How to do Sisterlocks

@queen.Eileen (IG)

 Creating sisterlocks is a detailed and intricate process that is best performed by a certified sisterlocks consultant. It involves sectioning the hair, interlocking, and forming small, uniform locks. Here's a general overview, but I highly recommend seeking professional assistance for the best results:

1. Consultation: Start by consulting with a certified sisterlocks consultant. They will assess your hair type, texture, and discuss your desired outcome.

2. Preparation: Your hair should be clean, free of heavy products, and in its natural state. You may need to avoid chemicals or heat styling before the process.


3. Sectioning: The consultant will section your hair into small, uniform parts using a specific grid pattern. These sections will become the foundation for your sisterlocks.


4. Interlocking: Using a specialized tool, the consultant will gently interlock the hair within each section. This involves threading the hair through itself to create a lock.click here to buy sisterlocks tool 



5. Formation: As the interlocking progresses, the consultant will guide the hair to naturally coil and form tight locks. This can take several hours to complete.




6. Initial Styling: Once the sisterlocks are formed, your consultant may trim any uneven ends and style the locks to your liking.


7. Education: A crucial part of the process is learning how to care for and maintain your sisterlocks. Your consultant will provide instructions on washing, retightening, and general maintenance.


8. Follow-Up Appointments: Sisterlocks need periodic retightening to keep them looking neat and well-maintained. You'll need to schedule follow-up appointments every 4-6 weeks initially, and less frequently as your locks mature.

Remember, creating sisterlocks is a specialized skill that requires training and experience. Attempting to create sisterlocks without proper knowledge can result in uneven or damaged locks. It's advisable to seek out a certified sisterlocks consultant who can guide you through the process and help you achieve the desired results.

What is the difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil and regular Castor oil?

Image
The main difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) and regular castor oil lies in their processing methods, color, composition, and potential benefits for hair and skin. Here’s a breakdown: 1. Processing Method  • Jamaican Black Castor Oil: Made by roasting castor beans, which are then crushed and boiled to extract the oil. The ash from the roasting process gives JBCO its dark color and slightly smoky scent.  • Regular Castor Oil: Typically cold-pressed or processed without roasting the beans, resulting in a pale yellow or clear oil with no ash content. 2. Color and Consistency  • JBCO: Dark brown to black in color, thicker in consistency due to the ash content.  • Regular Castor Oil: Light yellow or clear with a thinner consistency. 3. pH Levels  • JBCO: Has a slightly higher pH due to the ash, making it more alkaline. This can help open up the hair cuticle and promote moisture absorption in some cases.  • Regular Castor Oil: More neutral in pH, ...

DiscoveringNatural Hair Coaching

  Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair. I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair. When my oldest daughter was 4, I struggled with caring for her hair and did not have any resource to help me out, so I decided to relax her hair. After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discove...
