Q: What are Sisterlocks®?

A: Sisterlocks® is a natural hair management system using small locs created with a tightly woven framework to allow women with tightly textured hair to maintain small manicured set of locs.  The small diameter of the loc makes them manageable and very easy to style.

Q: How long does it take for Sisterlocks® to be installed/established?

A: The locing process should take two-thirds as long as getting individual braids that are comparable in size. This process also has plenty of variability with size, the density of the hair, and the pace of the person doing the installation.  However, the locs never need to be removed and are simply retightened as the hair grows from the scalp. There is no hair added to these locs so they are not heavy or need to be undone in any way.

Q:  Will Sisterlocks® make my hair thin?

A:   Sisterlocks® do not cause the hair to thin.  Actually, the woven framework of the technique should be gentle and cause no stress to the hair and scalp. The technique also requires no chemical and should not be excessively tightened.

Q:  Can I get  Sisterlocks® if I have relaxed hair?

A:  Yes you sure can get  Sisterlocks® if you have relaxer.  The transition will take a minimum of 1 ½ inches of natural hair growth and a trained Sisterlocks® professional can help you through your transition.  During this time you will have plenty of styling options to choose from and guidance from a well versed hair care professional is key in this transition.

Q: Can Sisterlocks® be removed and or taken down?

A:  Yes you can remove and or take down Sisterlocks®.  This process is a very long and rigorous process and is not  recommended.  This is not recommended due to the state that the hair will be left in after removal of the locs.  

Q:  Can I do the  Sisterlocks®myself?

A:  This is not recommended because the Sisterlocks® technique has been taught to the hair care professional and covers a large range of textures and density of hair.  This ensures that each person will get the locs that are suited for their hair type. Having a hair care professional helps to ensure that locs will not be thinned with unorthodox locing methods.  Hair care professionals are also educated on cut, styles, and grooming tips that will bring lasting beauty to your locs.
