You are the bomb. You really care about others. I really appreciate your advice and honesty. I made my down payment to start my sisterlocks. I wish I had seen this before. I am going to take back my money. I am also a rebel, don't see myself sitting in anyone's chair every 6 weeks, and that is exactly why I have my hair natural.
I can appreciate your video for the most part. I'm 5 yrs locked, after your locks have matured, you can use any products, and color in moderation. I'm very happy you stressed there is a continuous cost to keep your Sisterlocks well groomed
Everything else you mentioned is spot on!
You are awesome. Everything you've shared is true. I am in my 3rd year of my Sisterlock "journey", and I am so very pleased with my hair. You are so right about the no product mentality, and the retightening on schedule. I hope you return to the Sisterhood! Blessings!
+B Willis Awww thanks so much! I know for sure I would not get Sisterlocks again!
omg finally someone that competently explains the real back world to sister locs before ppl just plunge head first into a huge investment. I appreciate u beautiful sis.!
Great video.. you touched on some key points that kept me from getting Sisterlocks which is why I started my own Microlocks with two stand twists. I also maintain them my self by interlocking. It's time consuming but worth it.
Lockin' N Rollin' awesome. can you post a pic
After this video I was thinking the same thing, doing my own micros. Thanks for the info👍🏽
You bring up a good point with the products and itchy scalp, but I will say once my Sisterlocks matured I had no problems coloring, conditioning and using products. I think some of it boils down to your hair texture and how long it will take your locs to settle.
How long did it take for your locs to mature?
I am glad that I went with traditional locs. I didn't know that sister locks required so much maintenance. Great video.
Is it possible to combine sister locks?
+Mur Bonn (Blovshy) Kaya Journey combined hers. But to keep the sisterlock title have your consultant do it.
Combine them to traditional locs? Yes but they would not be Sisterlocks. Sisterlocks are defined by their size and grid partings.
She is so honest and straight foward
I'm 3 months in and my scalp has not itched yet
Yesssssssss the itching is real! Great video! The little bit of hard headedness I do do on occasion will definitely stop.
I'm so glad I watched this video. Valuable info for those of us who are getting Sisterlocks installed. So many of us are into our hair products so that's challenging to commit to letting that go. Thanks you!!!
Wow!! Thanks for these tips! Because of your honesty and advice, I know that sisterlocks are not for me starting my transition. You're awesome! Much love!!!
Thank you so much! I'll stick with my "regular" locks!
doesn't utilize products!? shoot, count me in!
I want sisterlocks but I want to maintain them myself. I'd rather them install it because I love the grid and then do it myself from then on. I hate other people doing my hair lol. Im so conflicted
You can't take the retightening class to learn to do them yourself until they have settled. At least 6 months to a year. I would suggest getting microlocs. You won't have the grid but you have the flexibility to do yourself.
+Kaneza cherie I got sisterlocks in August 317 locks installed. If you are going to retighten yourself, you must consider the size of sisterlocks you want, the more small the more locks you will have and the more time it will take to retighten. You are right about letting them do the grid then self maintaining. I only went to 2 retightening before learning online how to do my own retightening. TIP: make sure your loctician tells you what pattern she is using.(there is pattern 1,2,3,4) I did not pay anyone $250, that is a rip off. There are websites and YT videos that will show you how. I was able to retighten my own hair with only a bobbypin, hair clips, and a spray bottle. But it took a long time, I will get faster as time goes by. Making an interlocking tool is easy and cheap. But no more paying someone else to do my hair.
Can you tell me what videos you looked at to learn how to retighten? I get my sisterlocs on 9/12 and I sure don't want to constantly depend on someone else to do my hair. I plan to go maybe for six months of retightens then take it from there.
Faye Taylor dynamicRunner has a good tutorial on interlocking and Kreyola's blog has a lot of info/how to on locking patterns/rotations and tools. Naturalisious has a YT good video showing how she does it. Check out her blog too. There was a another one with two sister from the UK who do a great demo, but I can't find the video anymore. If I find it, I will let you know.
Faye Taylor I think it is best to first know what your locking pattern is. Most people have pattern 3 or 4. The goto Kreyola's Journey. She explains the rotation very well. Then check out the videos demonstrating how it is done. Make sure to have hair clips to separate the locks, to prevent joining locks.
Love this look on you 😍🙌🏽👏🏽 just sitting here debating on locking my 4c hair, researching, subbing, and seeing how others are enjoying their loc journey!!!
Me too! I love sister locks, but... every six weeks would become a nuisance, financially and time wise. And the initial fee😱
I found the conditioner never messed with my sisterlocks. But when i bleached them it was over. I plan on restarting them agin. I took the trainee class years ago so I plan on doing it myself.
This video has been soooo helpful! I'm considering sisterlocs and am researching everything about them so that I'll KNOW exactly what I'm getting into. Your current locs are gorgeous by the way. Thanks for this vid!
I'm considering Sister Locks and really appreciate you tips! Thank you ❤
Great tips! I love the sisterloc look, but my wallet had other ideas. lol!
Dee N wait
Try microlocks
Really clear explanation of what sounds like an expensive prison.
Agree! I don’t like the idea of yet one more restriction on my life…locs are supposed to be liberating in every sense. And me being a non-conformist…im not having anyone tell me how often to pay my money to have my hair done. Sisterlocks are not for me.
really good job been doing s/l for a decade glad to hear from someone who does not do s/l s you are very articulate THANKSyou did forget to mention that you could learn to do your own Sisterlocks maintenance
+Cheryl Williams I am a Sisterlocks Consultant ☺️ Thanks for watching! And yes I forget to mention that because I didn't have the patience for it so I just assume it is unrealistic lol
One of the most INFORMATIVE video's I've watched... Thanks for sharing..
I enjoyed listening and watching this video. Very informative and factual. Two thumbs up!
You have solved my conundrum! Lol! #ImARebel
I use Loc-Sanity for the shine and African Pride Moisture Miracle 5 Essential Oils for my scalp! It will be my 1 yr sista loc Anniversary by the end of this month! My hair is thicker and healthier than ever! Best decision and investment that I have ever made!
Thanks, this video is so informative.
I love how you were so detailed!!!
Great tips, you're well informed! Gotta love educators!
Thanks so much for these tips as I'm getting my install on 9/12. I like both types of locks on you. But on a totally different note, what is that lip stick your wearing? I need that in my life!
There are products for your sisterlock journey. They have a leave in conditioner as well as a moisture treatment.
Love your personality/energy!!!
Thanks for Better explaining,Now I really understand!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I go for my installation next week. These are great tips.
GREAT info! Especially about the itchy scalp! Yes, your scalp is going to itch!
THIS WAS GREAT!!!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽 Very detailed and precise! I love how sisterlocs look. My pocket will not though. Lol Now to check out the micro locks. Lol
Thanks for sharing this information!!!! #KnowledgeIsPower
Hi and thanks you were really imformative. I have been thinking about sis lockes for a long time and i am finally going to do them
Thanks for sharing and caring about others.
Best review ever
Very informative video. I am scheduled for a traditional loc install a week from today, so all the info here was useful in general.
This was so helpful. Thanks!
Excellent Video!
Thank you!
So your saying there are no oils none to man that you can put on your scalp??
Glad I found you thanks a lot.
thank you for all information i have braidlocks aug2015 i had my locks i retighten my own every month on the 11th
YES!!! agreed! you need to know your lifestyle for your locs...I'm definately a rebel with my locs lol
I like the tips. Sisterlocks sound perfect for me. I already do not use products on my hair. I wash and air dry. That's it. But it was one part of the video I have a question about. Why can't you color them? Cause I see them colored all the time. Or don't color them for the first year?
You can't color them until they settle. That timeframe is different for everyone
Very, very informative! I love your earrings! Is there a link?
very informative video.
Your the best!!
I'm loving your lipstick!!! My fav color. Where or where can I get it? Thanks :)
Thank you so much for sharing! I stopped using products some years ago. I haven’t had any chemicals in years. I believe that all of my chemically treated hair is gone, because of the constant hair cuts after going natural. I considered going back to chemically treated especially since I found out that I could still get the locks done even having my hair chemically treated. However, I am a bit apprehensive about doing that! My biggest problem that I have that you’ve discussed is scratching my scalp. With that said, any recommendations on a scalp “soother”? Also, wanted to add that I do not currently have sisterlocks, I'm just doing some research right now before I begin the journey. Thanks again!
Great information. Where can I find a scalp soother? Blessings!
I am thinking about getting these have been natural for a year
This was good. Thank yoi

+Naturally FAN-Tastic I understand what you mean but your hair definitely wouldn't die. It actually thrives without all the unnecessary stuff we put on our hair.
I don't put conditioner on my locs.
Yes , everyone have own maintenance depend on texture I like natural products been Natural for 10years. Had a consul n due to my length n texture $ 850-1000 my research said it best , not many Locticians I hear more horror , bad experiences etc. about sista locs, They r cute ! My Sister & my son been tying to convince me for years to loc they both have very thick hair, waist length well groomed beautiful dreds, Im on the fence bc my texture fine, wavy, curly. U said your hair was fine - so did u start 2strands or much larger sections to get the look u have in video? Thanx 4 Getn Back #ImaNewbie

Never used their shampoo, used oils and had no problems... But still ended cutting it off... Postpartum shedding is a B*tch

If your hair is dyed prior to getting sister locks what could you do to keep them moisturize?
+Jazzey Jay Your Consultant would go over which products they recommend but at a minimum you should be getting a hydration treatment once a month.
Ok thank you very much
There re lots of people on RUclips who get sister locs me self retighten
So I just wanted to point out that sisterlocks are not interlocks. Interlocks are knock offs of sisterlocks.
Secondly, traditionals require more maintenance than sisterlocks.
Thirdly, once your locks are settled you typically don’t get your hair retightened every 6 weeks, it’s an average of 7 weeks.
There were some inaccuracies in your presentation, however you did have some great points.
I’ve had my locks for 15 years and I deep condition my hair and use oils on my scalp.
Untrue. Interlocks are a slang term for saying the locs are maintained with interlocking. For some traditional locs are “more maintenance” due to the ability to use products but Sisterlocks definitely require more of a financial investment/Maintenance.
And yeah some schedules may adjust once they mature but not all so you can’t make that blanket statement.
@@thedigitalloctician Thank you again for the verification. Although you posted this reply 3 years ago, it still coincides with the information that is being given today in 2022! Although I will add, that it seems like the locks are getting even smaller now than 3-6 years ago. (Except for traditional locks which has remained the same over time.) And the fact that someone has introduced “micro locks,” which look like an ultra-micro “sisterlock.”
what different types of locs are there? Are there only Sisterlocks and Traditional? Thanks!
There is micro locs, and free forming locs. And of course loc extensions
