Due to the pandemic I decided that rather than risk violating “social distancing” I would do my own. That was three weeks ago. My procrastination had everything to do with my confusion regarding the “ grid” sectioning. I didn’t want to put in all that time and have it come out “tacky” Then ... Eureka! There you were and suddenly I, who struggled through algebra...geometry and completely overwhelmed by trigonometry saw the light and actually understood how and why the “grid” method works. Which can only mean that I didn’t sleep through all those classes. My teachers would be so proud. Thanks a bunch!

Sameeeee!! I started mine with twist in December 2019 took them out and had my roommate help my part straight lines. Got done interlock my whole head feb. But my lines are not as straight as I’d like cause I have a migrating scale 🙃 then boom here she comes with all the math and measurements 😂

Hey guys - are the grids purely cosmetic or is there a reason for them?

@christinapalmer96 Жыл бұрын

If you're hesitating about doing your locs following her tips, just do it. I've been browsing this info for years and this is the most concise info you'll get without going to get sisterlocks yourself. I did my own locs August 2021 and just took them out in September 2022 because I didn't follow all these steps and wanted a better set of locs. I'm re-establishing my locs following every detail this time!

Hi QueenEleem, wonderful tutorial. I have sister locks and my consultant asked me to blow out my hair before my instulation. Due to the density of my hair. Lol she was having a hard time getting the parts straight 😂. Stay safe 😊

I’m a naptural hair care artist and I’m going to do my own. My grid pattern is going to be beauuuutiful! The work impeccable. I’m not a loctitian nor a certified Sista loc expert. But like you said, at the end of the day, locs are locs! Soooo true! I’ll make a video of my hair when I do it. Which will be in around 2 or 3 months!

I understand that I shouldn't put any extra moisturizer on my hair before I start my locs but there's a problem. I can't detangle my hair or set it in a grin once my hair is dry with absolutely nothing on it because once my hair is dry and set in it's way, it becomes as stubborn as a mule and breaks off. Do you think it would be okay to apply a light leave-in while my hair is damp and stretch it that way?

@QueenEleem 4 жыл бұрын

I used some oil to flat iron, I’d just suggest washing the moisturizer out while in your mini braids and completely drying your hair before making your micros. I’m just trying to follow the sisterlock method as closely as possible bc I want those pretty end results
