I love her hair and I too did want sisterlocs. After really paying attention to my hair I knew that my edges couldn’t take the retwisting, so I opted for small locs. Best decision and non have fallen out. My edges are stronger than they’ve ever been ❤
No need to start over. The gud thing about having smaller locs you can always combine your sister Locs to make microlocs. However you can’t go from bigger to smaller w/out starting over.
You can let the roots grow out a bit and start joining together/ palm roll at the root. I would do that sometimes to make a loc thicker when my hair was loc’d.
Same I wanted my hair small just like hers & just found out from someone telling me & my live that it's call sister locs so I searched it & now im here her hair is so long & pretty hair goals for sho✨️💖💯
What are your reasons for wanting micro over sister please? I want small locks but not too tiny? Keep going back and forth? Money is not the issue, but the future integrity of the locks. Hope you can share... 🙏🏾🥰🙏🏾
Well 1 is because I love to color, 2 is I can't keep my hands outta my head, and if there's any damage to occur for any reason or another could be post partum, medication, stress. Already having tiny SISTERLOCKS would be quicker to damage because they are already small. So it doesn't take much to get to the breaking or damage point...if you do decide, you want regret it. But if you do and decide to color, swim etc, just continue to protect your locks, stay on your retie regimen ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY. DONT BE AFRAID... LIVE AND LOVE YOUR LIFE. AND LOVE YOUR LOCK CHOICE..ANY SIZE😊@@christine1962ful
After 3 years of sisterlock retights , I switched to knotted locks. Constant retights every 6-8 weeks was causing thinning, but your locks are beautiful.. .
Do what the clients asked & paid for. As a professional, yes give your opinion and let the client make their decision. My loctician gave me med-large sisterlocks and i absolutely hated them. Took days and a lot of hair loss to comb out my sisterlocks.
Thank you. What beautiful hair! Interesting. I'm trying to better understand the difference. Some seem to explain them as pretty much the same thing. Why would microlocs be better than sisterlocks?
maybe that because edges are a different type of hair thats stretchy, babylike, fewer, that grows 3 inches then breaks and starts again. baby hair would be hard to lock, its wayward and ever changing think edges are meant to be fuzzy loose and left out of adult situations and commitments
Try spacing out your relies and see if that helps and maybe change your loctician as well that is if you're not DIY. Some people's hands are like hair removals trust me. All the best. Remember to keep hair and scalp moisturized.
Can you please tell me how do you keep them healthy and not thin out? I hear that locs that are too thin will thin out and fall off. How do you prevent this from happening? Thanks.
@plumercrs1386 sisterlocks are "technically" smaller. The people installing microlocks are making them sisterlock size for short...everyone has an opinion on it though. Imo the largest sisterlock size is still too small for my liking. 💯
It's a Ginger color. I use Advanced Coloration hair color line. It's 7CH mixed with 40 volume. I have two videos explaining and showing my color process. Check these out and let me know if you have any questions.
Wow that's a lot of locs.. how long are your retie sessions? Someone does it for you? I have around 330 and I maintain my hair myself. That in a relaxed week is like 4 days off and on. Like 4 COMFORTABLE easy going days.
@Mrs.Adrian, so you're saying I'm not so badly off huh.. 😅 one time I frightened myself because I did my Retie in under 24hrs so I know it's possible. I just don't know how I did it 😄
Fact of the matter, the work that is being passed by sisterlocks, as sisterlocks, aint even sisterlocks according to the sizing. The small size is ridiculous and majority of people don't put the small size in their clients hair.
