Come Home To Sisterlocks

This is one of the original Sisterlocks videos that launched the Sisterlocks Revolution in the 90's. It has been viewed by every single Sisterlocks Trainee/Consultant over the past 20 years as a way of keeping them connected to the Sisterlocks story. Amazing how relevant this video still is today!

[@empresslonnie1love391]

Lol wow they need an updated version. Feel think I was watching one of them damn saftely video at job trainig

Yes, it would. That would be an awesome sight to see!

[@sisterlocks7994]

Hi Tricia. Dr. C here. I've lost touch with most of the sisters in the video. Of the ones I know of, most still have Sisterlocks, but have cut their hair several times... like me!

[@trishtn]

Thanks for responding. Any updated video in the making?

Wish I had seen this commercial back in the day. I’m just now really becoming aware of Sisterlocks and I’m planning to get them soon. I can’t wait❤

[@curliefro]

As a "loose" natural, I am becoming more fascinated by the sisterlocks. It looks to be very versatile due to the type of locs. Great vid!

[@terrikahouston74]

Thank goodness for Pinterest and all the cute modern sisterlock styles. Still a great video even with the dated hairstyles. It’s always nice to see the start of a revolution. I’ve been sisterlocked 3 years now and love them!

[@WhitterA]

My consultant showed me this, We laughed and laughed and then she gave me accurate updated information lol

I just got my sisterlocks installed last year in October and I love them I have no regrets what so ever

[@BreyonnaMorgan18]

Watching this is like watching a bunch of people in the 80s buy gold at $700 ounce while I sit here and sulk that the current price is now $1500.

[@victoria4]

I love this video, i just got mine installed. took 12 hours per day over a period of 3 days. Im feeling pretty insecure right now but im so excited to see how itll look in 2 week, 2 months, 2 years! thank you Dr Cornwell for paving the way

[@LooneyBillies]

Do you still have your Sisterlocks? Do you still like them? I’m thinking about getting them. Thanks.

[@genevadiva8]

I'm sure they all have on Fashion Fair.

I don't know why KZbin decided 2019 was the year to show this to me, but I appreciate this hair history. Loose natural 10+ years, and yes I watched this whole video. 😂

[@gabbyStiner]

I agree with everything except the lady who disrespected traditional locs. This might need to be updated. I love how empowering it is for that time period. Times have definitely changed

[@marshae.theteacher]

I wasn’t even thought of when this video was made but here I am 😂

[@King_Arthur_]

Thank You Dr. Cornwell. I have Brotherlocs and I love them

[@user-pl5nu6vn7c]

I think its time for an updated video lol. The video is very dated but the concept is really good.

[@charamaineatkins5247]

I am dying at these hair styles, but good info !

[@amandacw2]

I knew from the moment that I saw the logo on my sisterlocks starter shampoo that the lady in the logo on the bottle looked sooo Nineties with those big shoulder pads and baggy pants suit with big jacket. They haven't updated the logo since this video was published. My sisterlocks are 2 weeks old and I am loving them! Thank you Dr. Corwall. Update that logo though. lol

[@sippingonthatmessytea7285]

[@amberdenisetv1232]

I miss the 90s! 😫 TAKE. ME. BACK!

[@ah-ss7he]

*the 80s

[@amberdenisetv1232]

I thought this was made in the early 90s since sister locs were founded in 93' so maybe that's why the video resembles the 80s...but anyway i still miss the 90s even if this video wasn't filmed then 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@Butterfly-vy6hz]

Thank you ladies wherever you are! Saving this little piece of hair history

[@angelasanchez54]

Dear Dr Cornwell Greetings from Trinidad & Tobago....just want to thank you & express my deep appreciation for your creation. This is month 8 since establishing Sisterlocks and its the best decision ever. I enjoy the freedom and versatility and I hope to meet you some day....maybe when I come to learn how to retighten my own Sisterlocks:) Blessings & warm regards Angela

[@sherrytee2962]

Angela Sanchez not Dr's creation but we know what you mean

[@laurajohnson8016]

From t and t to

[@blackbeautynappy]

Please update this video lol

[@thasexystac]

Will there be an updated video in the future, I'd love to see that with a new styles and colors we are doing with our locs these days.....sisterlocked almost 5 years strong!!!!

[@danieces.7262]

I was wondering the same thing about an updated video. I had my consultation a few weeks ago and was kind of put off by how outdated the video was ... I wanted to see something more current, although I'm sure the majority of the info is still relevant ... I guess the representation could've been better, but it isn't preventing me from getting mine installed on 28 March thank you very much! lol It would be nice to see the ladies with varying stages & lengths of locs.

[@sisteryaya24]

Go to Pinterest.com and put in Sisterlocks. You will be amazed!

[@tegansantana2910]

This video is great! I hope you make a new one also for this generation with all the advancements since this video was created.

[@ah-ss7he]

That metal curling iron lmaooo I remember when u had one back in the day...burnt my hair up!!!!

[@liveyourlife495]

A blast from the past. This video was so nostalgic.

[@chloexhallefan8054]

I love this video, I like the vintage era also because it is so aesthetically pleasing. Sisterlocks are so beautiful. 🌸✨

[@danial9202]

that f*ckin walk is killin me lmfao but the vid is nice! so happy to see these beautiful black women loving their natural hair :)

[@BelovedofYah]

Thank you Dr. Cornwell for this ingenious idea. I will join the Sisterlocks family this Saturday and I can't wait!!

[@araisininthesun5958]

Where are these pioneer ladies today?

[@lavernejackson2055]

Informative video. I am 12 days post sister locks installation loving my sisterlocks. This video is older yes however it answers today’s questions

[@VerticalBeauty]

They need to update this video. I've been Sisterloced since 2008. It was old then. I think its from the 90's pre dial up Internet.

[@janedozen2268]

Getting my Sisterlocks installed was the best decision I made for my hair. #5yrs and still counting

[@pinksbrown117]

this sorely needs updating

[@savtelly3817]

I'm getting sisterlocks this year. I've been waiting since 2006 when I was a freshmen in college. I am so ready! I wish I didn't have to travel out of state but I know it will be worth it! I am so excited!

[@aresney6449]

How did it go? Did you finally get your SL? If so do you like them?

[@elainekabucho22]

I love thisssss, so lighthearted and so informative!!😊😊😊

[@1977ver]

Ok so I've had my Sisterlocks for 3 yrs now and this is the first time that I've ever seen this video.... (does this mean that I do not have Sisterlocks @ Discernaoftruth and Dr C?).... (Smile). lol But seriously, I wish that I had watched this video before I had mine installed! Don't get me wrong, my loctician gave me a thorough consultation, answered all of my questions and showed me a good video, in fact I luuuurve my locks and get stopped allllll of the time. Coming from curly perms and relaxers, then 16 yrs of weave and 'finally' being able to embrace my natural hair is so liberating. The feeling is indescribable. I would 100% recommend Sisterlocks to anybody, without a doubt. *Thumbs up.

[@ah-ss7he]

What about the maintenance tho? The maintenance seems tedious and expensive

[@deva190]

I met JoAnn at a small natural hair event around 1993/1994 before anyone knew what sister locs were. Very personable lady. I got sisterlocs in 1998 and would often get stopped in public by black women curious as to what I was wearing. It was the only natural style that my mother liked. I have since cut them but am thinking about going back to them.

[@Tiffanyantt]

An updated version of this video is needed. Like yesterday. This video tickled me. It’s informative info though.

[@CarolynForney]

Don’t hold your breath.

[@CountryLovinSista]

Great video! Even though it's old, I like seeing the origin of this system and hear the information and see what's changed between then and now.

[@TristaJM1982]

Is it just me or did Sisterlocks get larger over time? Many of these ladies appear to have loose hair because theirs are so small.

[@aesinam]

Most of them looked to have started with permed tips so I think that's why theirs looked like that

[@shawneegirl1980]

I swear I was looking at some of them like "she has sister locks???" Lol I was confused...i thought they DID have loose hair.

[@ah-ss7he]

Shawnee Reed prob bc they started on relaxed hair

[@TheRAH1]

You’re right. Originally there were four sized. Micro, small, medium and large. At some point the Sisterlocks organization stopped doing micros.

[@carmelized11candi]

Sis is struttin’ honey 😜

[@ChloeRaeofSunshine]

The said only 1-3 month for braiding and banding @7:30 OH THE LIES lol XD

[@naturallylockednlovely654]

Thank You! I appreciate your knowledge your motivation and endurance. I'm sure it wasn't easy trying to break through the barriers of the mind when it came to wearing natural hair and especially 'lock' when you first introduced this hair styling system to woman of color. I have had my hair Sisterlocked for 5.5 years and I love it. I had no idea the locks could be even smaller than the ones I have now...I heard you say 'Microlocks'. As far as Styling is concerned, I've noticed that the world of lock wearers frown upon locked hair which has been curled using a heating element/tool i.e. curling irons. There are other 'unbranded' locks on KZbin and in the world that uses interlocking as a technique and I often wonder if the 'unbranded' styles are trying to compete with your patented system because if so, they can't top us!

[@camilleespy7395]

NaturallyLocked nLovely it’s all the same thing. Micro locks are cheaper because it’s not part of that brand.

[@annettecrawford-sykes3523]

In response to Sisterlocks, I think interlocking and all the various 'unbranded' locks arose. Sisterlocks is well thought out and It will be difficult to improve in terms of layout grid and sizing. Dr. Cornwell behaved like a true academic and worked it out! I am happily locked for 19 years! An updated video would be lovely but.......... content is still spot on!

[@camilleespy7395]

I’m 8 months locked and o do get a lot of complements on my hair from guys which I was surprised about because I’m in a frizzy stage lol!

[@annjohnson1778]

I'm sold. I will be getting sisterlocks when I get my tax refund.

[@King_Arthur_]

Ann Johnson 😂😂😂

[@1sttimemom76]

Ann Johnson did you get those SL?

[@KAMALAISHERNAME]

Ann Johnson do more research. That shit can cost as much as $600.00 or more depending on the loctitian. After that, the retightening session can be as much as $300 every 3-4 weeks. If you haven't already had them installed, I'd strongly advise you to DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST.

[@1sttimemom76]

My establishment was 900 and my reti 100. I would pay that again. I love my SL.

[@everlastinglocs8985]

1sttimemom76 same here it was worth every penny

Hello Portia. One of the back issues of our Sisterlocks Lifestyle Journal is a "Stylebook." Its the one with the curly red head of hair on the cover. You'll find it in our shopping cart.

[@ah-ss7he]

Is the retightening tedious and expensive?

[@King_Arthur_]

@@ah-ss7he Not tedious at all if your loctician is efficient. Its take about 2-2 1/2 hours for me. It's $100 every 6 weeks for a re-tight.

[@niquesmith6563]

I have sisterlocks but I'm truly disappointed that an updated video hasn't been made. Can you imagine if other business used videos from when they first came out? Ridiculous! Funny to laugh at but embarrassing.

Finally I get to see the Sisterlock tool! I've heard that technicians would hide the tool...I'm not sure why (trade secret?) This was REALLY refreshing!

[@starrmoon-goddess3925]

SoulArtistry I presume its because "others" and Black ppl with no business or cultural integrity, will (and have) bootleg it, which cheapens what she has created.
