for almost 4 years, lol.
🙃 it's just so hard to make a decision 😓 I completely understand...
Hi, I don’t think you shared exactly why you chose sister locs in the end. What is it about sister locs that made you decide to go for them? Is it the look of them? The maintenance?
I chose them because I loved the look and wanted the smallest locs my loctician could do. Most of the ladies I saw on Social Media and fell in love with their hair were wearing Sisterlocks.
What rotation do you use?
@@AnnyKeyz No problem. I have fine hair also and I hear that 3 point works best so volume is not taken away. I love your hair by the way!
Yes research is key …DIY Tay LaDawn has video from start~finish and retie…plz check her out frfr.. I’m using her video Saturday to get grid done, Sunday start ☺️
How did it go? Are you 3 months in?
@@AnnyKeyz ..Nope chicken out 🤷🏾♀️..last only 2 weeks 🤦🏾♀️
😉 it wasn't time... Thats ok... 💖
@@AnnyKeyz …Yea it wasn’t I did mini twist and after 2wks the frizz, puffiness, I couldn’t take it 🤦🏾♀️ OCD wit hair 🤷🏾♀️ I’ll remain loose nat’l bcuz I’m very particular
@@wassupg totally understand. My daughter says the exact same thing.
This my current state being indecisive... i've been natural most of my life and deciding something semi permanent i have been unsure... i'm even considering to DIY microlocs
It’s hard to decide, but I’m very happy with my decision. Almost 3 years in… 💞
Omg! I’m a Libra also and I just did a consultation for sister locs and now I’m thinking about microlocs
Great! 🙃⚖️ I hope my indecision will not fuel yours.
I'm a libra too! That's why I'm here.....numerous videos later....😅
Welcome to my humble page! 💖
Thanks for making this video! I'm a little confused because you seem to say the microlocks will eventually give you the same results as the sisterlock, but why go back to sisterlock if microlocks are the same? Thank you!
From what I remember, for me it was was because my loctician did not do the very small Microlocs. Because I wanted smaller locs than what I had, I went with Sisterlocks. I was obsessed...
@Anny Keyz 😄 I hear you because I'm also obsessed too lol 😆 thank you for taking the time to respond and for making high-quality videos, I find them extremely helpful and I love your accent! Also, your locks are SO beautiful 😍
Thank you so much! 💖
🤣🤣Of course she was nice. She just doubled her take home and didn't even have to comb out your microlocks!!!! I just don't understand the concept of tying oneself to a stylist like that. Appreciate your video though. Thanks
Thanks so much for watching… 💖 I do truly enjoy my journey (wasn’t sure I would). For now… I may combine and start taking care of my own hair in a couple of years. Right now, I’m enjoying myself.
micro locks are more expensive because its smaller.....may not at first but it takes more time to retighten
That is correct...
Sisterlocs cost 3 -4 times more than micro locs and they are smaller than micro Locs! Sisterlocs are expensive because of the trademark and specific grid patterns
just let it grow to a point and no further.,..
I just want it shoulder length
Yep, I want to grow it as long as it would up to a certain point. I get hot in the summer and I can't imagine enduring long hair if I'm melting all the time. Shoulder length is fine if I can put it up. I just want to go longer just to see what happens.
I'm a libra too
Great job! Keep it up! ❤️
Yup, you're a Libra! Lol you sound just like me. We can be extreme over thinkers. Over thinkers unite!

No pics?
I have a short video showing picture comparisons. I put the link in the description box. Here's the link... (not sure it'll work here): ruclips.net/video/srfpH-Yo6V4/видео.html
So why did you eventually decide on sisterlocs?
I just really wanted Sisterlocks from the start. I was torn between getting the cheaper Microlocs in a bigger size or the Sisterlocks in the style I was picturing. I chose Microlocs first and decided to reverse my decision and get what my heart really desired. Pure vanity and me purely being spoiled. Not deep reason.
@@AnnyKeyz Ok thank you so much for responding! I am in the process of making this same decision, but someone told me that sisterlocs make your hair look thicker, and who doesn't want that!?!. But is that true? Thanks a lot.
It was for me. My hair is so much thicker than I ever expected. I have fine hair that did not grow when I was natural or relaxed. The process of loc'ing will make the hair thicker but I could not imagine it. It's a nice surprise.
@@AnnyKeyz You just helped me so much! Bless you and Happy Holiday Season!
Sis what microphone are u using?
@@AnnyKeyz ok sis the sound is really good 👍 👌
And thank you very much for subscribing to my channel 💓
@@AnnyKeyz thanks dear
Wait. Which one is she using?
I use a cheap lapel mic from Amazon. Usually linked in my description box. Nothing special really... I will add it to this video's description since it's missing. 😉
@@AnnyKeyz Oh, thank you!
Lol @ a pixie fro 😂
Libra
⚖️ ♎ 😊
but ur hair looks like micro lock though
Yes! Absolutely... My Microlocs were bigger than the Sisterlocks I got.
@@AnnyKeyz …Very pretty, expensive but beautiful 😊. Sisterlocks MUST have 500 or more; whereas Microlocks are under 500 only difference…The ™️ of sisterlocks / books, installation, products get you
It depends… that’s what I thought in the beginning but I saw a R-certified Sisterlocks consultant one time and she said that the average number is 400. So people can get above and below 400.
