This video popped up in my feed, but I don't have sister locs. I'm a loose natural. It was great watching the beautiful dynamic between you and your mom.💜
Totally get it! Everyone's life circumstances are different. I definitely see myself seeking a loctician once I'm not traveling so much & if I can find one that'll do my hair. A lot politely opt out because of the length of my hair. They've said it's too long!
@UCKfZfpwgtbECDOo_QWw4eRQ mine is getting to that point. I get in moods where I want to cut it down some. I did it a year and a half ago and now it’s long again and I struggle with keeping it long or trimming again 😩
i do half and half...if I am feeling lazy, I pay for it. If I am feeling motivated, I do it myself...It's been 12 years. (Best Decision Ever!) Your mom is correct, my hair does get stuck in stuff.
I'd love to do the same! But since my hair is long + I'm a transfer client, I've had a hard time finding consultants who would be willing to do my hair. And the few times I have, sometimes they try to take advantage of me and try to charge 4x what they should. All the while, 9/10 I can do my hair within the same amount of time it takes many consultants who are not used to retightening locs at this length.
Seeing your locs makes me happy and gives me the confidence in my Loc journey, that one day it will look long and more beautiful than it is now. Thanks for sharing all that you do with your locs. Maintenance of locs is really based on what works for you. That I know.
Great advice from a beautiful Mom & Daughter combo ❤ My oldest (22) has waist-length locs & my youngest (9) has locs past his shoulders. Neither have had haircuts.
I'm excited to try sisterlocks since watching your video. Both of you are so beautiful. I had locks for 12 yrs. But I had to let it go, I was so heartbroken. And now, 15 years later, I want to try sister locks. Thank you great video. Much ❤️
You're both beautiful and I am in love with you ladies hair. I was thinking about getting sister locs as I get older so this was a nice video to watch. Thank you for sharing 💕
Great video. I really enjoyed your relationship. I've had mine for 10 years now (will be 11 in November). I love that I don't have to think about my hair. I don't retight myself. I live in Ghana so I don't find paying too much for me. I go every 6 weeks. My length is about your mum's (I cut off 4 inches last year on the 10th anniversary to get off bleached ends from when I first got them).
I glad you pop up this afternoon... You reference your locks: sister locks. Here in Duval i am told they are micro locks. Nevertheless, I really like this type lock; but not the length of time to complete the process of applying, and the unraveling them. And, I don't think I'm ready for soo many many many tiny locks. I'm still trying to weigh the pros and cons and some one on a few occasions to assist me with befitting hair styles and maintaining healthy locks.
I am a loose natural and had been on the fence about dreads. Bout i always knew if i was gonna do it it would be sister locs. You, your Mom & Sister have definitely given Me the Courage to start my Sister lock journey. Thank you so much for the Education and the Entertainment as well. You Ladies are Absolutely Beautiful 😍❤✨️ & Like Mama said, "y'all hair is Poppin!"⭐️🌈🔥
Just to clarify, she has sisterlocks! The twists you may be referring to is how she twists her sisterlocks into sections of twists to make her hair at this length less likely to get caught in things. Her sisterlocks were established using the sisterlocks method. Not twists or braids that were left in to eventually loc. If I misunderstood you, disregard my comment!
I had a bad reaction to human hair as well. It was my first and last time buying human hair. I had locs for 5 years, waist length. I now am doing microlocs.
This was so informative. I will learn to do my retye. I'm nine months in. My locks are coming in good. My hair is turning grey. I may in the future use henna for my grey, but now it looks good. I will subscribe to your channel to get more information about caring for my locks.
Yes, but that's normal. The longer your hair, the heavier it is. Curls will always have longer lasting volume the shorter it is. But you can still have long lasting curls at any length. Here are some of my tips for long lasting curls (in the caption) if that interests you! instagram.com/p/Ct9aD7lOYwD/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
I go on March 4, 2024 for my sisterlocks. I know my mother will say she hates them. Im loose natural. So refreshing to see mother and daughter having this relationship. But oh well im tired of looking like white jesus
I'm not a loctician or certified in any way and will never claim to be! That said, if you're only 9 months in, your locs are likely still in the budding phase. It's normal for them to have thicker ends. They'll look thinner at the scalp because freshly retightened hair is essentially a new loc. Over time, you locs will mature and look more condensed and less thick along the entire shaft.
That's normal. As your hair sheds, it becomes a part of the loc. Just make sure that when you get reties, it isn't painful or giving you a headache. In that case, your hair is probably being pulled too tight.

I enjoyed seeing you and mom chat and vibe on locs. Thanks for the interesting video. Questions: What isnyiur hair porosity? What is your mom's hair porosity? For your mom: has her hair growth changed over the years? If yes, how so? Has she ever had any issues with her locs thinning over the years? Some women have some thinning as they go through the change of life has she or even any mature lady friends or family dealt with that on their loc or natural hair journey and if so, what might she/they suggest to help keep the hair from further thinning or shedding? Blessings sis.
My porosity = high Mom porosity = "normal" No change in hair growth or thinning. She's always had finer edges but same hair density throughout her life. So she can't speak on those experiences but they are normal!
Maybe you can brush them out? Or pay someone to? It will be a long while but I personally could never shave my hair off and would opt for that instead of cutting
Hi I have a question I have been sisterlocked for 4 months now I recently got my 3 retie and Loctitian has add another lock or 2 I was wondering did your mother start off with 1000 locks are did add some through the process?
I'm a little discouraged. I noticed you can do several styles in your 733 locs, whereas I can barely do anything in my 540 sisterlocks (but a half up/half down style) because my hair is too thick. I'm curious to know, are sisterlocks easier to style when you have smaller locs and a larger number of locs (my sisterlocks are on the Medium-large side)? I can barely put mine in a low ponytail, let alone a high one. For more context, I'm 2.5 years in my journey and my hair is about 3" past my shoulders. Also, I have very dense hair, enough hair for 3-4 people. I never had the plucked chicken look when I got my locs installed. Other than my hairline, I couldn't see my scalp. Thanks, in advance!🙏
I use a giant satin scrunchie on amazon or a faux sisterloc strand to tie it in a ponytail works wonders my hair is super dense as well can't fit in a regular ponytail holder. And if I don't have that I use my own locs to tie a ponytail or updo.
Has your mom considered cutting the length of her hair? It seems as if length has made things like styling and going through security at an airport a problem. I would cut it if I had her length, just a bit, to make it more manageable.

Not at all. Like raw coconut oil in it's solid form, take a very small amount in the palm of your hand and wait for it to melt before applying to your hair. And she doesn't use it very often. At most maybe biweekly. Keep in mind that it's not just shea butter. The majority of it is other oils that she blends into a mixture with a bit of shea butter. It's 3 parts oil, 1 part shea butter.
@@ImaniGoodridge Thanks. Love both you and your mom’s locs. Considering switching to 2 point rotation for my daughter’s micro locs and thought I’d ask. 🙂
Hello, help! I’m an orphan sister who relocated from Chicago to Texas seven months ago. I lived in the suburbs of Round Rock. I found a great salon in Austin, but unfortunately, she had to drop me off, so now I’m looking for someone in my area to do my hair. I’ve searched the Sister Locks website but cannot find anyone. It’s been eight weeks since my last retighting session. I hope you can help me. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Appreciation

Aw thanks for sticking around and watching!
I agree. Very pleasant 👥
Both mother and daughter hair looks good.
I did my own retries for a little bit but when I got pregnant it was hard to maintain myself. Now I have an amazing Loctician and I go every 4 weeks

One of my favorite videos of yours is the one with your twin sister and you and your mom. So looking forward to this one, FAQ with Mom.
Both you ladies are beautiful. Thanks for the advice. I have been loc'd 3 years and have no regrets.
Happy to see you all doing what works for your locs and not what others tell you you SHOULD do. Mature locs, that is.
I am 10 months in an loving the journey! You and your mom are definitely hair GOALS… ❤
I’m just a little over a year and am wanting to start self-retightening! Y’all are such inspiration and have such beautiful locs 😍💗
Love momma! She is so witty and funny 🥰

It’s interesting to know the mother has twisted locks opposed to the braided because I was curious about the method. Thanks for the insight.

Do you find your curls to be looser as your hair grows longer? I’m armpit length, and now that my hair is on my back it doesn’t have as much volume.
Yes, but that's normal. The longer your hair, the heavier it is. Curls will always have longer lasting volume the shorter it is. But you can still have long lasting curls at any length.

My Mom hated mine at first too. She now tells me that she loves them and can't imagine me without them.
Enjoy your loc journey!
I'm 9 months in and my locs thin at scalp and thick on the ends... Is that normal on the journey? Or will they thicken later for each individual loc?
I'm not a loctician or certified in any way and will never claim to be! That said, if you're only 9 months in, your locs are likely still in the budding phase. It's normal for them to have thicker ends. They'll look thinner at the scalp because freshly retightened hair is essentially a new loc. Over time, you locs will mature and look more condensed and less thick along the entire shaft.
@@ImaniGoodridge thx much and I'll be patient 🙏🏽🤗
Also just to add to the tips above mine, you might have to tell them not to retighten your locs too much. It shouldn't be painful and scalpy
I’m having an issue with white bulbs showing up in my sisterlocs. Is that a normal process? Or is my hair being pulled too tight?
That's normal. As your hair sheds, it becomes a part of the loc. Just make sure that when you get reties, it isn't painful or giving you a headache. In that case, your hair is probably being pulled too tight.
I am 10 months in and now I am seeing a lot of white bulbs . Very noticeable after my wash

Styling is definitely easier with smaller locs because the smaller the locs are the more they act like hair strands
I use a giant satin scrunchie on amazon or a faux sisterloc strand to tie it in a ponytail works wonders my hair is super dense as well can't fit in a regular ponytail holder. And if I don't have that I use my own locs to tie a ponytail or updo.
