Sisterlocks 101 - from Guest Writer Salkis

Guest Writer, Salkis, gives us a little education on the how to start Sisterlock's:

Sisterlocks(tm) is a system of locking hair that allows hard to locks hair-(wavy, curly or relaxed hair) to be locked in a uniformed micro-sized pattern. The trademark of this look is the clean part lines and uniform pattern that each loc is formed into.

Its a three step process:

• 1st Consultation. This is were you will get to find out more about the system, cost, time it will take to complete your whole head and “tester” locks will be done to get the correct size for your hair type.

• 2nd Installation. You are on your way to an entire head of lush beautiful Sisterlocks(tm), bring some snacks, your mp3 player and maybe a good book and a fluffy pillow. You will be sitting for a while and you don't want your stomach howling while your technician is working on your head.

• 3rd Follow Up. This is when your consultant checks your locs for slippage, she may have to tighten some of them. Its an overall check up to make sure the set up is going smoothly. For some this would be your first re-tightening session

If you are afraid of locing your hair because you think you can't look polished with locs, think again! You can from corporate to a basement party seamlessly! Sisterlocks(tm) usually takes 10-20 hours to complete depending on hair density, length and the size of locs desired. Most people average a weekend to complete a full head of Sisterlocks(tm), but once its complete they are truly happy with the results. Looking for a certified consultant in the Atlanta, GA area?

Sisterloc Blogs

Here are a few cool Sister Loc blogs to check out. I am very fascinated by sister loc's, and always want to learn more about the style. My biggest question is, how long does it take to re-twist (if that is the correct method) your new growth. With my hair it takes about an hour on a good day. But I could not imagine having twice the amount of loc's with Sister Loc's. If any one knows the answer, let me know. Thank you Kalia for mentioning these blogs on a hair discussion board.
