    I have had Sisterlock for 4-1/2 years. I started with 8 Inches on the top and 5 on the sides and the back. I paid $600. My hair grew to bra strap length around 3-1/2 years. That’s when I cut about three inches off, because the curly ends started to lock into fat balls. After the cut the width of my locks are all even. I have a few friends who started there journey with 4-6 inches of hair and their hair is beautiful and they did not have to cut off any hair when it grew long. I think starting with short hair is better. It save you money and your hair is in better condition when it grows out. By the way your hair is beautiful.

    I got my Sisterlocs yesterday. I made the decision a year ago but it was so expensive in Georgia. But last August we moved back to St. Louis. So the price difference was $600. So my joints are tight.

    You are asked to color before your sister loc’s are installed because coloring your hair loosens the natural curl pattern and can cause the inter locked hair to unravel and bunch with out of control loc swelling at various points along your loc’s.
    You can use sea salt spray to encourage your loc’s to mature much faster during the locking process.

    • @hopefulreality

      Thanks for tip! I heard sea salt works magic on locs, I’m going to have to give it a try

    Mine were just over $1200. I think I was overcharged since my hair isn’t an even length all over and she didn’t loc the full length, not even half for some locs. But I wanted to be locced asap, so I am happy to be locced.
