10-Year Visual Sisterlocks Journey | Hair Stages and What To Expect [With Pictures of Each Stage] 

Awesome vlog! I’m actually 5 months in with micro locs. I feel like this was the best decision I made. I feel so free🎉

I clicked on your video bcuz your locs are Amazing and I aspire to reach that stage…I’m 4 years loc’d. Medium sized locs and I love my journey so far. My main issue has been proper moisturizing. I prefer using all natural products and finding that perfect routine is something I’m still working on… I love how my vanity has pushed me to eat healthier, drink more water, be stronger from the inside out and become a natural beauty instead of a superficial beauty. I never much understood the ‘beauty standards’ of the rest of the mainstream world so I never suffered that way with self esteem issues from comparison…I just been wanting to be the loveliest I can be from inside to out. Thanks for sharing your journey!❤

Thanks for the breakdown of the stages. I’m 2 years in and they are starting to drop. I am loving them. I never had an ugly stage cause I was just so happy to not have to comb my hair. I didn’t really care how it looked cause of that. 🤣

Iam 2.5 years into traditional locs. Never looking back. Im 58 so its easier to say that. Also love your travel . Im heading to denmark and sweden in 6 weeks. Several hikes planned and looking forward to it. I've also been to Amsterdam, North Holland, Munich, Austria, Luxembourg, Belgium (Ghent & Bruges). All by car so also all the small town in between. Keep traveling, keep growing mentally and spiritually. Good luck.

I loved your journey to your 10 years of being locked. I have been micro locked for 2 years now, and have enjoyed each stage. When I was first locked and had to braid and band my 4 inches, I had to run to the grocery store quickly, and as I was searching for chicken, a woman walked up to me and asked me what had I done to my hair? Proudly I said to her, These are mocro locs. She asked in an obnoxious way, "why would you do that to your hair?" 😢 At first I was hurt, but then I thought about it for a moment and said, "Well because I love my natural hair, and am tired of trying to be someone I'm not. What really hurt the most is that she was a black woman as well, with relaxed hair... for the most part , I'm always receiving compliments on my locks. I truly love and embrace each and every phase that I have gone through in my two year loc journey. Thanks for your sharing video, it was truly inspiring. Blessings 🙏🏾🤗

OMG I am 12.5 years in with sisterlocs and I wish this video was around then I had such an emotional journey which did make me stronger and appreciate my natural hair I am older than you so my mind set was different so it took a lot to break it but I did and now I'm free this is a Beautiful Video and I hope that everyone whose contemplating locs manage to find this one..

I love your Sisterlocks! They’re so gorgeous! I have them also. March was my 2 year anniversary.

Wow, what a journey! And your hair looks amazing; love the colour!

Great video. I would love if you did a video on self acceptance for natural hair. I have locs but I still struggle fully accepting my natural hair sometimes. so I'd love to hear how others conquer those insecurities

I'm so glad you stuck it out because you and your hair is gorgeous 😍

WOW! BEAUTIFUL 🤔 I’m 10 months in with my sister locks, best decision I’ve ever made 😳

Your locs are so lovely. Thanks for educating us about the different stages; I didn't know they existed. I am 6 months micro locd and, even though I'm looking forward to when my locs will be fully matured, I'm enjoying the process.

I can totally relate to you as my story and my locks are similar to yours. I was tired of the relaxer or texturized look chemical Burns all of that. Then I transition with a silk press every 2 weeks and a weight loss journey. It did not mix. I then started wearing braids, just my hair braided all over ants. I transition once again after that I got my hair sister lock 4 in to 6 in was locked as I had straight ends. The first year being sisterlocked I trimmed my locks. The straight ends off. The second year same thing. I did another big chop trimming that straight ends off the third year. I was over it so I started noticing that my hair then stopped worrying out but started to drop 3 and 1/2 years. I trimmed off all of my straight ends and was mostly natural ly sister locked. It has been 5 and 1/2 years and my locks are thrive and I guess you could say they're in the eld er stage now and I love them. I have no regrets. And it's fourth. I know now I will say that I will be locked for life if that's what God allows me to be. Your hair is very beautiful. I'm truly inspired.

Beautiful vlog, and your hair is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your loc journey. ❤ I've been trying everything with my natural hair already, so I think it is time to loc my hair. 😊

I’m at 17 months, and still waiting patiently for my locks to mature. I’ve loved them from day one, but I just prefer big hair. Mine have always laid flat. I wish I had more volume.

Thanks so much I decided one day to just do them as I live in a small village in Poland we moved around a year ago from London. Had access to products but now not so. I started them myself in January I went in not doing even any research Only learnt about budding and so forth like a month ago Really happy so far and enjoying the process This video is very informative and even more so encouraging God bless you

Gorgeous all around! Thanks for sharing.

Your locs are beautiful! Thank you for sharing your journey w/us. I will be two years in November. My profile pic was my first retie about 6 weeks after. I was thinking about cutting them but after hearing your journey…I will keep going. Today was the first time I put my hair up in a bun.🥰 Peace, Love , & Light to you!☮️💟💡✨

Your locs looks so amazing and the color is just beautiful 💕

I’m not sure what stage I'm in, but if I had to guess, I’d say late teens/early adult🤷🏾‍♀️. Sept 2024 will be 3 yrs for me. My density is reg, strands are fine and curl pattern 4A/4B-C. Ive been able to wash my hair for the last 9 mos w/o braiding and banding, but most of my 4A hair is still loose aka curly ends. I feel like my hair dropped around the 2.3 yr mark. Thanks for this vid👍🏾 your Locs look amazing and the color is everything ❤you are #TeamInspiration❤🥰👍🏾

Your hair is BEAUTIFUL! I love sister locs! I find that they look almost like hair strands, and after a twist out they kind of look like curls! Love to see it🥰

Great vlog sis!! I loved it. I added extensions around My 4th year cuz I just couldn’t wait to style it for longer looks lol. I too enjoyed that Teen stage & I started out with like 3-4inches.

Wow this is a really a trust the process because i loved when you got the adult and elder stages but you looked cute throughout. I started my locs 2 months ago with relaxed hair and some grow out and i'm ready to start trimming my ends. I love your locs. I like the color and size.

Thank you for helping me to define my process❤ I am 19 months in & truly loving my journey. I thinkI’m in the teen stage❣️

Thank you so much for your video! I learnt so much. Totally understand what you say about the spiritual and transformation aspect 🙏🏾

beautiful locs…your statement is so true …sister locs are you sitting with your hair as it is…I’ve been sitting with mine for 3.5 years and it’s amazing

I truly enjoyed this video, lady! You are not being too philosophical at all. My sisterloc journey has definitely been a spiritual journey, indeed! I am learning so much from this process. Your locs are amazing. I absolutely LOVE the color of them. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤

So inspiring! I am 9 months today!!

Thank you for sharing. It helped me in making my decision on what to do with My hair.

Very inspirational, thank you 🙏🏽

Great video and message ❤

Great video, very informative. Also I’ve been to some of the same places you’ve been to, love seeing us abroad!

Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing ❤

I love your locs. I keep watching the videos of all l fully grown and mature SL. I got my brotherlocks (i’m a guy) and i’m currently 6 months in, but i’m struggling so much to love them right now, but I have noticed they have grown and developed a lot from the beginning. I hate this pre locking phase. I’m trusting the process. it feels like i’m trapped in it forever 😂😢

Great video. Thanks

Wow beautiful locs! I’m curious to see what mines will look like at this stage. Today is my 2 year anniversary with micro locs!

Your locs are BEAUTIFUL!!!
