Fierce Short Hair Styles for Sistas

Sistah, Try Sisterlocks

Still a fairly new concept for styling your hair, Sisterlocks are a great replacement for dreadlocks if you aren’t looking to have to wait an extended amount of time for length, as you would for regular dreads. Created by certified technicians that you should probably do your research on, Sisterlocks are a three step process. It consists of a consultation, the actual first locking session, and then re-tightening. Lucky for everyone, Sisterlocks can be donned by those with natural and relaxed hair, according to the official Sisterlocks website. Those with relaxers will just need 1 1/2 inches of new growth, but the relaxer should be trimmed off as the Sisterlocks grow. Patience is necessary whether you opt for dreads or Sisterlocks, as well as good care, but with a skinnier appearance that is reminiscent of simple curled micro braids, Sisterlocks might be just the style you’ve been looking for.

*Take less time to go through the process; a good length of locs can take over a year to develop, Sisterlocks created by technicians at the salon don’t need those different stages of locking

*However, the installation of Sisterlocks does take a great amount of hours the first time around and during re-tightening

*Most Sisterlock sessions are three stages: Initial consultation, locking session and a re-tightening session

*Hair, just as in dreads, can grow to amazing length

*Will have to find a certified Sisterlock stylist
