Welcome to my channel!! On May 24, 2020, I made the decision to get Sisterlocks established. Since that day, I have been documenting my journey. I want to show everyone just how beautiful these form of locks are. What are sisterlocks you may ask? Well, according to the official website, "Sisterlocks are tiny uniform locks that are the result of a precision parting grid, and the use a specialized tool used to place the hair into its locking formation."
Created and trademarked in 1993 by Dr.JoAnne Cronwell, this style has helped women and men of the African diaspora fall in love with what was once called "Nappy Hair"! I am thrilled to have them and I am excited to have you on this journey with me!
I am glad i found your channel. You are such a delight to listen to regarding sisterlocks. I like your positiveness. You have a new subscriber. I am getting my install in a couple of weeks. By the way your locs are beautiful and have thrived from the start of your 1st install. Congrats on your 1st retie 🎉😊!!
Looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 just cut my traditional locs off after 8yrs and started my new SL journey last weekend - I love mine too, even though my hair is short like 3-4inches I still love all 404 of them.
I'm thinking of getting sisterlocs, because I have sensitive scalp and hate tension on my scalp...yes I heard when traditional locs are wet they can get really heavy, which is what I wouldn't like....how about if I get smaller locs....and the retwist, it looks painful and I don't want tension bumps. Does retightening sisterlocs hurt?...
I’m almost one month in, and my sisterlocks got me looking like a plucked chicken. Yesterday was literally the first day I thought they looked okay. I’m hoping my first wash this weekend will make them look even better, but ultimately I know it’s really just going to take time. I am also optimistic seeing just how fast my hair grows in a month, so I think I might reach my modest length goal the first year.
I’m 2 months in my hair is about 5-6 inches. I know this sounds crazy but I talk to my hair saying how beautiful, long, and mighty they are. I curl my hair to give it a nice stretch then I go into styling. I let my hair do it’s thing and just enjoy the process and ignore if they’ve grown a inch. Yes I get the stares from other black women, some compliment, or just stares. Mostly the black men would say how good it looks. I just take it all in and be confident. Remember black women this is us whether short or long. As you get your reties your hair will get to a comfortable length .
😂 I understand! It will come quick. I have ponytail holders and clips that I brought and saved for when my hair grew longer. I can use them now and can't nobody tell me NOTHING 😂
I am one month in and started with three to four inches of hair, established on June 19th 2022, and I am guilty of saying those very words. Thank you for the encouragement not to speak those words because they do have a negative connotation. But I am enjoying the journey they're changing every day and some Styles I do look better than others. I'll have to go on Amazon to look for some more Satin lined headbands. Thank you for the video. Sending love from the DMV.
DMV stand up! 😂 Thank you for watching 😊 and thanks for the love ❤! You are going to be surprised at how fast they grow and flourish! I still can't believe i just hit two years and they touch my shoulder now. Sisterlocks are definitely something that required US to see, maintain and love on our hair differently, but it's so worth it! ❤
Hi Amber, it's been a while..your hair has really grown! Wow! I'm 11 months in and 1 year next month! Excited to say the least! My hair is growing so fast!
I had to wash my hair before my 4 week suggested wait when I first installed my locs. I continue to interlock my locs when I have about 2 inches of new growth. I interlock my hair by sections so I never have to interlock my whole head at my ne sitting.
I just did my first self-retightening two weeks ago at my one year mark of having Sisterlocks. It took me two days with a few breaks and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I used two mirrors, front and back. I’m satisfied with my outcome. 🤗
I was a bit on edge about it at first, but I am glad to have had the experience. It really wasn't that bad. And I definitely took naps and breaks along the way 😂
Thanks for the video. It's been awhile, since you've made one for us.😊 One question - how often do you get your reties? And did the timing change as your journey progressed?
I agree about the detailing. I detailed mine before installment and it was still tangled. And my loctician was kinda rough. I had to check her lightly. Lol! I
Thanks so much for this video. You always deliver good info. Your description of the ends described mine perfectly. I have a few buds, I have a few buds with straight ends and some ends looking like they did, when I first got established. They are being stubborn. 🤣 Please continue with monthly updates. I use your videos like I did with the book "What to Expect When You're Pregnant" - a month to month guide.😊
Aw thanks for watching! I stopped making them so often because I didn't feel like it was entertaining enough since I don't do much to my hair. Lol. However, I am definitely planning on releasing another update on them soon as I am almost at 2 years.
