    I’m blessed to have an aunt that does these. She’s eager to do my hair. She wants to do it for free too. She’s a licensed stylist. My grandmother got hers done a few years back and her hair is flourishing 😂. I’m so exited.

    This was soooooooo helpful!! I'm seriously considering getting sisterlocks and am doing all the research I can on them, and even found an R certified locktician in my area from the sisterlock website. I just came to the realization at the age of 44 that I'm tired of dealing with braids, synthetic or human hair, trying to decide to what to do with my natural hair on a daily basis. (I've been natural for over 5 years) I'm all about ease and convenience, and while I understand sisterlocks are a commitment and a lifestyle change and a hit to the wallet, I'm ready for it.

    I am getting my sisterlocks installed for my birthday in December 2015! I just went to my consultation and returned with 8 "test" locks in my hair! Omg I am in love with the locs already. I can't wait to not have to deal with knots and tangles of my kinky hair. I truly believe a bound style like locks is really beneficial to kinky, 4c hair.

    It’s 2019: I got Sisterloc’d in 2009. Wish this video was available back then! “Are those extensions? How much did those braids cost”😫Yes the stares and questions were so annoying. Now it’s “who does your Sisterlocks?”

  • @Woaidajiji
    @Woaidajiji 9 лет назад +5

    Your hair's B-T-Full!
    Those questions are killing me! lol I even got: I love your hair because I know it's real ( white boy) I normally wash my hair every other day with Head & Shoulders. I'm allergic to the petroleum in most hair products so I don't put anything else. That is it! wash- let it dry- braid or put rollers overnight to add volume. I re-tighten it, myself, once a month using safety pins ( movie and wine) lol. I haven't depended on anyone to do my hair in over 3 years!!
    One more thing: I think Head & Shoulders is helping in slowing down the locking process. I didn't want to lock too fast anyway.
    For coloring: I use Henna.
    Again: Your hair is beautiful!!

    • @fayetaylor1998
      @fayetaylor1998 8 лет назад

      I get my install on 9/12/16. I want to eventually learn how to re tighten my own hair as well. Don't really want to depend on anyone. But I will go to the loctician for at least a year to make sure everything is cool. And I also use henna but was worried about using it once I'm loced. How is that working out for you? Is it hard to rinse out of the locs? Does any stay in the locs?

    I love your hair! Thank you so much for the information! I was considering getting sisterlocks because of my lifestyle plus I have 6 kids three of them are girls with a lot of hair. I was thinking about getting their hair done too. Until you mentioned installation time (which I can deal with) and the upkeep (not so sure). I need to watch more of your videos and do more research on them. Right know I'll continue to do mini twists. Sister locks seems so promising.

    • @Brittania718
      @Brittania718  7 лет назад +1

      Yea, for the kiddies, they aren't going to want to sit there for long, at least initially. There's nothing with mini twists until their old enough to sit for an extended period of time. Just know, the longer you and your daughter's hair gets, the more money it may cost to install.

  • @magictrick1976
    @magictrick1976 7 лет назад

    thanks for the video! so what do you think about "dry locking" Sisterlocks? Im on my second set of Sisterlocks (long story). But for certain reasons, I decided on dry cleansing my scalp and hair (more details can be given if needed). when I had traditional locks this "celebrity" stylist would do scalp cleansing on me because she said my texture would take a long time to lock (I took them out after 2 years because they didn't lock lol) and to prevent bunching. all of her clients hair looked BEAUTIFUL, so I trusted her judgment, and I thought that this would be a good idea to try it out now with my Sisterlocks. So far I am extremely happy about the results! it looks like all the bloggers hair on youtube who have all these perfect locks from start to finish as opposed to looking like a shag rug or a wet dog like I did before (I used Sisterlocks products and banded properly and religiously). So my biggest issue now is wanting to know when I should transition from dry washing to "wet" washing my hair with traditional shampoos again. and when I do, should I begin to band again like my Sisterlocks are freshly installed. Thanks :)

      @backtobeautifulhair279 9 лет назад

      +coilygurl Trainees may not have work to show you - that is why they are trainees, still, and not "approved trainees" who are then upgraded to consultants. So make sure you read ALL THAT INFORMATION on the Sisterlocks© website because they are very specific in noting the difference. There are very good reasons to go to a trainee. One is that the Sisterlocks© organization is very strict about the minutiae of every detail of the installation of their locs from installation through execution to completion. Trainees have this fresh knowledge foremost and at the tip of everything they know about hair. Some may be licensed cosmetologist; some may be professional braiders or some may be Sisterlock clients who just thought "I can do that!" who decided to invest in Sisterlock classes. Whomever may be on the Sisterlock website on the trainee list that comes up when you look at it (because they DO move up and on) just KNOW they have more to offer than just a "lower price."

      You're welcome, @ coilygurl! I am so happy that you are happy with your results. Just know that when and if you ever move across town or across state, you can always refer to the Sisterlocks website for a new cosultant. Anyone who is a trainee, approved trainee or certified consultant will always have more knowledge regarding Sisterlocks than a client; so, seek that route first. Happy healthy hair, lady!

    I am going for my sisterlocks consultation in one week. You mentioned in your video that you should not use conditioner or any other creams in your hair. When I go for my consultation should I wash my hair with just shampoo only?

    Hey beautiful, thanks for this video, I wanted to take the plunged next year, but but I’m wondering , if with my 4 type thin hair, sisterlocs be beautiful and “thick” on me. What you think ? thank you💕

    Hello, good info in your video! I'm thinking about getting sisterlocks done within a couple weeks. I want that full look and for my sisterlocks to not be too small. Would it be best for me to get them a little bigger or get them the normal size and wait for them to get fuller and/or thicken up?
