Are you having a hard time deciding between which loc technique to start your loc journey with
What’s the difference! Here’s the difference
The Difference Between Micro Locks and SisterlocksTM
Micro Locks are essentially formed by comb coils, two strand twist, braids, or interlocking. it can be done by any loctician. The most common method used is the two strand twist technique, however this method tends to unravel and slip out causes high retie maintenance fees. WE prefer you start with interlocking as you will not experience as much slippage or shrinkage. You normally come out with 250-350 locks, but can have more if you requests the micro size and your a good candidate for them which means your hair characteristics like texture, density and curl pattern are suited for them. These locks are normally maintained about every 4-8 weeks, depending on how small they are, and how many you have. Here the cost for a monthly to bi monthly retie could be anywhere between $150-$275. We base your rate on how many locks you have.
Sisterlocks TM is a locking system, that has a trademarked name, and can be done by specialist trained in the technique. It is done by interlocking from the ends of the roots up to the roots only, some unraveling and slippage can occur with this technique as well but it tends to hold tighter then a twist does
SisterlocksTM also has a standardized sizing which also lends to styling. Each head should have a variation of sizes to accommodate hair density, head size, and other factors. If done by the book an established head will have an average of 300-400 sisterlocks, unless you request the micro size then you could have anywhere between 400-600. The Maintenace for these locks is about every 4-6 weeks. Here you monthly to monthly-bi monthly retie could be anywhere from $150-$300. we base your rate on how many locks you have and how long your hair is
SisterlocksTM & Microlocks via interlocking typically cost more than traditional locks. The reason is because there smaller and it involves a precise parting and locking technique that is very time consuming and labor-intensive.
1. What Sisterlocks Are
- Definition: Sisterlocks are a specific type of micro-lock hairstyle characterized by small, uniform, and neatly braided or twisted locks that are created using a special interlocking technique. Unlike traditional locks, they are much smaller and more flexible, which allows them to form a delicate, natural look.
- History: Sisterlocks were invented by Dr. JoAnne Cornwell in 1993, designed to give Black women a way to embrace their natural hair texture while offering a low-maintenance, yet stylish, option.
2. How Sisterlocks are Installed
- Installation Process: They are installed by a certified Sisterlocks consultant using a unique interlocking technique. The installation can take several hours to a few days, depending on the hair's length, density, and the size of the locks being created.
- Duration: The process can take anywhere from 12 to 20 hours (or more) depending on the individual's hair, so it's a significant time investment.
3. Maintenance of Sisterlocks
- Retightening: One of the key components of Sisterlocks is regular maintenance. They need to be retightened every 6 to 8 weeks by a certified consultant to maintain the integrity of the locks and avoid them becoming loose or unraveling.
- Shampooing and Care: They are generally low-maintenance when it comes to day-to-day upkeep. You can wash them, but it’s important to follow specific guidelines for washing and conditioning to avoid buildup or loosening of the locks.
- Products: Special shampoos and products are often recommended to prevent residue buildup while keeping the locks intact and healthy.
4. Benefits of Sisterlocks
- Low Maintenance: Once installed, Sisterlocks require relatively little maintenance compared to other hair types and styles, such as traditional locs or even loose natural hair.
- Versatility: They offer various styling options, from wearing them down to updos or even combining them with accessories.
- Natural Hair Embrace: Sisterlocks are particularly popular among individuals looking to embrace their natural hair texture without the use of chemicals or heat.
5. Considerations Before Getting Sisterlocks
- Commitment: The initial installation is a long process, and upkeep requires regular salon visits for retightening. Some people also find the installation process uncomfortable or time-consuming.
- Hair Texture: While Sisterlocks work best with tightly textured hair, individuals with looser curl patterns may need to consider whether this hairstyle will work with their hair type.
- Cost: The initial installation can be expensive due to the time and expertise required. The cost of maintenance and retightening can also add up over time.
6. Sisterlocks vs. Other Locking Methods
- Comparison to Traditional Locks: Sisterlocks are smaller, lighter, and more uniform compared to traditional locs, which can be larger and more irregular. The interlocking method is a distinctive feature, unlike the twisting or palm-rolling methods used in other types of locks.
- Other Options: Some people might be considering Sisterlocks in comparison to other locking or natural hair styling methods, such as micro braids, crochet locs, or freeform locs.
7. Cultural Significance and Empowerment
- Cultural Connection: Sisterlocks are seen by many as a way to reclaim and honor natural hair textures, especially in the Black community. For some, it represents empowerment, confidence, and a rejection of societal beauty standards that favor straightened hair.
- Community: There’s a strong community around Sisterlocks, including support groups, online forums, and certified consultants who help people maintain their locks and provide emotional support during their hair journey.
8. Sisterlocks Longevity
- Hair Growth: Sisterlocks are often used as a long-term solution for those looking to grow their natural hair out. They can help to protect the hair from breakage while still allowing it to grow.
- Lifespan: If maintained properly, Sisterlocks can last for many years, making them a long-lasting and sustainable hair care option.
9. Sisterlocks Certification
- Certification for Consultants: Only certified Sisterlocks consultants can install and maintain Sisterlocks. This ensures that the technique is done correctly and safely, minimizing the risk of damage to the hair.
