I have Sister locs which are micro looking .This has been confusing for a lot of people but I would like to agree with you that the grid and interlocking, mostly are what gives sister locs their name and I absolutely love my grid❤. I can part my hair either way/any direction and it will always look neat 🥰
@Ifeyinwa Жыл бұрын
It’s so funny because my current locticians are sisterlocs registered and she doesn’t maintain my grid. When I have my hair retied in Lagos all my lines were restored and sharp lol. I don’t mind personally but I’m happy you got the look and the style that you wanted, that’s all that matters.

Ill be 3yrs on my microlocs journey this October and many have mistaken my microlocs for sistalocs. I was a loose natural for several years but knew I wanted to loc my hair at some point. Like you I knew I wanted small/tiny locs because I wanted it to resemble my loose natural hair. I chose microlocs because I want the flexibility as mine were started with two-strand twists and I need to be able to design my own maintenance schedule/routine. My loctician maintains my locs and she understands how my regimen is based on what my locs need at that moment.
@lp85988 ай бұрын
I'm in the same boat as you were! I'm currently a loose natural, and thinking of getting microlocs because I want it to mirror my loose natural hair!! I had medium size locs before and enjoyed them but cut them after 5 yrs before the pandemic. But I want a mix between the loose natural look with the maintenance regimen of locs. Does it actually mimic your loose natural hair?? I love the body and volume my loose natural hair has and I found with my set of locs before that it was very flat as it grew longer...maybe because of the size, length and weight of them? Appreciate you sharing your journey!
@samantham905610 ай бұрын
I have micro sisterlocks, but honestly looking back its really the same as microlocs, except the grid and tool. My loctician does both and I think they look the same. If you have to chose I would say get the microlocs and save the money b/c they really look the same both very pretty if you like locs and want versatility. Your hair is beautiful

Actually braidlocs takes the longest to loc and the pattern to disappear. I have two strand twist 13-months almost 14 months microloc and I get people asking me are those sisterlocs. So they will look exactly the same when they mature. Only thing I would have changed is gotten this done 10 plus years ago and got sisterlocs because I would like more locks and smaller ones. But my loctician did tell me I got the smallest two strand twists she's ever done on a client 🙃. So that made me feel good. All in all the best decision i ever made just wish I knew about these back when i went natural again in 2007/2008. Beautiful locs....cant wait to see how mine look at the 2.5 year mark. Because mine still not lock...😊

This video is helpful. I had sisterlocs for 3 years, unfortunately the accountability for bad work within the sisterloc community isn't there. Ive heard so many horror stories and unprofessionalism. There seems to be no checks and balances but the consultants are certified. I also find the sl community clickish and nasty attitudes. Majoring in minors based on number of locs you have, etc. Im relocking with microlocs this Fall. The SL reputation from leadership on down is on the decline and terrible. Dr. Cornwell was very unprofessional on a panel with the Creator of microlocs. Smh

I have sisterlocks (1 year), and when i have to do my retightening, it takes overall a day because i have to take a bus to go to my loctician (who is certified). So i have to pay for the bus + the retightening fee. It’s just that i started looking for someone near me, especially since my loctician won’t take clients on weekends anymore and i can’t go so far during the week because of my job. The person i found said she does microlocks/ and microtwists, and that the technique to retighten sisterlocks and microlocks is the same (interlocking). I wanted to have other opinions… Is it true? Do you think i can loose my grid? I’m afraid to do a bad move since my sisterlocks were expensive, and i love my hair and i don’t want to mess up.
