😩 Thank you!
I'm glad I found u. I start my sister loc journey on Monday! Soooooo I need all the best advice. That's why I subscribed. Be blessed!
@@miacraig4459 Good luck on starting your journey ☺️
OMG BEAUTIFUL!! You look like Whitney! I had to look closer :)
Wow, thank you!
Girl! That makeup is perfection.
Thank you so much Danielle ♥️
I am getting brotherlocks in 18 DAYS!!!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!!
So excited for you!!! 😆
Thank you so much! @@SharidaM
Your comment about hydrating the day before was clutch. I don't have sisterlocks; however, I regularly get summer braids as a loose natural and intentionally only eat fruit in the chair having had water the day before.
Thanks for the tips. This is very helpful! I will be getting my sister locks installed over Labor Day weekend. When I tell you I can’t wait, OMG I mean it!
Ohhhh I’m soooo excited for you! You are going to love them! Good luck on your
journey.
@@SharidaM thank you!!!
@@SharidaM Is your hair 3point rotation?
@@renadecuenta9742 I have a 4 point
Yes, you look so much like Whitney. Thanks for sharing. Are your sister locs locked all the way down? Who is your loctition, I may consider the travel because your Locs are simply beautiful !😊
Thank you! They are locked down with about a half inch loose at the bottom. My consultant is Ifraj Suhad in the Atl area.
@@SharidaM Thanks for info . Also, have you colored your hair since the sisterloc installation? I am afraid that once installed, I will not be able to color for a while…
Could you do a tutorial video on the updo with the head wrap that you are rocking in this video please? Thank you!!
I am having my installation tomorrow. I am SO excited :):) I hope it looks good
How exciting!! Wishing you a successful installation and journey beautiful!
Thank you for this. I have my installation at the end of this month.
I'm in love with your hair, my Auntie's hair is the same way She's certified. Between her and you I am now ready to get mine installed lol.
I hope you will because I LOVE my locs!
Can you do a video on how you do your headscarf wrap as you did in this video?
Great tips and cute lewk!!
Thank you!!
Love this hairstyle
Please do a tutorial on how you achieved it
Also your work bun style
The locksmith strikes again! Thanks for the golden tips l (pun intended)!
Glad you like them!
Hi. Your locs are gorgeous!
I am 12 years in with my locs.
I had a horrible install experience! I did everything in my power to avoid it.
I was very outspoken as to what I wanted. Especially when it came to the size I desired. All of the SL's I'd seen were tiny. I knew going in that I desired locs around the width of a pencil. I was constantly reassured that they would get thicker.
😒
She later told me that we would wait a while and then combine. I didn't even ask about the price. No way was I giving her more money!
I took to CZcams. I combined my entire head of tiny locs! I mean before they even matured! I was very upset with my Loctician. I believe she told me what she wanted to get my money. If she had been honest I would not have given her my business. She got my money but she loss a lot too. Reason being I would never recommend anyone to her and I stopped going to her for my re-tights.
I had a good ending by being proactive. The base of my locs look intentional and the twins created by combining are all gone now. 😂 They did not put too much weight on the base of my locs. That was of great concern. I was sooooo relieved 😌 that I eventually got the look I was aiming for without wasting all the money 💵 spent on the initial install. 950.00 I started with (mostly) 15 inches of permed hair.
I am still enjoying my locs 12 years in.
I self maintain and style my own locs so I save bunches!
Thank you for your videos.
Happy Loc Life!
Wow, thank you for sharing your story with me! I am so glad things worked out for you in the end and you got the look you always wanted. 💞
Your hair is beautiful! Thanks for the tips. Would you mind sharing the brand and color of the lipstick you’re wearing? Thanks
Thank you love! I am wearing Fenty Beauty lip paint in the shade Unveiled.
You and your locks...are beautiful!
Thank you so much Brenda😀
On day 2 of my installation. Your tips have helped me! I think my installation will take about 40 hours also.
Omg how did everything go?! So excited for you!! ☺️💞
Gorgeous!!
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
I love your hair!!
THANK YOU ☺️!!
I decided to move forward with sisterlocks. Currently, I’m looking for a loctitian in the Atlanta area.
I would recommend Nakia of Gridlocdroots.com
I sister-lock tomorrow! I’ll let you know how it goes.
Let me know how it is going!! very excited for you! 💕
Beautiful!!!❤❤
Thank you ☺️
GORGEOUS hair💞
Thank you ☺️!!
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 😊
You and your hair are gorgeous
Thank you so much Trader A!
Your hair is beautiful! What hair type do you consider yourself? I am trying to find people whose hair type is similar to mine.
Thank you!! I am a 4A
Your hair is beautiful what supplement did you take
Thank you Annet! I actually have a new video that goes into detail about my supplements! Check it out here... czcams.com/video/fZ_au4CxWRU/video.html
Hi. Thank you for your tips. I’ve subscribed. I’m installing in 4 months time. I want to dye before. If I want the dye to be distributed through my hair like yours what do I ask for? e.g. Highlights, Ombré? In your pre-install clip it doesn’t look dyed heavily at all but your locs look vibrant. ❤
I have Balyage Highlights. Find a specialist and go for it! Perfect amount of color and still looks beautiful as hair grows out. I haven’t done any touch ups to color since pre install.
@@SharidaM Awesome thank you! That’s what I like about it most. How lovely it looks whilst growing out. I don’t really like the solidness I’ve seen when done after locs mature. Thank you for the info and for your inspirational ways!
and whats this about grid work
my name Sharida its spelled the same way too.
This is a very helpful video. Do you have you locticians information ?
Thank you Luv. Her name is Ifraj Suad. She is in the Atlanta area. Her IG handle is @StyledbyIfraj
Thank-you I will definitely check her out.
Question ❓ how do you know if the loctician is a good one, I'm in Arizona and this heat is terrible for our type hair, I've wanted sister locks for years now I'm ready but I want to find someone who is really good for that type of investment...Any tips on finding the right person?
I would start by looking at their body of work and seek someone who has been doing it for a few years if possible. I would start getting knowledgeable about what makes Sisterlocks, Sisterlocks so that when you go to your consultation, you know what to ask. Many times if they are NOT good they will come with some off the wall answers that just don't add up. It may take some time but there are plenty of great ones out there, so I think you will find one.
Thank you for the great tips! Do you know how many inches were left loose at the ends?
I would say about an inch maybe.
@@SharidaM thank you for responding! 😊
@Sharida M can you share your loctician's info? I just came across your channel and I'm so hype. I believe you're in Atlanta, am I correct?
Yes I am in Atl. Her IG handle is StyledbyIfraj 💞
How do you keep the frizz down with your locs?
I bonnet every night. I do still deal with some frizz closer to the roots but I think that is to expected until they actually mature. I am only a year into my journey so I have a ways to go.
I love your sisterlocks, you look absolutely stunning. Your location says Atlanta, who is your loctician? I live in Georgia also. I searched on the official sisterlock website but word of mouth is great
Hi Sheila! Thank you 🙏🏾 Her name is Ifraj. You can find her on IG @styledbyifraj
@@SharidaM great! Thanks so much for responding!
Hi thanks for your content you are gorgeous!
I did not get it, do you straightened your hair before the installation or you recommand it or your consultant did it with a hair dryer ?
Before the install do you have just a shampoo or you conditionned it ?
Did you cut your hair before the installation likz a gradient or just the hair tips? I décided to remove mine cause it was very bad installed and wasbnot Sisterlocks at all
Thank you! I washed, conditioned hair and my stylist blew it out before install.
@Sharida M do all locticians blow the hair out before install?
What color did you add to your hair?
I just have different shades of brown Balyage highlights. Not sure of colors specifically as I had it done professionally.
Do you know anyone who does sisterlocks in turkey?
Unfortunately, I do not.
should i take a butt pillow
Anything to make you comfortable, like a pillow or small stool to elevate your feet. I would have died without foot elevation lol.
@@SharidaM thank you one more question who is your loctician
