What are SISTERLOCKS?

I got so caught up and excited about getting sisterlocks that I COMPLETELY FORGOT to tell you what exactly sisterlocks are! Please forgive me.

Q: What are Sisterlocks?
A: Sisterlocks® are tiny uniform locks that are the result of a precision parting grid and the use of a specialized tool that places the hair into its locking formation.  The Sisterlocks® method does not require the use of waxes, oils or gels. The small size and parting grid form locks that are easily styled. So everything that can add weight, stress, or hamper your hair growth is removed. 

SSN:Usually the hair is parted in four sections. Then each square section consists of tiny square rows along the scalp. The parts are perfectly straight so that the hair can be easily styled into any style once complete.
For those with Sisterlocks™ the common complaint in the beginning is the scalp showing. This is only temporary. Regardless of whether your hair is thin or thick, the parts will show on newly completed Sisterlocks™. As the hair grows and is washed over time, the visible scalp sections will be less visible so don’t worry. It’s just part of the wonderful journey. Source

Q: Does this mean that once I get Sisterlocks, I can still change hairstyles?
A: Yes! Sisterlocks is a lot less limiting than extensions because it is your natural hair. You can curl it, braid it, wear a ponytail, cut it, spray or mousse it, wear bangs and parts - You name it!

Q: How long does it take to do Sisterlocks?
A: The initial locking process takes about two thirds as long as getting extensions of comparable size. For medium length hair this means about 8-12 hours (maybe longer!). The beauty of Sisterlocks is that tightening them as your hair grows out is extremely simple, since there are no extensions to remove and re-set.
SN: I would ultimately like to get between micro-med. or small-med locks. But I will have the consultant look at my hair and see what she think.

Q: Will Sisterlocks cause my hair to break or thin?
A: Just the opposite! Sisterlocks is a gentle technique that requires no chemicals, no excessive tightening, and causes no damaging abrasion to the hair or scalp. You will find  that with regular care, your locks will grow and grow, and your styling options will increase.
