      @@samantham9056 you can ask her to loc more of the ends. My loctician told me that she thinks it's unfair that you pay for "x" amount of inches but only parts of what you pay for gets locked. She had the same issue when hers were done so she makes it a point not to do that to her clients

    I really love those who wear sisterlocks in general but Dr. Joanne Cornwell is not the inventor of the method period. She took it from the Masai Mauri men tribe, where she lived and learned the method. The fact that she trademarked it is interesting in itself. The website and the Brand is completely outdated. Locs have evolved to similar methods (micro/interloc/twistlocs) empowering women and men to DIY!!! Making the method accessible to Black people should be the primary focus. Growing up we did each others hair and it did not cost an arm and leg but dinner or helping in other ways. Yes, its a long process but that is how I was raised as well and it built character and community. The Sisterlock Brand also does not take any accountability when something goes wrong leaving clients/consultants/trainees stranded. The concept to me is ambiguous and convoluted. Again, love the interlock method but not the Brand or what it stands for.

It was a sisterlock mug, pen, canvas bag and a notebook and they all say sisterlock on it very nice. My consultant is on the website and she is very good. I had traditional locks before, had cut them off wanted to do just natural hair did that for 2 years and meet a friend that told me about sisterlocks and so far I'm loving it.

      Soliél hello there! Thanks for responding.🤗 I’m gonna subscribe to your channel and check out the videos first. I didn’t know you had so many posted! I think my biggest concern at this point is the tightening and retightening. I suffer from severe migraines and I have allodynia, which causes certain spots in my scalp to be SUPER SENSITIVE. The least bit of pulling and tugging causes immense amounts of pain.🥴 Needless to say, I’m worried about constant pain but love the concept of the sister locks and being able to wear my natural hair. ~ Sorry about the alopecia. A close friend of mine just cut all her hair off too for the same reason.

    •  Před 4 lety

      @@toyeranichel I cant speak for everyone but there will be levels of pain. I had it during my install and reties
      Some of the pain during reties comes from the necessary rotations to retiighten the loc. Personally I wouldnt out myself through it with your history. That's a lot of money to sacrifice. Some ppl take meds before they get a retie and that could be an option for you. Maybe try microloc extensions first? I also have a video called what you should know. Before getting sisterlocks that may be good to check out.

    Your hair is beautiful ..I do not use conditioner on my locs.I drink alot of water and keep an ok diet. I wash my hair 1 time in between my retights and that's the night before my appt..I also use a quarter size of DAWN dish detergent to wash my hair and it it heavily diluted because of the build over time..I spray my hair with water in a 24 ounce size spray bottle. And I only use Distilled water on my hair Because my hair Drink's any water that's sprayed I must use a couple drops of essential oil..That can be from Lavender, Lemongrass Tea Tree, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, or Sweet Orange, or Rosemary which are never used together..they will be used one at a time in a 2 month stint.. This I find works for me and most importtant I KEEP MY HANDS OUT OF MY HEAD.

      I am no pro but I would say it would take an awful lot and a long time for your hair to lock. In some groups I have seen women with non black hair have them though.

      Soliél I find the sisterlock more appealing honestly, yours is very gorgeous by the way. Im tryna achieve that same look as well. The fullness and volume

    I did months of research before my journey began. I am documenting my journey on CZcams. I recently recorded my eleventh month update. My wonderful consultant is featured in the video. #newsubbie
