Sisterlocks Update: What I Love & What I Hate | CeCe Olisa 

I totally just watched this whole videos as a white girl with that straightest hair ever. 1. Because I really like you 2. I’m super curious and it’s something I literally know nothing about. I love learning new things about other people and cultures. 😀and I’m probably going to go watch all of the other sister lock videos now. I have so much to learn!

Literally 2:30 into your video and I had to pause to subscribe and comment. I love your personality and energy. Thank you for being effortlessly awesome!

Your energy is highly contagious ❤

Very informative video. I would suggest using a soft/medium bristle toothbrush or better your fingers. Castor oil is great for thickening with Rosemary for growth.

I absolutely love your locks and your personality!!!

You have such a beautiful speaking voice! I enjoyed the content and listening to you! :)

I am so impatient with some people and their videos, but truly thank you...I do not have sisterlocks yet...should be getting them in a week. I enjoyed the info...hope a great man of God...strong and confident in who God is that he sees you and can be all that you need...and you be what he needs...that you both be an awesome force for the kingdom of God.

I love your energy and your Sisterlocs!!!! New Subscriber!!😍

For edges, try putting a dab of black castor oil cause if not washing often enough, coconut oil encourages fungal growth which in turn doesnt help edge growth. Can be a bad smell though so hence I said 'a dab'. Hope it helps. Im an RN who had to big chop her locks for the same edge reasons. Working on getting back my edges now over 2 years.

Prices are similar to what I paid. Worth EVERY DIME!!! I LOVE MY SISTERLOCKS!!!

here watching

Ok seriously last comment, I greatly enjoyed your video and wish we were friends! Lol New subscriber and I get my establishment starting November 10th. I absolutely budgeted $1200 and like you said, gave myself grace to go up or down. #smart

Ok last comment, also loved that you’re not into waving the baby hair with sisterlocks...literally LOL 😆

I'm thinking about getting sisterlocks, and so I found you.

I love your video and bubbly personality. I live in SC I want to get sister locks but not sure I can my hair is really short and I am looking for a consultant. How can I find a reputable person?

Hi Cece Ilisa how do yoy mousturise youe locks

🩷🩷🩷

I don't want my hand like this for 80 years 😎😂😂😂😂

As a Latina with extremely straight non-wavy hair I love your sister-locks and wish there was something like that for me to add texture and body to my own hair. So, yes I did watch it till the end! Also, I heard the spirit call!

"if the white girls can run around with the messy buns and the starbucks cups and be cute why cant we?" LOL ...legit love you :)

Did anyone else jam out to the last 3 minutes of the vid? Thank you, CeCe for being you so true & authentic and sharing it with us. I am so bright eyed and bushy tailed right now and I am super grateful!

First off I’m loving that reading the comments and you have people who watching and leaving comments who don’t know what Sisterlocks are!!! Love this video and glad I found your channel!! This is motivating! Your locs are Fire❤️❤️ You’re not supposed to pull off the (Buds) or Balls!!! It’s apart of the locking process!😘

The culprit is that hard bristle brush! I have sisterlocks too (locked at 15 inches and thriving) and I have never put a brush to my hair at all. You’re also brushing it very forcefully. Good luck!

hello! I am not black (nor plus sized) so probably not your target audience but I really enjoy all your videos, and I've been watching since PSP! I also have no black female friends, but still don't want specific groups of women to feel like "other" to me.

I am Mexican AF but my daughter and I sat and watched your whole video! I watched it because I think it's a beautiful hairstyle but I didn't know exactly what they were or how the style is achieved. So I learned something new today!

it took me a week to do my microlocks and people constantly ask me who did your sisterlocks lol, i did research and was determined not because of the price, i just don’t like other people’s hands in my head. I have 517 microlocs and it cost 0 dollars lol

I'm a year 3 and had to switch shampoos to stop my shedding outside the lock. Dont brush your edges. 4vweeks may be too soon for your retight. Keep your hands out your hair so often. Your a going from root to tip. That's the opposite of how we detangle our hair. So smooth your locs then kind of detangle from bottom to top or flip your hair with your head and be really be gentle. ....sorry for the mouth full.

I love how you represent! This video gave me so much life, partly because your hair is SOOOO beautiful and I've enjoyed watching the Sisterlock journey, but also because you always drop those gems of knowledge and womanist encouragement. I started following you a long time ago and it's true joy to see you flourishing! Much much love Ms.Cece!

Really enjoyed the video! I love learning new things, plus it gives me better understanding when my students and friends of African descent discuss their hair. You are a beauty and a wonderful person. Been following you for years; thankful for you!

I’m not on RU-vid often, but GIRL I’ve watched you for years, and you made me smile then and you make me smile now. Thanks for perking me up

I don't have sis locks but considering it... and your video photo captured my attention... your hair is gorgeous!

Use a silk pillowcase and give your hair a break from the bonnets...🤷🏾‍♀️

A quick tap tip with the bonnet, turn it inside out. The band has a tendency to irritate your headline/edges. But I totally understand what you mean about putting products on your edges. I feel the same and I hate it

I am white. I thought the video was interesting. You inspire me every single day to live the best life I can figure out. I have done tons of stuff to my own hair. Beauty schools and high end salons in my area use hair models to train students/staff and I have always been happy to let the stylists play for a fresh look for practically free. I am also curious about everything. I am so glad you are healthy and doing well CeCe. God Bless You!

YASSS!!! I watched the WHOLE video! Mainly because I'm always curious about how other cultures take care of their hair and skin because I'm a makeup artist in Texas and get all types of clients. It's interesting conversation, too! I loved this!

I completely agree about the money!!! I have sisterlocks now going into my 4th year in April. It was and is worth every dime. I pay $125 every 6 weeks and I feel that is a fair price. I have very thick hair like you and our locs are similar. I have been using Apogee spray conditioner but feel my hair is now a little resistant to it so thanks for the tip on another spray conditioner option. My tip for you on your edges is to use Aloe Vera Gel the pulpee kind at GNC. The back of my hair was doing what your front is doing. Use it two to three times a week and those edges will come back thicker and fuller. Love your videos. Keep them coming!

It's the brush...

I love your outlook on spending the money to get Sisterlocks. I agree. I'm close to getting mine. Hope they come out similar to yours.

YOU JUST MADE MY DAY! I CAN'T WAIT TO START MY JOURNEY.

I can't believe that I just now found your channel today (6/1/19) and this video is my first video of your that I have watched. I'm currently 8 days away from being sisterlocked for a year and I can't believe how fast this year has gone! Can't wait until I'm in my 4th year of being locked and my hair gets that long. I have documented my journey so far on RU-vid with my sistelock journey, but have fallen off a little over the last few months due to some personal issues. Your video has given me the motivation I need ramp up my channel and go into my year of being sisterlock with purpose! Love this video and I'm about to watch more of your other videos and get caught up on you as I workout and am a NPC figure competitor! You are great and you have a new subscriber with me!

It’s about time!!!!! You’ve kept us waiting😫🇬🇧

how about a silk pillow too, good for less stress against edges and better for skin doesn't draw away moisture…love yr hair not black or have locks but loooove yr hair…lets face it yr gorgeous….love yr personality …soothing, insightful, humorous…been a fan for years!

yup watched the whole video, dont have sister locks, but I find your spunk is absolutely contagious, funny and entertaining

I still ❤ you! I been following you on your sisterlock journey & also when you decided to get fit (if I that's proper)! your amazing! I took my sisterlocks out last month, after having them 2 years & watching you, pushing me towards getting them back again. I had to take them down b/c they were tied to negative energy & I'm so about a totally new me from the inside out. #queen your beautiful

your messy bun is life! I can't wait!!!!!!

Yep, I found you because of Sisterlocks and subscribed because of your personality!

My goodness! You are so delightful. I'm Black, and I don't have sisterlocks. I watched the whole thing to learn more. Your personality is so fun! The joy of life is in you. 😊 Good luck dating!! I know those challenges ..... 😏

Now your sister locs are the most beautiful locs i have seen. These are so healthy and beautiful. I have starter locs and mine are small but i like to look at the sister loc videos. Thanks for sharing.

Love your Sisterlocks. I’m 2 years in. Love your energy!!

Hey Cece thanks for the swimming with locs tip! Also your sister locs are so pretty they have me considering cutting my locs and starting over 🙈

I can't believe it's been four years! Your hair looks great. You look great.

Cece!! Leave your edges alone. Honestly, our edges arent suppose to be smooth. If you want to smooth them use your finger and wrap them with ask or satin tie. Lastly your ends are trying to lock but you keep pulling the balls off. Haha, keep your hand out of your hair. It's beautiful and thick. Let do it's thing. I've been locked for 7 years!

I'm sitting here at work and I just love you. So informative and funny

Hi CeCe, first of all your hair is gorgeous and long. I like how you are so attentive to your hair, scalp, etc. I think people think because our hair is generally course and with that being said we can be so harsh with our type of hair. Thanks for letting us know to pay attention to yourself.

I absolutely love your personality!!!

Great Sis! Its nothing better than loving your hair!

I don’t have Sisterlocs, but I’m seriously considering them and you’re video is a part of my research 😊 thank you.

Im 60+ and white...loved the video. Im naturaly curious and found this fasinating!! Love learning new things and I could literaly listen to you all day!!😗

Your locs are GORGEOUS!!

This video was so helpful I’m seriously considering getting sisterlocks and I love your personality 😍😘👌🏾

Yes girl I watched it! I just think they are so pretty and was just naturally curious! 😁😍

I just love you girl!!!! More videos please & thank you! 😊

Don’t have sister locs but I’m definitely interested after being natural for over 7 years. Love this video very informative and your personality is great

I was at the gym and was looking for something to watch while on the teadmill😊. Love your video! And, yes on the messy bun! Can’t wait to rock one. Thanks for what you said about the cost. I had a hard time coughing up the $$ but it was worth every penny. I wish I got them done years ago.

I love how much you love your hair girl. I've been natural for 3 years. I'm not locked, but maybe I will one day! Being a loose natural is a lot of work and the shrinkage is something else. 😜

I love them on you. I sometimes want them because of how good they look when curled. You can do twist outs and basically any style without detangling, except for wash and goes.

wow i havent really watched much of your vids besides the sisterlock ones because we got them installed around the same time ! :) im so glad you're enjoying your locs as well! i also am having issues with my edges...to combat that ive started using a middle part more often and i wrap my hair/edges with a silk scarf at night...some of mines have come out but they get put back in eventually

Well, I am a bit embarrassed because; yes, I am not a candidate for sisterlocks! I felt like I was talking with a girlfriend who was bringing me up-to-date ! I LOVE how pretty & natural & carefree you are with your hair. Thanks for sharing, CeCe!

LOL...my trainer recorded me doing pullups. When he showed me I said, i know it's about the pullup for you but do you see my hair". I'm a year in w/my SLs and since I never see my head from behind, the fullness captivated me LOL. I have to be careful w/my edges as well because I think tying a scarf too tightly is causing issues. And I had the same idea as you, gently wrap the edges first, then wear a bonnet. So I'll see how that goes. Other than that, I'm all good and absolutely LOVE them! And I agree on pricing. I don't share that with anyone and the meticulousness of interlocking warrants the pricing to me as well. AWESOME swimming tip, hon'. The company I work for now has a pool and I was thinking I can't use it w/my SLs. YES!!! I always pineapple at night for that very reason...the volume!! Your locs are lovely. Happy to have stumbled on your account :)

you can use the rosewater as a toner for your face. . .just a little tip!

I love your energy!! You are just beautiful😊

Love Love Love your spirit!!!

Love your video. I wear a silk scarf and a bonnet as well. Helps with the edges. Love your locs. I am so glad you did the math on the sisterlocks. I paid $800 for an install. 2 people for 13 hours. I feel my locticians definitely earned it. It’s such a long and tedious process.

You look like the best Starbucks.A Messy bun ia my absolute fave loc style. I been wearing it all week. I have edges issues too my locs are ten years old. I never regretted my locs

I just love your attitude/personality.. I'm LOVING my hair too (6months in 2weeks for me😁😁).. Lady's get those locs. You won't regret it😉. Cece, massage your edges/get a battery operated scalp massager for your edges..This will promote hair growth.. Loved the way you described the pricing for SL..New subbie..~

I just watched and I don't plan on getting sister locs but I'm wearing faux locs but I just love your spirit♥️

Love the body trick at the end!

I'm natural but not with Sisterlocs & I truly enjoyed your video.. Which is why I just subscribed to your channel with the future notifications bell turned on.. 💁🏽😉

I am contemplating sisterlocks. This video was helpful thanks

You are so pretty! Full of great personality! I watch the whole video and don’t have sisterlocks. Thinking about it.

New subbie, I'm natural and thinking about getting sisterlocks. I watched the entire video and loved it!

Love this video, I originally found you when I was researching sisterlocks, I’ve been a subscriber ever since and my sisterlocks are 2.5 years old

I love when u said black girl style ! Lol i just discovered your channel cause im thinking about getting sisterlocks..love your personality so ive subscribed!

I know what you mean about the satin bonnet. I turn mine inside out, seems to help, plus it’s satin side towards the hair. Just wish my hair was as thick as yours. Thanks for the update.

Hi CeCe, I watched your entire video and loved it. I do not have Sisterlocks but find them so beautiful. I recently saw your video on TedTalks and just watched you and Kellie get buried alive. I connect with your energy and subscribed right away.

Hi i love your clip. Great. I am getting my sisterlockes installed tomm. Wish i had done it sooner but had to b really sure first. Yours look great. Thank you for all the info. Xx

Bad habit as said in other comments the balls or buds on the tips are part of the locking process. Turn your bonnet inside out so that the elastic is not directly on your edges. Also check yourself to notice what side you sleep on. Love your vids I’m Sisterlocked for almost 2 1/2 years now. LOVE IT!

Try Alikay Naturals lemongrass conditioner it is all natural and has a light consistency. You can find it at Target.

I’m black and relaxed. I really enjoyed learning about sister locks.

Heyyyyy CeCe Love your Videos trying to grow my hair back so I can get Locs so I will just watch your locs grow and there doing Beautiful 💕💕💕💕

Hey girl Hey !! Yes I found you cause I'm thinking of Sister Locs!! Love your personality and the tips you shared.

Do you think the brushing is also causing stress to your edges? Also Do you battle with lint?

You should try cutting up nylon tights for your hair bands. It's easier on the hair strands and less tension on the scalp. Plus you can cut then to the size you need.

Yasss Queen 👑 messy bun is life

I almost didn’t recognize you. I remember when they were baby locks. And you look amazing

Please stop brushing your edges. My edges cried when watching that! Like I almost felt them fall off!

Gladys Knight! lol. Your locs are GORGEOUS! I like your brush effect. Do what works for YoU & the look YoU want! I have similar edges & thought of doing exactly that, but my loctician keeps re-tying them, saying eventually they will take & loc. (Starbucks pretty - LOL) "Thumbs up"

ok so like i really don't think that i would ever get sister locks and i was thinking about dread locks instead but boo you looked so good with these sister locks that i had to click the video :)

Lol... I don't have locs, I don't envision getting them (yours are beautiful, as well as you)... I just am an information junkie! Thanks for sharing your journey 😉
