Rocking th plucked chicken look right now and yes you gotta dig deep and realize its a journey not a destination. Beautiful locs and beautiful soul!!
Yes, girl...gotta keep reminding yourself its worth the journey. Thank you so much, I appreciate the love ❤!
Within the first 10 seconds, I liked the video. Great energy!!
Aww, thanks so much for watching❤!!! Stay tuned!
I am on the journey since Mother’s Day this year
I love your voice. You seem to be down to earth and I clicked like immediately after 4s. I lacked volume too but as it started growing I saw the great transformation .
Aww thank you 😊! And I'm glad you can relate
INFORMATIVE!! although i have traditional locs, i was encouraged by the part about the calm after the storm when it finally starts to blossom and lengthen out. praise Him in advance...
Yasss girl!!! It will definitely come through. I felt like mine started to take leaps of blossoming by 18 month-2year mark. Then just took off! I've seen that's a similar time frame for many, but you'll see your time when its here!! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for sharing your journey!! I love pros!! It has definitely built my confidence. I am 9 months as of Monday!! The best investment in whole entire life. lol I tell everyone this!! I have 390 locs. I went almost 12 weeks without a retie and I thought it was the end of the world. My locitician started back 3 weeks ago and she did my hair after 2 weeks and we both wore mask while she did it. Anyways, beautiful locs!! Thanks again!!
You're welcome! I agree, this was one of my best investments I have made in my life lol. Yes girl, I found out my hubby's loctitian started working (she has a small private shop) and I got in with her, we did the same precautions. She said if I had waited any longer it would've been a hot mess cuz of the growth lol. Thanks for watching ❤!
Seeing your journey gives me a lot of hope for my sisterlock journey, your locks are beautiful! I just started my journey in March, so I’m in the insecure stage where it doesn’t have the length and fullness that I desire just yet. So I’m learning to love and style my hair in its current state. This lockdown is helping me get through this stage without facing the world, where the confidence is coming from me, not externally. I agree with your pros and cons for sure!
Aww that's great! Hang in there, it only gets better. Thanks for watching!
I love this video. Very positive and upbeat. I also like your honesty. It is definitely a process. I hated the process😁. For (6) more I kept waiting to see growth and fullness. So glad you expressed this in the video. I'm (2) yrs locked and it is amazing. I awoke one morning and my hair was down my back😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁. I don't fuss over it anymore. My daughter took the Sisterlock class on Baltimore. She re-tiea my hair every (8-10) weeks. My hair was starting to think when I was getting re-tight every (4-6). Now it's about every two months. You're so right when you said Freedom and ease. As a senior citizen on a fixed income, this is the best decision I could have ever made. I love my hair and I love yours too! Eshe Rudo
Awww, I truly appreciate the feedback! So glad your journey has also been a positive one. Thanks for watching ❤
Love your hair. As soon as the pandemic is passed in going to get my locs established 😁
Thank you so much!! Yasss, that's awesome...I'm sure your locs will be beautiful! Thanks for watching ❤
here watching...I am on the loc journey...your hair is beautiful
Thanks 😊. Best wishes on your journey.
Hey gorgeous!!! Honey, you had me cracking up with Con#4... With having long locs... It was so funny to me because not only do I understand EXACTLY what you are talking about ( My nieces and nephews constantly have my hair caught underneath them for unknown reasons ) but it is so hilarious to be a Black woman with legitimate First World problems like having long locs!!! 😂 Thank you for creating this video sweets!!!
No problem! Glad you can relate! Lol. Thanks for watching ❤
Thank you for the content really helped me in my decision to get sisterlocks I cut my hair down to my scalp in October and just rocking my natural hair and seeing a curl pattern develop. Learning to be comfortable with my natural hair has been a process for me. I am in ATL so as soon as I find someone I will start my journey.
Awww, I’m glad it was helpful! And congrats on your decision! I wish I could give you direct in finding someone but the couple ppl the I know have not been accepting new clients for some time now. But I hope you meet the right one for your journey ❤️

You’re super cute. Thank you for this video. Been considering sister locks for some time now.
Thank you ❤! You are very welcome. Definitely keep considering
3 month's locs. I absolutely love them. Patiently waiting on how beautiful yours are even though I love mine now
Aww thanks ❤️ I’m so excited for you, the journey gets even better! I post some pics of my hair on my IG
Love your sisterlocks mate... I cannot wait to have those kinds of far as having long locks and they're getting caught a stuck under a person's arm under a bag and I specially cannot wait to have that full bun action going on
Thank you
I would love my hair to be that length
Hey! I know you two awesome people! Liked and subscribed!
Awww thanks and welcome to the fam!!
You are very positive!
Aww! Thank you! 😊❤️
Great vlog! I have had mine for three and a half years!
Thanks! Aww that’s awesome ❤️
You look great. I knew I recognized you.. I'm getting my sisterlocks next Friday. Ready but scared. Yours is encouraging
Awww, thank you! I'm sure it'll look beautiful! Where did we work??
@@TheFabJerLife I had to take that work with you out cause I really thought I worked with you, you were so familiar to me. Then this morning when I saw the pictures with the glasses on I knew we didn't work together. I was one of your patients at Dr. Robinson office. Miss seeing you there. Keep shining cause you are a star!!!
Aww wow! That's great...I miss seeing all my patients there too! Thank you for your kind words, that seriously means a lot ❤, I'm trying my best 🤗
Beautiful locks 👌
Thank you so much ❤! And thanks for watching!!
Your hair is life! I just hit 11 months and about to embark on my 2nd self retie due to Covid 😡, not fun these little baby locs wear my arms and patience out, can’t wait to have a couple of years and for them to mature but I’m FINALLY really loving them! I still have so many that are super tiny and seem to not have thickened at all yet... how long did it take yours to thicken/swell??? They r beautiful though I love your locs
Aww thank you so much!! That's awesome, more power to you for self retightening. Your hair will thrive real soon! I think I really started to notice it swell the most once I got between 12 and 18 months. Then by my 2 years like you saw in pics, it was everywhere! Lol. Stay encouraged and trust the process. Thanks for watching ❤
Love The Life you are welcome and I’m trying to be patient but it has coMe a Long way since install
Your and your hair are beautiful! I’m hoping to get to a time when 1 of my problems is that my hair is so long that it’s irritating when my husband puts his arm around me! I can not relate to that problem any less right now 😂😂
Thanks so much 💜. I can understand you don't feel it now lol. Every stage has its blessings that's unpleasant sometimes 😆. Thanks for watching, stay tuned!
To me it seems like the pros out weights the cons. Interesting to know that the thicker your locs get the longer it takes for them to dry🤔 I got my locs back in February so it’s going on 5monts now and I started with shoulder longer hair.
Yes, its definitely worth the draw backs! And in my experience and others, the more dense your locs become, the more water it tends to hold
My installation date was 2/23/21 and I definitely look like a plucked chicken but I'm going to enjoy the journey!
Lol yes girl, but that's awesome!!! Congrats!
Your SL are beautiful!!! Thank you for this information. 😍 Who is your loctician? I am looking for someone who will do a great job & I live in Metro Atlanta area.
Thank you so much ❤! My loctician's name is Li at lovlilocs.com. As far as I know she is not taking new clients right now but feel free to contact her. Thanks for watching!
Your locs are beautiful!!!
Awww thank you so much ❤❤!!! And thanks for watching!
Your hair is beautiful! Would you mind sharing the contact info for your loctician? I’m in ATL and am looking to get locs!
Thank you ❤. Her shop is Lovlilocs by Li, in Atlanta, GA. Last I checked she wasn't taking new clients but you can still check out her website www.loviliocs.com and ask
Would you ever color ever color your hair
Hello. I hope you are well. How often do you retighten and wash? Do you also have a plant based diet?
Hey there! I retighten typically every 4-6 weeks. Washing every 2-3 weeks usually works really well for my hair, which is what I was doing when I was loose natural. I aim for plant based most of time, and eat mostly a vegetarian diet. But I eat chicken and or fish a couple times a week. I haven't eaten red meat in like over 10 years. Thanks for the questions, and thanks for watching! ❤
Hello, I love your locs and want them, but my hair is thin and not sure if I will be able to get them or like the way it will look.
Thank you ❤️ I have heard of several ppl that still can have sisterlocks with thin hair, or fine hair. I have a lot of hair, but my hair is fine textured. So when I was loose, it was always difficult to maintain a “big” hair look for long or without lots of product. Certain techniques of locking can allow your hair to swell as much as possible to gain as much volume as your hair allows. That’s what my specialist did. I would go to a loctician for a consult
I live in the metro Atlanta area and would like to begin my sisterkock journey. Any suggestions on loctitians?
I wish I had suggestions, but as of late, the few ppl I know in the metro have been full 😕. You can try to contact my loctician www.lovlilocstudio.com and see if she is aware of anyone. But she has been full for the last couple years and not taking new clients
How much do you pay each time you go , if you don’t mind shsre
Your locks are awesome
Aww thank you so much! I can’t believe it’s been almost 6 years!!
Your hair is absolutely beautiful, what shampoo and products do you use. I love your length 💕
Awww thank you!! Honestly since locking it, my products are minimal, much different from my loose natural time. 2 things: Paul Mitchell number 1 shampoo (diluted) and Roux (#619) leave in condition, diluted (from Sally's). Lately these things have been hard to find. So I've been using the Sally's generic comparable to Paul Mitchell which works great, and a different leave in at sally's. I'll find the name. But this watery leave in is all I need a few times a week.
@@TheFabJerLife Thanks so much for your response 💕
I was afraid of the cons then I heard it a d it's all pros😅😅😅 I'm on my 2nd year journey. My daughter's 10 and 6 both have sisterlocks. I can't stop touching my hair it's growing like a weed (not that I'm complaining) 🤣🤣🤣can't wait for mine to be as long as yours.
Yeah I can't wait either..am in my year 2 😊
Do you use a microfiber towel? I ask because the microfiber towel helps to dry your hair much faster.
I wrap it in a large cotton t-shirt to dry for like 30 min, which helps a lot with excess water. But I'll give the microfiber towel. I use them around the house but never for my hair. Thanks for the tip, and thanks for watching! ❤
There is also a loc dry towel on Amazon which dries them super fast!
@@TheFabJerLifeluv your video...yes I look like a wet chicken from volume to flat...my is fine so it was straggly ...so o had to put it in a bun so I didn't keep looking at it
I’m thinking
Gorgeous locs!!! How many do you have? I am 7 weeks into my journey ❤️
Thanks girl!! And thanks for watching ☺ That's awesome! I hope you're enjoying your experience so far. I meant to recount my locs this week cuz its been a while since I checked (I had a few new ones started with my growing baby hairs 2 years ago). It was between 350 and 380...how many do you have?
Love The Life I am enjoying my journey so far. It’s teaching me patience all over again like when I did the big chop. Thank you! I have 430 locs.
Yes I agree! Very similar to my big chop too. Stay encouraged, it only gets better!
Love The Life thank you!!❤️
Hi it would be help if you discuss the prices of install and maintenance.
Hey! Honestly that is a discussion that would be difficult since it varies greatly based on the consultant’s level of experience, if they charge by the hour vs session, the length of your hair at the time of installation, how often you need maintenance, and your going prices in your geographic location. As a result, installation can go from $400-500s up to $1000+, maintenance from $125+
So it would be best to do your own research for the best numbers based on those factors
How many locs do you have if you dont mind my asking. Your hair is beautiful and still have some volume 😍
Awww thanks 🥰!! The volume is what I live for lol! The last time I checked a couple years ago, it was between 350 and 380
@@TheFabJerLife you just gave me hope❤ I jave 395 and I praying for as much volume as possible in due time
Seriously considering SisterLocs..I'm scared. My hair texture is soft and fine. Any suggestions??
My hair is also fine and soft 😊. I wouldn't let that be your deciding factor. Its moreso important what your curl pattern is like. Soft and fine hair can lock up, but the looseness or kinkyness of your pattern tends to be a factor in how long your hair takes to lock. Any interlocking method like sisterlocs tends to be better option for looser patterns, because it cuts down on your hairs wanting to slide out. My hubby had to do interlocking as well due to his looser bi-racial curls
Where are you now ❣
My question is if I have a loc and someday I feel like I wanna have my hair out, can I lose it?
Definitely! However, either you would need to gradually "pick" it out (which takes a lot of patience), grow it out, or cut it all off and start over.
If you're already thinking about taking them out i would seriously reconsider getting them in the first place
You stated you live in Atl but I didn't hear my native "Etlana" accent. Where are you orginally from?
Right, we are transplants to ATL, move here over a decade ago. Originally born in west Africa and grew up in Minneapolis. Check out our channel, you'll see me teaching my husband my original dialect
@@TheFabJerLife Definitely will, I've already subscribed! Your sisterlocks are beautiful. I got installed just 2 months ago, I'm so excited about my journey.
That's awesome, you'll love it!! Thanks for the support 😊
Hi, I’m considering sisterlocks. Really enjoyed your video. Can you share the name, website and/or IG of your loctitian? I’m in the ATL area as well.
Thank you! Check out lovlilocstudio.com, her name is Li. But as far as I know right now she's not accepting new clients
@@TheFabJerLife Finding that’s the case for a lot of folks here. Thx for your reply.
No shade but it’s possible to grow long hair without having locs. My hair was just past my waist when I decided to Loc it.
Of course! I never said someone is unable to grow hair long without locs. I even said my daughter has waist length hair, and I have managed it at that length for 3 years. And she's 6.
Of course!
Long hair struggles. I'm okay with those. Looking forward to that problem. Hahahahaha
Haha, long hair IS pretty fun despite the struggle lol. Never experienced it in my life before this. You'll enjoy it
Appreciate every stage. When your hair actually locks up it will look totally different. I miss the shoulder length fluffy stage of my sislocs. They are to my waist now but it legit took 3 years about before they started to grow long and after that the growth was insane and I had to keep cutting them. But just enjoy the stages as your hair will never look that way again. Also I took the sisloc rety course and it was the best decision ever especially now with covid but having a good consultant is key because they catch problems before they progress. I still see my consultant for color and a cut for time to time. No one else touches my hair for that. Finally dont slack on retys. If you go a long while with alot of loose hair at the root the greater the likelihood you will have breakage and thinning. Good luck. Best decision I ever made for my hair and wish I'd known sooner about them.
Hi nice hair. How many locks do you have?
Haven't counted since the beginning. With new locs formed over time around my perimeter, I believe around 350
Thank you for responding. If my hair comes out looking like yours I’ll be very happy 🤞🏾
Was that’s your husband
Hello 👍👍❤❤❤❤
Hey there! Thanks for watching ❤
