😝🙄Sisterlocks and Knotted Locs are a beautiful hairstyle, but as a way of life, it is not for everyone. No Loc is for EVERYONE all the time. It's not just Sisterlocks. Knotted locs may not be for you either. Learn why!. Learn all you can so that you can approach this journey from a place of empowerment, not denial or ignorance.Sisterlocks and other locs, and the locticians who maintain these styles may not be your best choice. Even if you are a DIYer, you need the i side scoop on how to keep your hair strong. Sisterlocks and what is required to maintain this style makes it an at-risk hairstyle, and wearers must be vigilant to avoid and mitigate hair loss and other complications arising from hair damage. Thousands of women are beginning to share their stories and pain behind these beautiful hairstyles marketed or accepted as the solution for all your small loc dreams. The long term impact of painful and frequent retightenings, loss of hair pliability (due to inadequate oil and moisture), excessive tension on the scalp, maintaining the grid, and so many other factors can be devastating. Choose wisely!

You literally said a year ago that you would investigate KL and report back. In that time you found a BETTER and DIFFERENT way to execute this with minimal damage and chose to share your experience with others. I don’t understand what the issue is.
This is Annie Malone and Madame CJ Walker all over again. However, Melissa admits it’s hair and a technique. No one has trade marked dreadlocks or dreads. Yes, she was hurt by a friend and can and should be able to express herself.
Hold on a minute..... I'm so confused. A few months ago you were saying that you couldn't train knotted locs and were referring people to M.Blakes. But now it seems like you have stolen her idea and trying to profit off of it yourself!
What is going on here?????
She stated that through the knotted locs process and trial and error she has come up with her own version of knotted locs which is exactly what she did with Sister locs. If You put knotted locs into the search engine you would realize that there are others that have done their own version of knotted locs as well. If what you are saying is true then she could be sued and not solely accused, right? Come on let's BE better 🙏
@@dashingnurse5098 well if this is her new and improved version of Melissa's KL, why did she not name it something else???
@@ted2800 she did, "righteous locs"
@@ted2800 she did, "righteous locs"
@@ted2800 to be clear I said new. I didn't say improved because I haven't taken her course, yet 🙏
You have my support 100%! Ignore the haters, and don't engage with people that are trying to drag you down. You have made outstanding strides in the sisterlock community and have helped thousands of women save their hair. You are keeping the misinformed knowledgable! Keep doing EXACTLY what you are doing. Your day 1s know what's up.
Melissa Blake CREATED Knotted Locs, take the one on one course from Melissa Blake.
Knotted locs is Not patented. Melissa is a narcissist she plays victim she did this to Annette Clark she owns ( Almacado)
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and not being secretive!
Thank you for sharing. It is very important that you explain to people when to use not locks, when to use interlock and I know your daughter has traditional Lock so I know that there’s a wealth of experience that you have. I think it is really important that You be successful in this mission. Part of African-American community loving themselves is being able to embrace and love their hair and understand it. The art of taking care of our hair was lost in a few of us who are in the natural hair community now are regaining that knowledge. Please do not take in all the negativity around this aspect of your journey. Just like the crown act was very important for the United States to pass people who have the skills to be able to rebirth rights to understanding how to manage our hair so critical it important. I’m doing voice to text so please excuse the grammar. It is about self love. I heard a rant from the no locks creator regarding yourself and I’m asking you to disregard that. I was not in my locks before I even saw her or anyone else doing it. I don’t not all of them. I just not a few of them and I have my reasons. Specifically just to make sure I salvage a lot strengthen a lot or stop one of my locks from unraveling.for the most part. Keep up the good work and please ignore the haters.
You are right you learn as you go as with anything but it’s so freeing to take control of your own hair and learning what’s best for your strands in whatever style of locs you choose. Much love ❤️ and very sorry for the loss of your Dad 🤗🙏🏽
I just dont understand how these 2 sisters couldn't merge techniques and share the bounty. Tunisia owes Melissa at least the respect of asking her for permission or her blessings to sell an inprovement on her product.
An individual owed the women more who paid the price for her inability to evolve and provide the services we all paid for. When one dishonors a blessing from the divine , the mantle is passed on. I will be held to the same expectation.
I can understand how so many of you are upset and feel Tunisa stole Melissa's idea. I don't really see how this is any different from everyone doing Microlocks in pretty much an identical way of Sisterlocks are installed for the most part. Using a similar or same grid,retightening etc. Even SL consultants offer Microlocks and will tell you its the same as SL's, just less expensive. Joanna Cornwell invested many hours, time, money and effort and small locks have become so commonplace that no one cares that her idea was stolen or copied. It seems inevitable that this would happen with knotted locs or with any hairstyle or product. I would'nt like it if i were the creator, but its the way that it is.
@@Karla-mu6hn good point
That’s incorrect sis. I have SL’s and know plenty of people including my own consultant who offer both. Their ML’s cost less for a reason such as not following the same exact grid pattern, 4 point rotation etc which is less time consuming. Otherwise, they may tell you it’s different then do the exact same thing, and charge the exact same amount.
Tunishia, what do YOU say about this? I see what others and Melissa are saying. Let's hear from you?
She doesn't have to respond. In fact, I agree with her silence. Check out the lack of comments on Melissa's channel. There is absolutely no point getting into a slagging match over this. There is no going back, only moving forward. So people can throw insults, but it is not going to work. Tunisia is meeting a need. It is just economics... Demand and supply 🙏
@cloudspl392
She's a big girl and can speak for herself. What? She has mouthpieces now? She has always been real about her take on the branding of sisterlocs and we all respect her for that. So let's not speak for someone who is more than able to do so for HERSELF!
If SHE chooses to be silent... I respect that too. But please don't speak for her.
@@mlt2458 I am not speaking for anyone, just sharing my observations and conjecture like everyone else. You have said you are OK with her silence too! It looks like there is nothing more to say.
Well all is not lost. Melissa has a significant following. People who are loyal will remain loyal and those just learning about knotted locs will want to know more. When I was a child, I loved the game snakes and ladders. It was always thrilling and exciting when you landed on a square with a ladder. You felt you were going places! However, when you landed on a square with a snake you felt as though you were back at square one! As I have grown up, I have come to realise that snakes are not really obstacles, but opportunities to learn, grow and perhaps even re-invent yourself.
I say all that to say, it is an opportunity for Melissa to do something different. People are asking for an online course and less secrecy. Perhaps this seemingly devastating situation is just an opportunity in disguise 🤔
MELISSA BLAKE is the ORIGINATOR and CREATOR of Knotted Locs.
She taught Tunisia, who is now attempting to steal her intellectual property. This is abhorrent and wrong.
Melissa is the only person to teach this technique, as it is her invention.
Whatever course Tunisia is selling will put your hair at risk; she is UNQUALIFIED to teach K.L.
I know I’m confused. Now Melissa Blake is blasting her for stealing her technique.
It's always those closest to you that stab you in the back!
Perhaps Melissa should have created an online course because she cannot be everywhere. I wondered whether someone might do this because it is a great idea but only remains with the person who created it until she shares it with someone else.
I have had a look at the different parts of the Righteous Hair Course (without signing up) and it doesn't focus on Knotted Locks alone.
I think it would have been better to work something out amicably, but here we are 🙏🏾
@@cloudspl392 why work out something amicably? This is Melissa's idea. Tunisia befriended her to stab her in the back. #thatsnastywork
@@ted2800 All I am saying is that throughout the age people have taken other people's ideas and products, copied them or refined them and made them their own. It is unfortunate, but it is a part of life.
Sorry to hear your dear father has passed.
May his memory be a Blessing. ❤️💛💚
Melissa trusted you, Tunisia. 💔
I want to say this. Knotted locs are NOT patented. Melissa cannot sue from Europe to the US she didn’t steal anything from Melissa. There were comments on her page, but she deleted them. Melissa have bullied Annette Clark she the creator of (Almocado ) Melissa was harassing her. I believe Annette had to call the police on her. Melissa don’t own knotted locs just like microlocs. No one owns microlocs it’s not patented. I stand and support Tunisia❤
@@anastasiarenaud2568 I did my research, I’ve spoke with 2 attorneys who deals with patents here in the states. Melissa cannot sue her.
@@anastasiarenaud2568 The only possible way that she can say that it is her idea is the name is the same. Perhaps a rethink of the the name from 'knotted locs' to 'knots in locs' would solve that issue. There is nothing new under the sun. 🌞
Condolences on your father’s passing 🩵🩵
You’re looking radiant my sister❤
I listened to Mellisa Blake in her entirety and this does not feel right.
That's because you listened to her. LOL.
@@TunisiaAli Of course I listened. I have listened to you too in the past. Suggesting that listening to someone is foolish sounds devious. I suspect you will not prosper as you think you will.
Thank you for this valuable information! My sincere condolences to you and your Family!
Ms Blake's is Pissed. She's allover the internet 😢
Understandably so
Thank you! I was waiting on this moment.
After deliberate investigation on behalf of my Sister Tunisia. I can say i that fully support her on her expertise on the Knotted loc method that she has made her own. Melissa Blakes has made claims that Tunisia is a thief and is not qualified to teach anything regarding hair or knotted locs. Which is not true at all. The proof is in the evidence look at my beautiful sister's hair! It is long, thick and healthy. So she clearly is doing something right. Period.
Regardless of the fact that Tunisia learned this method from Melissa from observation thru video because she is in the UK.
This method is Not Patented to only be used by Melissa.
This goes for any type of loc or braiding style. There are hundreds of thousands of women that teach the same type of techniques alllll the time!! That is way things goes.
There is enough space and energy to go around. You go where the teaching and energy resonates.
Keep doing what feels right for YOU.
I know for a fact that my Sis did tell Melissa that she was going to do consults on knotted locs, and she was fine with that until ppl started to come into her ear. Now she feeling a type of way.
No need to slander Tunisia's name or the hard work that she has put into her hair and her products that have helped so many ppl actually Grow their hair back.
Blessed and highly favored as always.
I love you sis and got your back as always 💜
I was not feeling the secrecy of Knotted Locs. It's a knot for goodness sake.
I totally agree with you!!!!!
@@sarahwilliams5777her most recent live
@@anastasiarenaud2568Melissa needs to TM it.
@@anastasiarenaud2568Appropriate steps need to be taken to trademark and effectively protect intellectual property. If I was Ms. Blake and wanted to share something that I considered my intellectual property, I would go through the appropriate avenues to protect.
Agreed. This was a shady move from Tunisia and she seems too narcissistic to realize it. @@anastasiarenaud2568
Having watched the video, I can see where Tunisia is coming from. She has transitioned to knotted locs and has gone through the process of maintaining her own hair using this method for a year and wants to share what she has learnt with others.
I have to say, creating an online course seems far better than asking people to book an appointment, especially when you know that you are extremely busy and unlikely to be able to fit them in. Also, someone can sign up for an online knotted locs course, pay, complete the course and then decide if the method is for them. That way people learn more about knotted locs and can make an informed decision as to whether it is a good method for them. It is a win win.
I have to agree with what someone else posted, there is too much secrecy around knotted locs. Creating an online course can eliminate all that secrecy and that is what Tunisia Ali seems to be doing. 🙏🏾
Thissss!! The secrecy has gone TO FAR and She’s literally charging blk women $600+ to learn her “new method” ( which is definitely not new) Melissa’s business practice is no better than the s!sterloc cult 🤦🏾♀️ (greed has definitely gotten to her)
I agree☝️ the secrecy feels just like when ssterlocks were created. At least with Tunisia’s courses more ppl can learn since M is always busy
@@ER-tv1em if you're broke and don't want to afford Mel's course, just say that.
Melissa always makes time for her clients. I'm on a different continwnt and I was able to save up for the course, be well taught and mentored by her.
People have a right to control their intellectual property . She worked hard and wants to reap the benefits.
Sisterlocs are wayyyy pricier and more exclusive/militant. Your statement is a strange cop out, imo
@@judithpriestess7781shut up
@@judithpriestess7781 It is not a strange cop out, it is providing a balanced argument of both sides. Melissa says herself that she is so busy. I am merely taking her at her word.
How can you protect the knotted locs idea? It is not possible, but if you are able to shed some light on how that can be done, I'm all ears.
I am not saying what has happened is right or wrong. None of what has happened is about the people commenting. We are simply stating how it looks to us and we are all entitled to our opinions. Furthermore, it doesn't change anything. I don't think it will stop with Tunisia. I think as the idea grows in popularity, others will do the same. It's just life and how it goes. I don't think there is any chance of some sort of reconciliation, but I wish both women well 🙏🏾
I have not watched this video yet, but hope to today. I have read the comments and saw Melissa Blake's short on not to trust Tunisia Ali with teaching knotted locs. Oh boy!
The philosophical person in me says I hear you Melissa, you have spent years perfecting a method that works, so I can see your outrage. On the other hand, who really owns people putting knots in their hair? The idea of people putting knots in the hair cannot be new. Can anyone really prevent another person from showing others this method? Who knows whether the women who paid Melissa for the training are not now showing or teaching others? I think it is a difficult one, but I also think this is what happens and has happened with ideas and products over the centuries. 🙏🏾
When you steal someone’s idea it doesn’t make it right. A thief is just a thief. I’ve never heard anyone else with this method , when, she even herself when she started was mentioning Melissa. If your gonna use someone’s idea that you know their making their money from you work out a deal with them. Sister Locs founder is known for her method and has made her living from it, this is a total takeover of someone else’s work, that’s just not right.
@@ekechi100 I hear you. Do you think you would feel differently if the person had never heard of Melissa Blake, lives in the deepest parts of Nigeria, Africa and is just teaching knotted locs because it is something that her grandmother used to do when she was a young woman?
@@cloudspl392This is not the case here. This lady befriended someone to learn her ideas , which was already established, to steal her ideas. She saw her opportunity, she didn’t make her own.
@@ekechi100 OK 🙏🏾
This is true. For example, Dr. C developed the Sisterlocks system and someone stole her concept and named it Microlocs. It's just the game or inventing and reinventing someone else's idea.
I need this. Where do I sign up!!!
Sorry for your loss; condolences.
Thank you
You have my support!! You have done nothing wrong. Nobody owns a damn knot.
My condolences 💐 sorry to hear about ur father 💔
❤Sorry for your loss Turnisa ❤
I hit those three dots in my RUclips subscription and unsubscribe from the Blakes person. Tying knots in hair, shoe string, etc. is not something she invented...SMH...
Me too, I unsubscribed from MB this am. I don’t see the issue, people perfect a craft all the time that they see someone else do. Maybe MB should’ve pattend this method, she was really gate keeping to me and over charging. I tried going through her and she wanted $650 and that’s absurd really and greed to not even be able to touch my hair help me and do something to it but just a video. Uh no, I had the money to spend but still felt it was crazy because of her responses when I would ask questions on if it was just one session for $650 or would I be able to come back later with questions. So I support TA.
I think the issue is more than just the idea of her owning KL. These ladies had developed a friendship. The issue of trust is paramount. Why just not tell your friend what you were planning to do. Please ladies try to remember that this is a breach of trust. You don’t do this to your friend. You don’t do this to a sista.
@@NicolaThame 100%
And this right here is where the problem is. Melissa could care less about a knot or a loc ITS THE FRIENDSHIP and trust that cause the problem
