I’m a licensed cosmetologist, specializing in natural hair care, and also have sisterlocks, you are so transparent and on point., that’s why we all love your channel! My hair was 12 inches long and I paid $2250. But I loved mine from day one., $2000. For installation and $250 for tip, don’t freak out, I’ve gotten great tips like that for the services I’ve rendered for high price services, but your hair is beautiful and so is mine, enjoy the process ❤
I had my micro Locs installed a year ago and I have experienced everything you spoke about in this video. I now love my hair and know I made the right decision. Thanks for sharing!
I just got microlocs and I am going through this stage of just not feeling my best right now. Today is a great day because they have fallen differently and I feel super cute. Just 1 week in and trusting the process.
You’re a beautiful woman inside and out!😍 I am 8 1/2 months Sisterlocked and I’m trusting the process. I had 2 1/2 inches when I started and I thought I did something wrong in the beginning but I’m loving it now.
Thank you so much Carla! I know the feeling! I'm in a much, much better place now with my sisterlocks, and it's by trusting the process! And being patient! ❤
I'm 18 months into my journey. I started with long hair. My hair was about 25 inches and I cut 10 inches to get my locks. $1600 well spent. I preach the Gospel of Sisterlocks to everyone! I loved my Sisterlock from day one but my hair is dense and long. Hair is never a thought anymore. It truly is hair freedom!
@@NJoy621 $2500😮! That is expensive. I paid $650 and she charge me $625. $25/hr for retightening. She said she is going up on her install pricing, but keep retightening the same. She does not want to overcharge or price gouge people. I love her because I would not have been able to afford. I needed this because my hair was thinning and I didn’t want to cut my hair.
yes! the not knowing what clothes to wear with your new SLs. i changed my style to slightly funky bohemian -- hats, wild patterns, etc. they helped me to feel better about myself while my hair grew. thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad you understood! I wear a lot of hats as well, especially when I'm dressing up and going out, which is nice because I love hats. But it was influenced by my SLs. I'm still adjusting and figuring out new ways to wear my hair and dress but it's an exciting adventure now! ☺️
I have traditional locs…but mannn you spoke nothing but TRUTH… I’m currently feeling trapped when it comes to styling…especially for simple things like brunch with the girls…but as you said it’s all about MINDSET. Thanks a million times Sis!!!! 😇
Hi. I agree! My Locs were a game changer! 12 years in and I love my Locs! My "chicken phase" was up and down. I did not find them appealing at all. I am so glad that when I did not like them I decided to give them time. That time resulted in me loving my decision. I have maintained my locs for 12 years! I like keeping my money 💵 in my pocket. I do not miss visits to the BS stores nor a Loctician. I love not being afraid of the ☔ rain anymore.🤭 I only use water, edge control rarely, grapeseed oil and rosewater.(sometimes) I still binge watch loc videos. I'm still excited about having locs! Thx for Sharing!
This video is helping me so much. I'm 3 days in on my micro loc journey & I don't like them and 2nd guessing my decision. Seem this is almost normal thoughts & I need to be patient. Thank you sis for the motivation. I can't wait to get to the loving my hair stage. Thank you for your authenticity.
I 100% agree with every point! I remember "sleeping cute"! So glad I don't have to do it anymore. I'm over 2 years sisterlocked and loving it! I have yet to do a sisterlock video, but I plan to soon! New subscriber!
Thank you! 😊 I'm so glad everything's relatable. And yes! You should do your sisterlock videos! The community, compared to others (in ex: traditional Locs, loose natural hair) is pretty small, so we could use more people producing and sharing videos about sisterlocks! So Queen, go for it! 💕😉
I can definitely appreciate this video. I am 9 months into my journey and have been in love since installation day, but, can appreciate your transparency. Your channel was one of the first ones that I started following and I have always loved your hair. Keep being beautiful inside and out!
You have made me so excited to get my sister locs. Saving up yes my length is 9 inches and I was quoted $1300 with reties at $150! You look great sis ❤
Out of all the videos I've watched and I watched ALOT, yours by far was the best!!!! I appreciate your honesty and transparency. You are awesome!! You and your locs are beautiful. Thank you!! 🙏
I love your vybz so I'm subscribing! Simply put! You speak very clearly and I don't mind that chat. The more information shared the better our community is!
You are beautiful! I appreciate you saying this! Im feeling just what you felt. I didn’t even showed my locks until last week and I got them in October! They looked so sparse and fuzzy. Everyone else’s locks looked so beautiful but mine look funny. And yes I still have hair envy! Thank you for your truth and helping me find mine! Blessings to you!
Thank you for sharing this info! I love your Locs and your makeup is on point. I get my Locs installed in a few week and I’m excited and nervous at the same time. My hair is all natural and super thick, I have a nice length but I’m still nervous. I know I’m going to love it.
I have always thought your hair looked soo thick and beautiful even from the beginning of your SL journey! You've worn them so well from the start. I'm not trying to minimize your feelings, I just want to share that I think you always look stunning and your hairline seriously looks healthy and is flourishing. We are definitely our own toughest critics! Please have some grace with yourself, sis!
Thank you so much Sis! ❤️ I really appreciate you saying that! 😌 I do believe my hair is beautiful but I won't lie I'm still adjusting, at times. I truly love my hair and think it's absolutely beautiful! And I have no plans of changing anything. This journey has been challenging, I've had to have some very transparent moments, but I've grown in this lovely journey, and I continue to grow! You, commenting this, is part of the things that aid in my growth! So truly thank you! 😊 🙏🏿💕
Stumbled on your channel CimplyCeCe and this past weekend, I already told myself that locs is what I want. This video helps confirm that as well. The same fears (and others you pointed out) are the same as I have. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I appreciate your honesty. 💗
🙏🏿Queen, you are so welcome! My prayer was, that this could help my Queens out. You are confirmation that it did. Thank you so much! ❤️ When do you plan on starting your journey? Sorry it took me so long to resound, my apologies 😅 I've been distracted.
I’m currently going through every feeling you described. At 3 months in, I’m not feeling it and my struggle is real. Most days I don’t like my hair and wear a ponytail due to lack of styling ability. My edges are fine and I lost a loc on my edges today as a result I believe. That was devastating for me and further making me question my decision to sisterlock. Please keep me in your prayers! 😂
Yes, Queen I will! I truly pray it gets better, you're still at the beginning, just like me, stay patient Queen! 🙏🏿 I believe your feelings will change!💕
Lifting you up! Been watching videos on sisterlocs for about 2 years now! Still at a crossroad as my husband doesn’t really care for locks. I have been thinking about dreads since going natural. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes I can agree, I was so torn about my sister Loc journey. I felt like they were ugly , I hate a retie . I have finer hair and a retie makes me look scalpy. It’s been 6 years now for me and now my hair is to my bra . They look so different yet I wish I had traditional palm rolled Locs. Sisterlocs are tightly woven bumpy knots and a palm rolled Loc would have given me the illusion of fuller hair . I get a lot of compliments but It’s not what I want. Good luck you guys on your journey
Thanks for sharing your truth 🙏🏿, it saddens me but I understand. I still go back and forth with my Locs and eventhough overall I love my sisterlocks, there're things I dislike or wish where different.
Thank you! 😊 I'm excited you noticed, my fitness journey is something I'm truly enjoying as well! I've learned a lot and I continue to. You commenting about it, is so inspiring and encouraging, THANK YOU! 🙏🏿💕
Hey beautiful, I am starting my journey with 3 inches due to me cutting 13 inches of perm out 😢. I just want a new start so I totally get what you mean starting short is uncomfortable . My installation is Jan 12-13/2024 so excited .. your journey is an inspiration to me girl ! Just beautiful
Thank you and congratulations 🎊 I know you've started your locs by the time I'm responding to this comment 😀 I pray you are enjoying the start of this new journey! 🙏🏿💕
Sis...just found your channel. Your inner and outer beauty, LOCS, and setting all stunning! In May I will be two years loc'd Not one regret!!!! I researched 2 years before making my move. You spoke truth when you said that your hair is thriving in at the state that it was meant to be! I also think that is awesome that you're able to have your business at home and from what I saw well done!
Thank you so much Queen! ❤️ I should have researched, but I'm learning as I journey through. No regrets either! This is one of the best decisions I've made in my life! 😁
Sis! You are so very welcome! We are doing this thing together. Love your honesty. Im just grateful that we are learning to love ourselves. This month is my one year lockaversary! Yay! I get my 12th retie tomorrow.
I just turned 17 months and they are just now looking like something. The struggle is still real but I’m being patient. Lol at least trying to be. Definitely cried, definitely some “why did I do this” but I’m here! Lol!!
I just started my journey and I love you and your vibe! You’re like a ball of light! I love your goofiness! Keep doing you…know that you are blessed and your journey is inspiring! ❤
Hello Cece... Just found your channel, and decided to join the your community. I recently had sister lock established two weeks ago on my very fine low density and very short (4") grey hair..Despite the scalppy look I absolutely love them. Thanks for sharing your journey sis.
I respect the honesty ...I can totally relate to every aspect of your video. The hair and clothes issue is my biggest struggle. 😩🤦🏾♀️ however every day I see subtle changes that make me say it's worth it😁 Thank you for your content and sharing your journey 💛
I lived in Namibia, and established my sister lock last year. I am very happy and free from many things . No longer worried because the process is worthy waiting. Most sisters in Namibia asked me what have I done for my hair to grow so fast.
Wow I appreciate this video I’m experiencing all this I just said yesterday I’m not sure if this was the right decision..but I’m going to stay the course thanks for being so transparent ❤️
Thank you so much for posting this video! I'm going to get sisterlocs or some type of locs and I'm doing A LOT of research. Your video gave great points not heard before. I appreciate it. There is some concerns. I have fine hair too. Grey hair does that after losing it's Melanin so I'm not looking forward to the scalpy phase at the beginning (or however long it takes to get over it). However, I'm over the work and time styling takes and am excited about this new freedom. It's gonna look great with my grey hair and will keep me looking "fresh". I'll continue my research while looking for someone to do the install. Any tips you have on that would be appreciated. Thanks again for sharing your journey and your guidance!
You are so welcome Queen! I don't have advice on finding someone to install your sisterlocks because I literally stumbled upon my consultant (she lived across the street from me) Honestly, I did no research before getting mine installef and I realize that was a mistake. I'm ok now, but I had a lot of unknowns and surprises, for lack of a better word, that made me wonder if I'd made a mistake. If I just did what you are doing and watched some videos, I would have been better prepared.
i identified so much with this video. Esp the part that you tried everything and the hair is just stuck...that even with natural hair all I did would put my hair in a bun (or press once a year and that would even last only for 3 days),. Nothing was making sense. I was sick of all my hair products taking up half the bottom cabinet and a storage container. im 7 weeks post my establishment and loving it and the FREEDOM.
I loved my microlocs from day 1. I've never felt more beautiful. I got loc'd in March 2023. Around month 6 I felt like my hair was starting to loc. I felt like it happened overnight. When I went for my retie my loctitian said you're starting to loc. I thought I was going crazy.
I know how you feel 😢my edges are so thin around my hairline so I'm very self conscious pulling my hair back. So I try to hide it all the time. I have to have my hair up for work so it's sonhard trying to figure out styles that don't show those thin edges. It's definitely from hairstyles that i should have stayed away from but got anyways. I'm just praying that they grow back thicker and longer so I can get more added in front. Just wearing a ponytail or puff is my goal!
You are so true about how you were feeling because I have sisters loc as well and I thought that I was the only one felt that way thank you so much my hair is very thin and I don’t have any hair lines I’m still trying to hide it and my hair is so thin in the top so is it ok to add extensions to my locs
I'm not sure, I would talk to Your sisterlock consultant, as I'm not a professional in sisterlocks or microlocs, just to make sure it won't cause any damage but if they say it's okay I think it's fine to add extensions I've seen people do it on videos.
First I want to say I'm sorry for this late response, second thank you so much! And if you don't mind I will absolutely reach out to her and see if she's okay with me sharing her information on this platform.
Hello thank u I will be get]tying install God willing in a few weeks. I’m so excited bc I been wanting them for a while now and I guess bc of my length I’m paying 1100 and I thought that was a lot. This is my first time watching love ur vibe ❤️❤️
Congrats! Initially I was quoted $1500 but I ended up cutting my hair, due to shedding after I had my youngest daughter. So I paid $750. It's expensive but it pays for itself in the long run.
I'm not exactly sure but I've heard that you can get on the Sisterlock website and they will show you Sisterlock consultants in your area or near you. I found mine because we were neighbors.
Do you still get your reties every 6 weeks? How is that working for you? I go every 3 months. Every 6 weeks I find my scalp recovering . 3 months have been a charm for me.
🙏🏿❤️😊Thank you so much, I haven't been on my uploads like I should, but your girl is back and I truly appreciate you being here and joining me in my journey!
