    Julia's information is in the description box! Here are the questions we discussed during the video. I'm making this a series so please comment any questions you have that may not have been answered in the video :)
    1.) What are some common misconceptions about sisterlocks?
    2.) Can I add water/setting mousse to style my sisterlocks?
    3.) What is the difference between sisterlocks, microlocs, and interlocks? Opinions on these locs?
    4.) Heat Styling: Can you use curling irons and flat irons on sisterlocks?
    5.) Can you install sisterlocks on relaxed hair?
    6.) Can you color/dye your sisterlocks?
    7.) Can you install sisterlocks on colored/dyed hair?
    8.) Thoughts on protective styles over sisterlocks? (braids, wigs, weave, etc.)

    I didn't agree with how she defined sisterlocks vs microlocs vs interlocs. Here's my own opinion:
    -Interlocking has been around for a long time. Most sizes can be interlocked. From large to microsized. It's an alternative to twisting or freeforming
    - Microlocs. It's literally in the name. The method doesn't matter. They can be achieved many ways whether you're interlocking, twisting, braiding etc. If it is micro sized, it's a microloc.
    -Sisterlocks ARE microlocs. Sisterlocks ARE interlocked. Sisterlocks are a branded form of interlocked microlocs. They are standardized (at least they're supposed to be 👀) from the size, to the grid, to the certification of the consultant. It's like how a Nike shirt (any brand works in this example) is still by definition a t-shirt but you expect a certain quality and consistency.
    Sidenote for those who can't afford sisterlocks: There are microlocs that look quite similar if not better than some of the sisterlocks I've seen and vice versa. If you can achieve the look you want and are happy, there are tons of tutorials here on YT.

      You explained this well, especially using the Nike analogy. Nike didn't even invent the sneaker 🤭 I wore SL for about 15 years and loved them (along with my consultant), so I am well-aquainted with the brand. However it never occurred to me to describe someone with any other form of locs as "step" or "cousin". They're all locs, and it's just hair!

  • @vanessajacobs2875
    @vanessajacobs2875 4 года назад +55

    Sisterlocs and microlocs are both gorgeous! I decided to do microlocs because I want to do my own hair. I don’t want to depend on others to do my hair for me. Relying on a professional all the time is like being relaxed to me. I want true freedom. I pay zero dollars and have a head full of beautiful micro locs. 🤷🏾‍♀️

    • @ImaniGoodridge
      @ImaniGoodridge  4 года назад +24

      As you should! Everyone chooses the style of locs that's most suitable for them for numerous reasons. True freedom is one factor. I'm lucky to know how to retighten my own hair (did it for 8 years up until this retightening with Julia in this video). Knowing how to do your locs on your own is definitely a huge perk :)

    It’s so crazy how much people are charging to retighten! My certified consultant charged me $75 and finished in 1.5-2hrs. If it took her longer than that she charged $85. EVERY time! I get compliments EVERY where I go, and even other customers in the salon who are sitting in other consultants hair always ask how their hair can look like mine and watch me walk in after they’ve been in the chair with their consultant and I walk out before them. I started with 1-2” of hair 2.5 years ago and my hair is past my shoulders. I have never lost a Loc, go every 6-8 weeks for retightening, and colored before they were installed. So I am completely shocked at the time and money people are expending for this lifestyle. Btw my hair is thick and I have ALOT of locks. My sister says she can’t believe it’s all my hair.

    • @ImaniGoodridge
      @ImaniGoodridge  3 года назад +1

      My consultant said that it should be to the end (I'm not certified; I'm the one in the chair haha). I think you should! Ask why they didn't do it all the way to the end. They might have had a valid reason based on your hair that I wouldn't know because I can't see it myself :) If there is no "valid" reason, I 100% would ask them to do it again. After all, you are paying for a service. If they are professional, they shouldn't be offended by you making sure it's up to your requested standards.

    • @ImaniGoodridge
      @ImaniGoodridge  4 года назад +3

      I'm not quite sure what you mean by smooth. If you're referring to the way my locs look now as smooth, my sisterlocks are mature/completely loced. If you got your sisterlocks in June, my guess is your hair is still in the primary phase of locing. It takes people around a year for their locs to loc. After that, you locs will begin to contract and get "smoother". However, everyone's locing process and timeline is different. Just leave your locs alone, be patient, and allow your hair to loc at it's own pace is the only advice I can give :)

      Nope! I used to competitively swim and started my loc journey when practicing twice a day. I suggest plaiting your hair (maybe 4 total just so your ends don’t unravel). Then wear two swim caps. I’d put a cloth one on first and then a regular rubber/latex cap! The extra cap helped to keep my hair as dry as possible while also limiting yanking on my baby sisterlocks ☺️

    • @ImaniGoodridge
      @ImaniGoodridge  4 года назад +2

      She is saying you shouldn't be using mousse or setting lotion if you locs are not loced (the baby & teen phases of the locing process) to avoid slippage and slowing the locing process. If your locs are loced, mousse/setting lotion is fair game. Honestly, you usually only need water to set your curls. Just don't take the curls out until your hair is completely dry. If you need other products because your hair tends to not hold the curl, by all means use what works for your hair. Everyone's locs are different!

    I have been to 3 consultants and none of them have ever wet or sprayed my sisterlocks when retightening. I dont understand why so many videos say you should do that. Its not necessary plus your hair is more fragile when its wet.

    • @ImaniGoodridge
      @ImaniGoodridge  4 года назад +1

      Exactly! It makes your hair more susceptible to popping and breaking at the root as you retighten the hair. I think a lot of people just aren't familiar with interlocking which doesn't require product/water/etc. for maintenance vs. retwisting/palm rolling which comes to mind when people think about loc maintenance.

    • @fatimamanneh9432

      I did my own install 2 years 3 months ago and I have kept all mine. I was listening to another channel and she said it usually comes from the constant manipulation and tension on the hair, getting them retightened too often and possibly being too small.

    • @TrollownsGoblin
      @TrollownsGoblin 4 года назад

      They may be too small consider combining sisterlocks that are a similar size around your hairline, also is there ever any discomfort in that area when getting a retie? Do you hear hairs popping during the retie? Because hairs popping means less strand holding that loc together. You may want to ask your loctician to do one less rotation.

    • @ImaniGoodridge
      @ImaniGoodridge  4 года назад +2

      My mom has thinner edges as well as really small locs. What we've done to account for that is retighten the edges less to reduce tension on the hairline from retightenings on thinner hair. For example, we may retighten her hair every 6 weeks but will either 1.) do one less rotation for the edges or 2.) retighten the edges a few weeks later to give them a "break". Hair thickness varies throughout your head and my mom's thinner sections happen to be around the edges. Perhaps you may want to try this! These ladies also gave so helpful advice. I hope we helped :)

      Honestly, rarely. They only tangle when they get long (based on my experience). But all you have to do is comb through your hair with your fingers from end to root which takes 2 seconds.

    Does your Loctitian take clients with all forms of Alopecia?

    Good info. But, Sisterlocks can take your hair out, they can cause tension or traction alopecia, they can get too heavy. These things CAN happen.
