Thank you so much! I have had my sisterlocks since January 2021 and this is my first time washing it at home. I didn’t want to mess up my locks so I always went back to my consultant.

Great video, in depth and thorough. I appreciate you giving us a 360 while shampooing. Your Sisterlocs are flourishing! My Sisterlocs are 2 months old next week, I started with 3 inches of hair, so I’m much shorter than you 😊 my hair drys in about an hour to an hour and a half.

This is super helpful! I'm not able to go to my consultant after the two-four week period and was never given a starter kit so I'm basically on my own for a while. I was afraid to wet my hair since they said to avoid getting it wet but it needs a wash, I'm glad I found your video!

@yoturner5712 Жыл бұрын

I did not get a starter kit either and I want one, I paid alot for these locks. I believe the sisterlock site is out of stock right now. My consultant said to use Suave daily clarifying shampoo ($2.00 from Dollar General store) she also said I can shampoo when I want, even the day of my installation.

@ChichiOrion Жыл бұрын

I did not get a starter kit either and I am eight weeks and from the start of the install. I am very disappointed in my consultant and I desperately need to wash my hair. I have never in life waited eight weeks to wash my hair.

Do you find that you ever experience any flakes after shampooing? Like leftover dried shampoo flakes? After I wash my hair, it’s still a little flaky and I can’t tell if it’s the shampoo flakes or the shampoo making my scalp dry 🤷🏾‍♀️

@se-gh5pg 3 жыл бұрын

I love your video! I’m still on the fence if I want to do sister locs or micro locs. However I have a quick question for you. I noticed you only placed the shampoo on your scalp but not the actual locs themselves. In another one of your videos you mention how locs hold smells. So if you arent putting anything on the locs how are you cleaning them to eliminate the smells? Or do they get clean as you are rinsing out the shampoo?

@TheRealKylaB 3 жыл бұрын

My retightenings come with a wash. So when I go every 5 weeks, my consultant washes my hair for me. I only wash it myself if it really needs to be washed. And I squeeze the shampoo to lather them right before I rinse.

Lol. Not a “snow forest” though. I wash my hair whenever it’s necessary - if it smells, if my scalp is dirty, or if my hair looks flat and tired so I can get it to look full and fluffy again. Lol.

I don’t do anything really. I drink lots of water. Especially since I’m not using hair products anymore & I try not to over wash my hair. Or scratch it. I tend to have a drier scalp and skin during the winter when the heat is on. So I drink water a lot, and keep a humidifier in my room during those months.

So different for us gals with thick hair. Takes me about 25-30 mins just to get a lather going, about 10 mins to rinse then, a minimum of 2 hours to separate at the roots. And that's if I work quickly.

I get that. You want to cut them off? or trim them to make your hair more even? I'll probably cut my heat damaged locs when my hair gets a little longer. They have no curl on the end and they aren't locking. lol. They dangle longer than my other locs in the front too. So i'll have to even them out.

Question, do you go through and separate your locks to ensure there is no marrying at the roots? I do this as soon as I take my braids out (which is right away after washing...it’s usually just damp patting dry) and I usually find 1 or 2 roots that have married or joined. Curious if that part of your process. Thanks. I’m 3 months locked 😁

@TheRealKylaB 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah. I check for that around re-ti time. My locs don't marry at the roots too much anymore. They definitely did earlier in my journey. But as time has progressed, it happens less often.
