Disadvantage of Clip Tool: If the dreadlock is dry and brittle, the spring action of the clip can break the lock completely off. One of the Sisterlocks Certified consultants clipped the tool to my lock without any regards of the spring action of the hook, and I swear that my lock broke completely off where the clip tool was attached. The consultant apologized to me about the lock snapping off and then moved on to the next one. So no, I am not fond of this tool. People should be cautious to gently attach the hook to the lock.
2) A Safety pin has been suggested by Stylist Jovan on youtube. You actually just pin the safety pin on the end of the dreadlock and feed the smooth end through the lock as if it was the Sisterlocks "clip" tool.
Disadvantage of the Safety pin: Piercing through the lock over the course of a year may weaken the lock, and the closure end of the safety pin may accidently catch some hair if one is not careful when feeding it through the roots of the locks.
Disadvantage of the hair pin: If your lock partings are smaller than the width of hairpin, then this method may not work because the hair pin would be too wide.
hi, do you know where i can purchase the clip tool?
ReplyDeleteSisterlocks headquarters, but I believe that only consultants can purchase Sisterlocks tools.
DeleteYou can take a hairclip those black ones and break off the middle clip and there you go it's what I used
ReplyDeletePipe cleaner made in a loop works too feed the hair in the loop and presto
ReplyDeleteMy sister locks are small. My loctician uses the clip and she does fine with it. Never had a problem for years. I would personally like to aquire the tools in the set, especially the bigger one. Why do they make it so exclusive. You can find it nowhere. I mean, like charge for it if you have to but don't make it exorbitant. I would like to aquire them, so if there is a consultant that wishes to get it for me, I would be most appreciative. Some of my locks are so small, the crotchet needle if too big for it. I need something small if I am going to have to lock it myself. My hairdresser takes like anywhere between 3 to four hours to do my hair. Sometimes I am way overdue. Would appreciate the assistance, please feel free to email me. As I go, I just want to invite you to make JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth your life and all. Make Him the center of your life so that HE can be the driving force of all that you think say and do. JESUS is coming again. Are you ready to meet your GOD?
ReplyDeleteI am not authorized to speak on behalf of Sisterlocks. I will encourage you to read my article on hand interlocking. I believe that I also speak on it on my YouTube channel.
