Hey Lena! I must say that I did not save money by getting Sisterlocks. As a loose natural, I did my own hair and was not quite a “ product junky. However, I will go on the record to say that I do save a lot of time. Thank you for giving me time to pause and assess.
Hey Ms. Jean! The time saving aspect is a WONDERFUL thing!! I appreciate your continued support ❤️❤️❤️
My goal was hair freedom not money saving. I knew it would be more expensive because I wasn’t a salon girl. I’m loving the wake up and go that comes with my sisterlocks!
Hi Daphne, I knew it would cost, but in was also looking to save money from being a product junkie… I guess I did save on THAT part, but the reties are eating my pockets, girl. Buuuut, I’m paying for the CONVENIENCE of not having to retire my hair, so that’s a MAJOR plus🥰 I appreciate you so much for commenting❤️❤️❤️
I did not save money with that 1st year. I have spent more but less to none is spent on products since I've had sisterlocks. I love the freedom that I only go sit for a retie every 6 to 7 weeks now.So time is important to me too.
Hey Tasha!! I’m the same, my money didn’t go towards products. But the reties are eating my pockets, girl 😩I appreciate your support!!❤️❤️❤️
@@LenasLovelyLocs1 yes, I ended up switching to a trainee the price was almost the same. Yes it's getting ridiculous. I don't have the desire to do my own hair. I have said if it comes to that, I will probably cut them off or combine them and not interlock them.
I didn’t save money, but that wasn’t my goal. I wanted a maintenance-free hair.
Hey girl! I THOUGHT my goal was to save money, coming into this, but ooooh I was wrong!!! Buuuut, the maintenance free aspect of it outweighs the cost 🥰 I appreciate you sipping by and commenting!❤️❤️❤️
I was a loose natural for 10 years. I went through that phase of buying a lot of products but after a while I stop that. So I didn't do a lot with my hair as far as going to the hairdresser. Getting micro locks has saved me time and I agree with one of the comments you read. I found greater self-love once I was locd. Plus the freedom to wake up, shake and go! That to me is worth it. I am 9 months locd and I intend to start doing my retightenings once the slipping stops. But locing my hair has been worth the cost of starting them and the retightenings.
Hey A’Shasa, I was the SAME way! I spent A LOT of money on products. I love the fact that I don’t need to do that now🥰 and YESSSSS, the freedom to just get up and GO, girrrrl!!! I appreciate you for commenting❤️❤️❤️
Hey Lena!! I didn’t really save money but it has been planned and budgeted for. I gained on time. I did it because of the carefree lifestyle, not having to worry about what to do with my hair for work, church, events etc. I also like having an appointment and starting my hair ON time. I have also gained a “big sister” because at this point that’s the relationship my loctition and I have built. Only thing better than this in my book is a tightly cropped pixie cut.
Hey girl! I ABSOLUTELY agree about having a relationship with your loctition🥰 I love my loctician! I love the carefree lifestyle that comes with having locs! I’ve never had a pixie cut before, but it seems like it would be a very low maintenance style🥰🥰 Thank you so much for commenting, I appreciate you ❤️❤️❤️
If I got locs when I was younger when I was getting sew in and/or wigs, it would be the same. However, since moving to Texas where I was taking care of my hair for the most part with maybe 2 - 3 salon visits a year and doing my own crochet, I’m not really saving money. But the time though!!! That’s where the saving is! I can wake up and go. Wash days are a whole day process anymore. And for that, I’m grateful!
Ohhh, Girl YESSSS, the time that I’m saving by not having to deal with another wash day, is a savings in itself!! I really can’t complain about the price since my time is a priority! I appreciate you stopping by and commenting!!❤️❤️❤️
I haven't saved any money, but im happier with the locked hair. I never got the growth with my loose natural hair.
Hi Malinda! You know what? I am too!! Im sooo happy with my locs and I am absolutely seeing more growth than from when in was a loose natural🥰 I appreciate you for stopping by and commenting, girl❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for this video Lena. Sisterlocks prices have gone through the roof. The more women that want them the higher the demand. When I got my Sisterlocks almost four years ago, I saved money. Now, it's not cost saving, however, it's total hair freedom. So there is a cost for everything.
Hey girl! I was told this from another person who had SL for over 10 years. she said she paid about as half as much as I paid for my installation but her reties has gone up in price. I totally understand that locticians have to make a living, but SHEESH😩!! You’re definitely right, nothing’s free!! I appreciate you stopping by to comment!❤️❤️❤️
Hey! Thanks for the discussion. When I was a loose natural I went to the salon but not every month and I was a semi product junkie especially at times 🤣. I think compared to the last few years of my loose natural hair wearing braids and other protective styles I may have saved some money. However the hair freedom and time I have now is what is key!🤗💜
Hey girl!! You are so welcome! when I used to get perms, I’d go to the salon EVERY 2 weeks😫 when I became a loose natural, I did my own hair, but I was a product junkie, lol. You’re right, the hair freedom IS key!!! I appreciate you so much for always supporting my channel ❤️❤️❤️
@@LenasLovelyLocs1 Absolutely!💜
Hello Queen , I have Microlocs & I have thank God my sister interlocs my crown every 3 Months , which I love. Wash every 2-3 weeks but Interloc every 3 Months with my micros
Hey Linda! You are definitely blessed to have someone close to you do your reties!! I think my loctician would fire me with I went 3 months without a reties😩😩 I appreciate your continued support🥰❤️❤️❤️
Hello beautiful Lena. I’m saving now as you know because I’m doing my own reties. Time, hair freedom, self confidence, get up and go, versatility, almost booty length hair, barely ANY products, the smile when I look in the mirror (seeing naturally me), conversations about them, & many started installs due to my passion for mine.
I’d say Pricele$$!! Another great video. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Hey Ms. O, Thank you so much! I love the get up and go aspect of it too, and Yes, you absolutely save money doing your own reties🥰 your locs are super gorgeous, so you are definitely doing something right! I appreciate your continued support❤️❤️❤️
@@LenasLovelyLocs1 (-_-)
I didn’t save money, but I definitely saved time and my sanity! I could never quite figure out the right products for my hair, so I was buying everything. In addition, styling my hair was always a chore. Getting sisterlocks was the best decision for me! #11monthsloc’d
Yes!! Saving time is a game changer sans ain’t nothing like a piece of mind, girl!! Not having to worry about what I’m going to do with my hair is priceless!! I appreciate you for stopping by and commenting🥰❤️❤️❤️
Exactly why I opted for microlocs and I maintain them myself
hey girl!! I SERIOUSLY need to start maintaining my locs, but I’m soooo lazy😫 I appreciate you stopping by and commenting 🥰❤️❤️❤️
I haven’t saved money but I have saved time and a stiff neck from taking my braids out, combing out hair, washing and flat ironing. Loving the freedom and having my time back. About 4 times a year I would sit 6 hours to have my braids done and about the same time taking them down, and washing. I no longer have to set aside a weekend to take down my hair.
Hi Tiffany! I totally agree! Saving time is such a plus with locs. I hated having wash days because they were literally a WHOLE day😩 thank you so much for commenting ❤️❤️❤️
This is a great video. I never thought about how much I may have saved. I am a time snob so the cost is worth it because of the time I save. For the record I spend approximately $1,920.00 annually. This includes tip. The time that I save is well worth it 🤗
Hi Kwanza! Thank you so much!! I love the phrase, “time snob”😄 I’m going to borrow that, lol! My time is sooo important which is why I really can’t complain about the cost of my reties. I’m paying for convenience. Thank you so much for stopping by my channel and commenting, I appreciate you!!❤️❤️❤️
@@LenasLovelyLocs1 I was looking to send you a message. I know we are on some of the same FB loc'd groups but I wanted to talk to you about joining me on my podcast Girlfriend Therapy... I would love to talk sister locs/ natural hair with you. Please let me know if you are interested 😊
@@kwanzafalaka5668 Hey girl! I most definitely am. I’ll send you my info on FB messenger or vice versa… I tried finding you in the groups I’m in, no luck😫❤️❤️❤️
@@LenasLovelyLocs1 Awesome!!! I will look for you and send you a message
I feel like the installation was an investment. So not counting that and only my maintenance, yes I am saving money and definitely time. And I love my locs a lot better than my loose hair
Hey girl! If I didn’t count my installation, I think I’d still be paying more than I was being a loose natural 😩 I’m the same, I do love my locs more so than my loose natural. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting ❤️❤️❤️
My 12 yo daughter and I both have sisterlocks; money not sure but time yes! When my daughter was loose she wore Afros and I was in the salon with her frequently with braids she is also a competitive swimmer 5 days a week practice; her hair was breaking and I just couldn’t keep up with her hair and I wasn’t doing anything to my hair i was loose natural. I’m also a licensed clinical therapist seeing clients all day; NO TIME, but now! I have time; believe it or not my daughters hair is doing so much better even when swimming daily; she wears swim cap and I got her spray from Black Kids Swim; the loctician is always complimenting on how well her hair is doing and mine on the other hand comes down around edges; her hair has grown so much so I love it; I try not to think about cost and budget that in; but we have more time and that is valuable to me
Hi Mia!! I’m pretty sure you saved so much time with you his getting loc’d! I know it was probably hard trying to keep your daughter’s hair healthy when she’s into swimming, do locs were a wonderful choice! My hair has also held its retention since being loc’d and I’m sooo enjoying it, lol🥰 I appreciate you for stopping by and commenting ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Lena! I’d like to think I saved time and money. I would pay anywhere from $50 to $100 for weave plus the cost of a hair do which was about $150 to =$200 to $250 every 2 to 3 weeks as opposed to paying $140 for a retie every 5 to 6 weeks plus tip. I am still loving my journey and I wouldn’t change it for anything
Hey girlie! Yes, you definitely saved money!! Isn’t it wonderful to not have to worry about sew-ins and whatnot??😊😊 I appreciate your continued support!❤️❤️❤️
I Think I Save Money Being A Consultant And Living On The Continent Of Africa I Retie My Hair So It’s Free. 👑🌹🦋
You definitely save money being a consultant, and doing your reties really does save on your pockets. I appreciate your support, Queen❤️❤️❤️
@@LenasLovelyLocs1 Always Queen 👑🌹🦋
Hi Queens Crown, what country in Africa are you based?
I think if someone was a wig, braid and frequent salon goer they would for sure save with sisterlocks. Even buying products didn’t amount to the rates I paid on my hair this year alone lol. I have saved so much time and I feel pretty every morning not doing my hair especially as a new mom which is priceless 😍😍😍.
Hey Talisa! I feel the same way, girl🥰 I was never into wigs and such so I’m definitely coming out of more money, but I love my locs and the convenience that comes with it. I appreciate you for stopping by and commenting ❤️❤️❤️
I saved time which is irreplaceable 😁
Hey Stephanie, You are absolutely right about that, girl!!! I appreciate you taking the time to comment🥰❤️❤️❤️
I stand to be corrected, but if you were a loose natural whose go to hair products included some of the high-end natural hair products (not going to name names, 'cos if you know YOU KNOW), then you probably were spending about that amount yearly. I know how I used to eye certain products longingly standing in the aisles at Target. As a poor graduate student I could only ever look and keep walking 🚶🏾♀️
ETA: Also if you were the type of loose natural whose go-to hairstyle for work and special occasions was a weave or wig, then you most certainly would spend at least $2000 yearly. A good unit would cost anything between $300 up. So assuming that you like to switch it up, that's a smooth $1200 - $2400 in a year. Not counting the service fee and tip if it's a sew-in.
The people who definitely would be saving money are the DIY or microlocs folks.
Hi Oluoma! You’ll definitely be saving if you are a DIYer! I’m happy that I didn’t have to buy weaved and wigs when I was a loose natural because that would definitely have my pockets hurting😫. I was the one in the Target aisle buying all the hyped up products, smh. If I begin to self retie, I KNOW I’ll save money… I’m just lazy, girl😩😂! I appreciate you stopping by my channel and commenting❤️❤️❤️
@@LenasLovelyLocs1 😆 And I was the one walking past you as you put stuff in your cart, wondering when I would ever have enough in my account to do the same. I agree about the DIY. Exact reason why I got the number I did - just 240. I'm with you; I could never self-retie 400 or more locs 😭
I didn't go to the salon and get my hair done when I was a loose natural, so yes it is costing me more. I plan on doing my own reties at some point to save money, but the thought of it is a little daunting.
Hey girl!! Yessss, I am the same way!! I didn’t go to salons either. I know how to retie, I just choose not to, like you said, it seems like a daunting experience 😩 I appreciate you for stopping by my channel and commenting ❤️❤️❤️
Like you I save time. Not money.
Hey girl!! Exactly! Time is money!! I appreciate you stopping by my channel and commenting!!!❤️❤️❤️
Definitely didn't save money, but it's convenient.
Hey girl, I know what you mean😩 but the convenience is worth every penny!! I appreciate you for commenting ❤️❤️❤️
