What are sisterlocs?Sisterlocs are a versatile natural hairstyle that consists of tiny-sized dreadlocks. Instead of relying on a twisting or rolling technique, sisterlocs are created by using a special tool that builds the locks from the ends of hair to the root.

How often should I wash my locs?How often you wash your hair depends on your lifestyle and your personal grooming habits. Yes it's true that locs are more prone to odors, excess oils, lint, etc., but over washing locs/hair can cause dry scalp that leads to flaking and itching which then leads to breakage. It's not about how often you wash your hair, it's what you wash it with that's more important.

Should I wrap my locks up at night?Yes, but the more important question should be; what do you wrap your hair with? Many of us sleep on cotton sheets and pillow cases. Cotton linens, no matter what the count is, causes friction to our hair, thus causing breakage. This damage is an on going process. When clients ask me this question I always recommend they invest in silks scarves. Silk not only prevents friction and breakage, but also prevents all the oils that's keeping your locks healthy and moisturized, from being absorbed into your cotton pillow cases. After eight hours of sleep this leaves your hair feeling great and moist the next day.

Retightening and Early MaintenanceRetightening is every four to six weeks. I highly recommend not going longer than two months without retightening as that leaves you vulnerable to thinning of the locks which may then need to be reattached and healed for damage that could actually end up costing you way more.
