What are Sisterlocks?
Sisterlocks are tiny uniform locks that are the result of a precision parting grid, and
the use of a specialized tool that places the hair into its locking formation. The
Sisterlocks method does not require the use of waxes or jells. The small size and
parting grid form a lock that is easily styled.

How long does my hair need to be to start Sisterlocks?
In general, Sisterlocks can be started with 1 1/2 inches of natural unprocessed hair.
Where shorter hair can be caught in a locking pattern, 1 1/2 inches will ensure the
first stages of locking will be easier to manage during your home care.

Do I need to cut my relaxed hair?
No, you don't have to cut your hair. Sisterlocks can be started with your relaxed
length left untouched as long as you have 1 1/2 inches of natural hair at the root.
As your hair grows, and is set into a locked pattern, your relaxed hair will be
trimmed away.

How long will it take to start my Sisterlocks?
In an idea situation, your "Initial Locking Session" will take about 13 hours. Your
hair length, density, and head size determine the actual amount of time it will take
to start your Sisterlocks. A better time frame will be given at your consultation.

Can I add extensions to my Sisterlocks?
No, Sisterlocks uses your natural hair. Without extensions, your hair is free of the
extra weight that puts tension on the roots. Over time this sort of tension can lead to
permanent hair loss. Without extensions, your natural hair is free to grow to its
fullest potential, so don't let the idea of short hair for a short period of time rob you
of years of freely growing, healthy, manageable hair.

What should I expect from a Certified Sisterlock Consultant?
You should expect to receive your Initial Consultation, Locking Session, First Follow
Up visit, and Customer Starter Kit as a package. Expect to be educated during your
Initial Consultation, and test locks set in. Your consultant should give you an idea
of what to expect as your locks mature, then be available to celebrate every phase of
your development. Expect a caring and knowledgeable professional.

Are Sisterlocks permanent?
During the first 6 months of development, Sisterlocks can be removed. Removal will
likely take more time, and be more costly than your Initial Locking Session. Most
Consultants will not lock your hair if removal is a great concern. You should be sure
that the Sisterlocks method is right for you.

How do Sisterlocks differ from other locks?
Where Sisterlocks are true locks (a matting of African, kinky, tightly curled, nappy
hair), they differ from "dread locks, dreads, or traditional" in the technique used to
form them. The sisterlocks method uses a precise parting grid, and a tool to produce
small easily styled locks (or locks). Sisterlocks does not use any waxes, jells, creams
or hair extensions, so everything that can add weight, stress, or hamper your hair
growth is removed.

Are Sisterlocks expensive?
Some people will say that Sisterlocks are expensive, and claim to have found a less
expensive copy cat lock (Step Sistas) that look just as good. Be aware, many ladies
who have tried the less expensive copy cats, end up removing them and replacing
them with Sisterlocks by a Certified Consultant, or in a place of long term
dissatisfaction. You may save a couple of dollars in the beginning, but what will
you loose in the end? Will you have to cut off the copy cat locks and start over?
Will you have to seek out a Certified Sisterlocks Consultant for costly, time
consuming repairs which may never correct the copy cats? The list of Step Sista
drama can go on. Don't settle, pay the few extra dollars and get a qualified
Sisterlock Consultant to start your locks out on the right path. After all, Sisterlocks
set the standard for locks, and the rest are just trying to catch up.
