What’s the difference in Microlocs and Sisterlocks?



 Microlocs and Sisterlocs are both popular hair locking techniques, but they have some key differences:

Microlocs:

1. Smaller locks: Microlocs are smaller and more delicate, typically ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 inches in circumference.

2. Tighter coils: Microlocs have tighter coils, which can lead to a more defined and uniform texture.

3. Less hair required: Microlocs can be installed with less hair, making them suitable for finer or thinner hair textures.

4. More versatile: Microlocs can be styled in various ways, including braiding, twisting, and curling.


Sisterlocs:


1. Larger locks: Sisterlocs are larger and more textured, typically ranging from 1 to 3 inches in circumference.

2. Looser coils: Sisterlocs have looser coils, which can create a more relaxed and natural texture.

3. More hair required: Sisterlocs require more hair to achieve the desired texture and size.

4. Less versatile: Sisterlocs are often worn in their natural texture, with less styling versatility compared to Microlocs.


Ultimately, the choice between Microlocs and Sisterlocs depends on your personal preference, hair texture, and desired look. It's recommended to consult a professional loctician to determine the best option for you.
