The timeline above represents three months from installation time at the bottom of this article to the 3.5 months at the top of this article. Hair grows a half inch a month on average. These three pictures seem to accurately represent realistic growth. Besides taking biotin periodically and using the Bee Mine Products' Growth Serum once every few weeks, I am pleased with my growth. I do not look for accelerated growth even though I may be getting accelerated growth. Believe it or not, I want normal growth. If people are getting extreme accelerated growth due to organic mixtures, etc, that makes me nervous. There is always a cause and effect as well as advantages and disadvantages. Each to their own routine . . .
Are you happy with your sister locks?
ReplyDeleteSierra: Yes! Sisterlocks has been the best decision for me. As they grow longer and thicker, I love them more and more. I wished that they were introduced to me in a professional manner years ago. I am not a fan of traditional locks, but I do not consider Sisterlocks as traditional locks. I feel like they are the Cadillac or Bentley of locking options. I am happy and looking forward to my third year SisterLocks anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI also want to add that my hair and scalp seems to recover when all chemicals are eliminated. Everybody's scalp may not recover at the same rate. Some people may have permanent damage where recovery may never come soon enough. I do encourage people to consider Sisterlocks before their hair troubles get too severe.
ReplyDeleteYour hair is beautiful. I'm excited to be getting them. I did the Big Chop last year in June. I last balded my head in Dec of 2012 and have not cut it since. Maybe in another month, I'll be ready for the transition...I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteThank you theblackbond! I am pleased with being chemical free. When looking for a Sisterlocks professional, ask them when did they complete their last Sisterlocks refresher course. If not within two years or less, then they may not be going by the book. Now, that I am a registered trainee, I realized that I was not given the formal paperwork to guide me through the process. It has been rough finding a good fit for Sisterlocks. I am on my third consultant in 7 months. I am happy that I kept moving on. Some consultants are in it purely for the money. They do not care about your hair nor your satisfaction. Yet, there are some awesome consultants out there as well. Definitely get them, but do not be afraid if you have switch consultants later. Hopefully, you will have a smooth experience with Sisterlocks!
DeleteYour hair is very beautiful. I just got my sisterlocks installed June 3rd. I love it so, so much. My only little issue is that my edge is partially bald. Any advise is welcomed. Wish there as a way I could over my edge while my hair is growing.
ReplyDeleteWish there was a way I could cover my edge while growing my locks.
ReplyDeleteDepending on your length, you could style with a swoop or bang. Thanks for the compliments.
DeleteI am so happy to see your baby lock turn beautiful, it gives me so much hope , thanks a lot for sharing . I am currently growing my hair to get d Sisterlock done , I currently have almost an inch only my consultant said to give it time till June /July , how long was your hair when you lock it pls ? I have permed end , my consultant ask me not to chop d permed ends she said as time goes on we will chop it gradually , plsss some one advise , thanks a lot . I honestly can’t wait to be a part of this beauty.
ReplyDeleteHello Blessing: My longest length was about 7 inches of relaxed hair. I had a bob so most of my longer lengths were in the front. I probably had about 2 inches of new growth at my roots. I definitely kept my relaxed hair. It still locked, but the relaxed ends were skinnier in diameter than the virgin hair. My hair texture is unique and probably should not be compared to the average head of hair. I know that many have used my Loc journey as a comparison, but most people do not have my hair texture. This is not to discourage your journey but to open your mind to the fact that your final mature locs probably will not look like mine.
DeleteThis article gets a lot of viewers. Please note: I rod set my Sisterlocks in these pictures. My relaxed ends are thinner than my roots so the length is curled up and not as defined but I had as much as seven inches of hair to start with in the mohawk area. Mostly relaxed hair versus new growth.
ReplyDeleteHi Benita , thank you so much , I am following u and I want u to no , ok I lock my hair , I leave in Canada we don’t have a lot of consultant here , it took 6 hour to lock my hair I paid 650$ , my consultant said I should not wash it I trust her a lot but wen I read article people said dey wash their hair every 5 days , people said the spend 13 hours locking their hair I begin to wonder why my hair took only 6.5 hour , my natural hair was only 1.5 inch n my permed hair was 14 inch n my permed hair s really damaged . I lock my hair of d 27th of April 2020 , I am so happy to b part of dis , m not expecting my hair to be like d perfect ones like yours but I just have so much question y only 6.5 hour n y can’t I wash my hair like others n I am so worried wat if I only have 200 lock or less , I have very small skull but I have a nice thick but soft hair my consultant said she don’t no if m a 4 c bcas of my permed emend s , these are things I will love to no

I emailed u directly so I can chart wit u but I did not hear from u , I like d job she did but I don’t no if she s taking advantage on my trust , she s very nice but ......
ReplyDeleteBlessing: hello. Sorry for the delay. Trust your gut. Where there is smoke, there is probably fire. Any licensed Sisterlocks technician not following the Sisterlocks guidelines are out of order even if they are handpicked by the founder herself. Doesn't sound like you had enough new growth to be charged $650. Did she lock your relaxed ends too? 6.5 hours -probably not. 6.5 hours times $50/hr is $325. You definitely should be alarmed. Report it to Sisterlocks headquarters make sure you have receipts. I never spend that type of money without receipts.
