Styling
Can I still change hairstyles once I get Sisterlocks™?
Yes! Sisterlocks™ are a lot less limiting than extension because they consist of your natural hair. You can curl, braid, cut, and color Sisterlocks™. You can also wear ponytails, bangs, parts, and spray or mousse them.
How can I style my Sisterlocks™?
How often do I shampoo my Sisterlocks™?
Shampoo your Sisterlocks™ as often as you shampood your hair before getting locked. Initially, you should braid and band your locks, tucking in the ends. Use the Sisterlocks© Starter Shampoo until your hair is settled. Your hair has settled once the hair strands have become stable within the woven framework of your lock. This process may take as little as two weeks and as much as two years, perhaps more, depending on the texture of your hair. Always “comb” your hair by separating each lock at the root after shampooing.
Will I be able to color my hair with Sisterlocks™?
You should color your hair before your Sisterlocks™ are established. Haircolor impedes the natural locking process, and should not be used until after the hair is settled.
General Questions
What is Sisterlocks™?
Sisterlocks™ is a natural hair management system that allows those with tightly textured hair to take advantage of a wide range of hairstyles without having to alter the natural texture of the hair. Sisterlocks™ create a stable, woven framework in a lock of hair within which the natural interlocking process can take place.
Will I need to cut off the relaxed ends of my hair to install Sisterlocks™?
No, Sisterlocks™ are installed on the new growth of your hair, plus one inch of your relaxed ends. After your locks have been established, you will style your relaxed ends as you normally do. As your hair grows, the relaxed ends can be trimmed off.
How much hair do I need to start Sisterlocks™?
Sisterlocks™ can be installed with 1½ - 2 inches of new growth if you have relaxed ends. If you are all-natural, you need 2½ - 3 inches of hair.
