In this video, I share an honest and balanced critique of Sisterlocks, while giving insight on my own journey. A part 3 to my "loctician speaks" series, my stylist Melissa and I break down some of the cons of Sisterlocks you should know before deciding whether or not they'd be right for you.
And if you're already on your loc journey, do you think there's anything you'd do differently if you were to do it all again? I reveal what that one thing is for me. I hope you've been enjoying this series and if you have, leave me comment & share it with someone who may find it useful.

I got sisterlocks 20 years ago and I looked at it like an investment. I stuck with my technician for about a year or so until my locks were mature getting my reties every 6 weeks, then I went to a retightening class and have been doing my own reties for years which gives me the luxury of not having to retie my whole head in one sitting however I have made some mistakes and feel the need to have a sisterlock technician to give me tips and keep me educated on my hair as well as giving me a break from doing my own hair once in a while. Love my sisterlocks 🥰

Wow 20 years, how cool! And shout out to you for being able to have the flexibility to do your own hair. I wish I had the patience to learn it as well. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, and thanks for watching!

Love this series. Just one thing I would like your comment or opinion on.... you mentioned the importance of finding a qualified loctition and that sisterlocks have a specific grid. If that if your parting system gets messed up you no longer have sisterlocks. Respectfully, I disagree. Your parting system could be off for many reasons. One being because maybe you have some locs combined for structural reasons. Maybe around your hairline some locs were weak and needed to be combined. You still have sisterlocks. I just don't feel it's a cut and dry as you said. Thoughts?

Thanks so much for watching! You have a really good point and I agree that a combined loc here or there won't drastically change your grid pattern (which by definition needs to be present for your locs to be truly Sisterlocks). However, if someone combines 3 or 4 locs all over the head and disrupts the integrity of that grid, then one could argue that those are true "sisterlocks" anymore. It's not cut and dry, like you said, but there definitely has to be a maintenance of that grid pattern, and uniformity for the locs to still qualify, in my opinion. I hope this answers your question! And I appreciate your comment, and your insight.

I feel like I am thinning in the crown but not losing locs. How do I avoid this?

@tiffofili Месяц назад

That's a good question. Could the thinning be caused by traction or pulling your locs too tight? I've heard constant tight hairstyles can cause thinning at the crown. Also, I experienced this as a part of postpartum hair loss.
