My Sisterlocks Journey | Everything You Want To Know

[@ohnoitsaaliyah43]

I respect your integrity and decision not to become a "sister lock guru." I see sister locks becoming a sort of second wave of natural hair. As many of us have been natural for 5+ years now, we've found that it is so time consuming and type 4 hair is prone to breakage with constant manipulation.

[@talesia]

The day I spend 2K on my hair is the day I'm going to tell my bestie to take my checkbook from me LOL. Its gorgeous but Nah I don't see it being the next wave at those prices. :) I think a lot of women will do like I did after year 2... just embrace what God gave them as it grows out of their head and let the heavy, time consuming manipulation go. I'm 9 years in now and my 4C hair is long and healthy with just a weekly wash and conditioner. No pre-poo and all of that stuff. I usually don't comb or touch it during the week as I have it in goddess braids or twists with just my natural hair which will last a week or two if I'm really busy. But having said all of that the style is really beautiful and I can see people wanting it for the beauty, but the cost and the fact its basically forever will slow their roll so to speak.

beta98beta look into the #ginacurl. Lot cheaper and sooooo much healthier

@@TheEvyanh2o thanks! it reminded me of an updated jheri curl. What goes around...

[@mscharlie1006]

You nailed it

[@lisavice7253]

@@talesia these locs are not new, it was popular in the late 70's early 80's. The difference is that it was renamed and the price is to separate blacks based on social class and socio economic income

[@AwlaboutTee]

Expensive yes, but $1325/53= $25/hr. Sounds reasonable to me especially if people get multiple crochet installs, weaves, etc. Looks great, Soror!

[@BlakIzBeautyful]

One weave install can cost about half or almost all of this if you buy good hair and multiple bundles.

[@coilsoflove2012]

I agree.

[@whatdacurl94]

I think its funny you talk about spending a grand on locs when ive witnessed a woman spend that on a sew in at least yours will last lol

[@heyitssteph1419]

Jasmine W I deff agree! If you add up how much we typically spend on getting our hair done ! Not including purchasing the hair! So i believe that this is an investment truthfully! And atleast you will be taking care of YOUR hair! Not weave or fake hair.

[@kokof1e]

I would have to disagree with the statement where you said that if a person charges $500 then they must not be “certified”. My consultant is a licensed cosmetologist, sisterlock consultant, and a trichologist; and I was charged $500 for 8 inches of hair. I think it just depends on the area you live in or where you choose to go

[@BlakIzBeautyful]

I stand corrected. See I'm already making mistakes!!

[@allym.6310]

What city?

[@KeptAnnointed]

Where was this sis??

[@Ohcourtney_]

Yes where is this? I need a trichologist!!

[@tabbylivvy]

Well she definitely deserves more. I wouldn’t charge anyone $500 for 8 inches of hair with the time it takes. I’d rather work at McDonalds than spend days doing sister locks for $500.

[@Bindi_Marc]

Can I just say Im loving this presence youre serving us? Beautiful hair, editing, diction, info, etc.

Yes! So worth it! I’ve had my Sisterlocks for 16 months and I’m still in love with them. Welcome to the family ❤️

😘

[@Naturallyvegan]

I never comment but your hair is beautiful! I've been thinking about locking my hair because of the same reasons you locked yours. I've decided to get a tapered cut for now. When I can afford sister locks I will definitely get them. The Army has allowed locks and I think sister locks would be the best option for me in the future. Also your skin is so smooth and buttery. Love it!

[@herhairhisglory]

Can I just say, as someone who is quick to exit or fast forward through anything over 5 minutes. That your editing was *so* on point & kept my focus throughout this *entire* video! Excited to see this new journey!

[@BlakIzBeautyful]

YASSSSSSS

[@meridien52681]

Yes! I LOVE my Sisterlocks and will keep them as long as I live. This is the best alternative for Black women to wear their hair! I've had mine for 13 years now. In all that time my hair has been very strong and healthier than it's ever been, and I lost 5 locks, that's all. i kept them and sewed them back in over time. My consultant taught me how to retighten my own hair and it's been very inexpensive for me to keep them looking nice and neat. It's a long steel-grey mane and I feel my hair is the best expression of my spirit and consciousness. Mine cost $550 to install. This was in 2005 in the Midwest and took 2 days to put in. Yes, the reality is that they cost $ to put in, but that expense is offset in my opinion by savings in continued maintenance like weaves and other methods. You can spend $300 on an expert weave you'd have to do again in 8-10 weeks. same as relaxers, every 6-8 weeks, there is the constant drip-drip-drip of money. I can wear my hair in any way I want. I can roll them for a fluffy wavy style, straight, braided, put up, any way. Yes, there is maintenance. So is everything else you put effort in. Interview different consultants. They do differ. Good luck and happy locking!

[@LovingSoul61]

I’m so happy. I’ve been really thinking about getting sisterlocs these last few weeks. I’ve been obsessively pinning on Pinterest and looking up info on it. Pretty much for all the same reasons as you. I naturally gravitated towards protective styles because I love the low maintenance and I don’t have a lot of patience for complex styling or the money to buy a bunch of products. So my whole routine just became very simple. I thought about traditional locs but just like you, I was afraid of the permanence. I’ve recently acquired a habit of shaving my head completely every so often as a result of liking big changes to refresh myself every now and again. I love really long “Marley twists” but they’re not really style-able. So I’m going to be bald for a while and get it out of my system and then go for the sisterlocs when I’m ready for the commitment. Seeing this video was perfect timing! Yours look so good on you and I’m happy to see you! Looking beautiful as always! & thank you for sharing your experience with us. I completely understand where your coming from about not wanting to be the ambassador and just enjoying your own journey with them. I hope it continues to go well!❤️❤️❤️

[@murielroyal156]

Welcome to your sister loc journey. I wore traditional locs for over 10 yrs they were butt length when I cut them. Sister locs are beautiful as yours are, however be careful they break easily.

[@DiscoveringNatural]

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know it was so expensive. I always appreciate your openness and honesty 💕

[@BlakIzBeautyful]

you know me

[@fatimamanneh9432]

They weren't really that expensive when you want something I spent $1500.00 on mircoblading of the scalp it was something I really wanted to cover up my alopecia

[@rob_cd]

@@fatimamanneh9432 Say what? I thought they only did brows! Can you speak on this? How did it turn out? I really want FUT, but it's so expensive. 1500 is a steal comparatively speaking.

[@queenbeethatme1009]

DiscoveringNatural it is not that expensive. I do 11 inches for around 750 to 800.00 Not including tip. I am on the registry and have been since 2013. It takes me around 25 hours to do that length and around 630 locks. The consultant I go to can do a similar amount in less than 15 hours because she is very fast.

[@fatimamanneh9432]

carlitadee it turned out good you have to do your research b4 getting microblading done not ever professional does a good job I seen pics on KZbin of some mess ups my consultant did a very good job my alopecia looks like I had my edges shaved I had it done in 2016 and it still looks good it took her a total of 3 different appointments to finish I work full time so I scheduled my appointments over a 3 month period my down payment was 250 then you pay again on the first appointment then 2nd &3rd you have to pay the balance so actually with taxes and everything my total came to $1625.00 it might be cheaper where you live

[@jovankearse7351]

I had traditional locs for eight years then I combed them out. Took me about a month to comb out. Then I got sisterlocks six months. I have had my sisterlocks for five years. Love them not very heavy as traditional.

[@marsimone1]

This video came just in time. I’m currently contemplating the sister locs, but refuse to spend so much money, and invest in so much hours. I did really, really tiny two-strand twists and interlocked the roots. I’ve been watching numerous sister loc videos. Your hair looks amazing. I can’t wait to follow your journey. I’ve been a viewer since way back when.

[@Sisterlockertv]

The Best Sisterlock video I ever seen! Very informative. Your Locs are gorgeous! Welcome to the family. Enjoy your journey.❤️

[@Doc_McStuffins]

Miss your videos girl. I always knew I'd loc when I was older, but I've decided that I'm ready now! Rewatching this video of yours while doing my research. Thanks for all the nuggets you left over the years. Hope that you, and your hair - in whatever state/style - are well.

[@michajb09]

We spend that much in less than a year if your a product junkie!!!!

[@mortalwombat78]

Locs is not permanent..I just took off my daughter's sister locs after 3 years. Her hair is thick and long after the sister locs.

[@navachijackson8317]

how long did it take to take the locks out?

[@brownstar45]

@@navachijackson8317 It definitely doesn't take as year as stated in the video. My friend took the out within 2 weeks and her hair was down her back. It just depends how much hair you want. She cut hers down to about 7 inches and combed them out. I've combed a few of mine out and it took about 7-10 mins per loc.

[@moniquejohnson8427]

It's funny how I was just talking with my twin sister, and I mentioned that I had not seen you on You Tube, and I was hoping everything was ok. Never be ashamed to do your own thing, or blaze your own trail. You never know who may want to join you along your journey. I am undergoing chemotherapy right now. All my long hair came out. I am completely bald, and proud. I have had long hair all my life. I have decided to keep my head bald. My head is not as big as I thought. 💛

[@Twistncoilstee]

I really enjoyed this video, so informative. I wear mini twist 90% of the time, so I am heading in this direction as well. Your hair is beautiful!

[@deborab475]

I have been following you for awhile and it’s been so informative! I can slay a twist out, up -do ‘s and how to take care of my hair because of you. I would like to say THANK YOU for ALWAYS sharing you experiences and your time. I’m currently doing research on getting sister-locks and thanks again for the tips.

[@lindasimmons6500]

Your sister lock consultant and her information and number

[@LBellatrix]

I completely understand and respect your position, Jenell! I also appreciate your talking about the difference between styling traditional locs and styling Sisterlocks. My locs were relatively "thin" but they weren't anywhere near as flexible as I would have needed them to be if I wanted to wear any style other than a ponytail. The one time I successfully curled them, the curls lasted all of a day. That's why, if I EVER go back to locs, I'm probably going to get Sisterlocks. I'm also glad other commenters did the math and acknowledged that you probably got your money's worth and then some. I now feel better about my recent Hair Rules purchase, lol. It's been a long time since I've spent $$ on a single product line but if it gives me what I want and allows me to clean out my product graveyard, it'll be worth it. It already sounds like your Sisterlocks are paying for themselves in recovered time and energy. Good luck!

[@Hopeandredemption]

Your hair is beautiful, when you factor in that it takes 53 hours it makes sense to pay $1,325.00 for this sister locks.

[@BlakIzBeautyful]

Agreed.

[@alisonhilaire4170]

Yes 25$ per hour is not that crazy. The price on its own seems more expensive than it should.

[@tabbylivvy]

Exactly!! Anything less is self robbery

[@charaelaquentaratliff7911]

Love your hair! 😍 I got small/medium comb coils last year to start locs. I knew I’d never keep them so I wore them for a year just to see how my hair would lock up. I took 13 days (could’ve finished in 8 days) to comb them out myself w/water, Aussie moist conditioner & a metal rat tail comb. Loved the growth I got in that time. I’m looking forward to your hairs progression overtime.

[@jamiegreene5201]

YAAAAY, SIS!!! I'm very excited for you! I joined the SL community after 3 years of wearing my natural hair. I need change, I wanted to retain length, I no longer wanted to over manipulate my natural hair. Nov. 7th will be my 3 year SL Anniversary! You made a GREAT CHOICE SIS! Beautiful :-)

[@tamiamyourfavoritedragon8890]

Thank you for your content! I just got my microlocs established. My locs are not considered sisterlocs because I have a grid similar to sisterlocs (locs in rows with perfect grid) but my grid has a pattern specific to my loctician. I have 601 locs at this time. The longest part of my hair was 12 inches. My install was 32 hours and$1500. no consultation fee but my first retightening and wash/style is included. Your locs are SO BEAUTIFUL!!

[@DutchessSarahJ]

These are beautiful but soooo small. I’d be too scared of them breaking or falling out, like micros. Good luck on this new journey. You were preaching facts about how much time it takes to keep up with our hair. I’m over it and have been putting my hair away in braids with like a week break in between installs.

I’m right behind you, I just hit 2 years. Are you completely locked? I’m still waiting, And every time I think of my #sisterlocks I say, “rain ☔️where💁🏾‍♀️” ( shaking my hair like the lil girl with the wig) I absolutely ❤️ not having to “fuss” so much over getting my hair wet.

[@caramia4143]

You look stunning with locs, no matter what size. You look so healthy and regal and are positively GLOWING, sis!

[@tati424]

It's my understanding that sisterlocks are a trademarked process which entails a specific parting method and tighting tool. I have been interlocked for 6.5 years now and my loctician used a crochet needle to begin and maintain my locs.... which are thinner that palm rolled but larger than sisterlocks. Wishing you the best on your journey and welcome to the loc'ed life!

[@Ossouko]

I don't know about sister locks but I'll lock my hair when I am 65 so I'm going to start saving my money now.😅

[@k.kitchens2522]

[@preciouslafleur5390]

When I saw the thumbnail I thought you had minitwists in your hair. I've done minitwist that small and it took me three to six hours to put them in and I loved the freedom of having them in. I would take them out every two weeks to wash my hair and put them back in and my hair loved it!!! I did this for about a year. I now have four children(my oldest is eleven, my youngest will be two in January), I'm a teacher, going to graduate school, and taking music lessons. I'm now considering clip ins because I have no time for my hair. I even considered chopping it off to help alleviate stress, but eventually I'll be in the in between lengths stage which is a lot of work, so clip ins it is!!! You have to do what's best for you like others must do what's best for them. Live your life!!!!

[@keepthechange1]

Smart woman. There comes a time in your life, when you must cut the chord. Your Sister Locks are beautiful and you have made a decision for yourself. The dangers in following EVERY SINGLE MOVE of an influencer, is when the Influencer decides to do something different. Individuality is essential, during this, season, as well as the next.

Girl. It’s like you went in my brain and made a video. I’m only 3 years Natural and a tiny KZbinr but I’m tired. I’m tired of tutorials and buying tons of products. I have already purged a lot and now only have 3 brands but I’m still tired of even that. I have a bald spot in the top and that’s the only thing that kept me from traditional locs. I have a girlfriend that has sister locs and she loves them. I might have to check it out. I did loc extensions years ago and took them out. I might have to revisit that as well. So many choices. Congratulations!!!!

I’ve been following since before I big chopped over 4 years ago! You’ve been one of my favs! I have been thinking about sister locs for months and when I saw on IG that you were getting them, I was super excited!! They are beautiful! I loved your faux locs and I had a feeling one day you were going to loc! And when you decided on sister loc vs traditional locs I was like yes! I’m still on the fence about getting them...not quite sure I’m ready to commit, but I’m looking forward to watching your journey!

Hi. OMG. I'm currently getting my locs installed (like, at this very moment). My hair isn't NEARLY as long as yours so my price isn't as high lol. This is part of the reason I even wanted to get them at this stage lol. I'm loving it right now even though we aren't done! Thanks for the video. I'm following because I would really like to see more of you; especially more about your locs.

[@williamenakwapo7481]

lol I finished your video after writing this. I get it girl. I feel the same way about not wanting to be the go to for sisterlocs! Still looking forward to seeing more of you.

I just love traditional locs because there’s no muss or fuss! Loc it up and go! Sisterlocs are also really expensive! I personally just can’t justify spending so much on my hair.

[@nakeasimone13]

Great video. I have to say that you are the third ole skool natural KZbinr I have followed for the past 8 years that has gotten locs!!! You look great!! They are really flattering on you. I agree with you the money you save over time when you invest in sister locs is spot on however I don’t have the commitment to keep them forever nor the patience of sitting 75 hours total (my hair is 17 inches long. I’m the type of person who like to change her hair every month or so. With that said, sister locs or locs for that matter are not for me at this point of my life but I can’t wait to see how your locs will mature over time as you go toward your next natural hair journey

Thanks, for this video, I just went for my consulting last week. $1085 I have 13inch but cutting 2 inches off. Getting them installed Feb...I can't wait so excited...

[@paulaz0904]

The most informative overview I’ve seen! Your hair is BEAUTIFUL! Thank you!

[@mslivehaha]

Jenell, I follow your fitness journey on Instagram and it is so inspirational. I have had microlocs for 6 months now and would love to see an update on your sisterlocs. ❤ Edit: I just rewatched the video all the way through and totally respect your decision regarding future videos about your hair. I am happy to continue admiring your hair progression through Instagram. 😊

Your locks are gorgeous! I had Sisterlocks for 7 mos. before combing them out due to a bad install. Paid $1,000 so that money went down the drain. I'm getting them re-established next week by a trainee who is very knowledgeable and is only charging me $575! I can't wait to have Sisterlocks again (the right way this time)! For those who want Sisterlocks but are turned off by the cost, I'd recommend looking into using a trainee. Some run specials from time to time for even cheaper than their regular prices. Congrats on your journey!

[@shantia_30]

I've watched your IG stories and IG lives and I just enjoy your hair journey. Thank you so much for making this KZbin video!!!

[@IcbinButta]

Such an amazing story and I must say your hair is just as gorgeous as you are! The price was a decent price, I must say; I too been researching SisterLocks and this has helped me so much; I as I'm big on TIME something we can't get back when it's gone and surly don't have none to waste, I thank you again for this video and good luck on your SisterLock journey, pls continue to make videos as you care and style your locks which will be very helpful for those considering getting them as well and how to maintain them and different styles, thank you again😘

[@andreadouglas4738]

I absolutely LOVE your hair! From the volume, to the bounce, to the length! I have long, thick hair but my dream cut is a bob, your length, parted just like yours. But my hair is so light weight that if I cut it your length, it would stand right up! That's why I NEED to get these!! And I can't believe it's only been a month! Your hair doesn't look weird, like a lot of people who first get them.

[@yeldahsheladonai]

I have never wanted locs until I saw yours. Gorgeous! And if you think about the time it took the stylist to install. The price is reasonable for being a professional and putting in 50hrs of work.

[@msneeta77]

Welcome! Your Sisterlocks are beautiful! I've followed you for years while going through my natural hair journey. Now I get to follow your Sisterlocks journey:-) I am about 4 months in . My hair is thin and not very full but still glad I took the plunge:-)

[@douglissaharris799]

I love your hair! I have been thinking about sisterlocks for over 1 year now, and this video was definitely motivation!

[@nkipmo1154]

Im so excited for you!! I started my sisterlocks journey 1 year ago!! Welcome sis
