LOOSE ENDS| DON'T stand for it! | Sisterlocks

[@hellobeautiful4248]

Thank you for bringing this to light! I just recently got sl done and the consultant charged me for 10” but only locked about “5! And I asked her to finish them, she gave me excuses about my hair texture & twice mentioned that I could get someone else to do them. after I paid her over $1,000 to do my hair!

"I ain't going to let anyone tell me what to do with my hair!" 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Absolutely Love/Appreciate your Energy/Education...Thank You! Definitely helpful info/tips for my microlocs journey 💜

[@latasharussell3553]

Very informative. I appreciate the perspective. I wish I saw this video 8 months ago 😔

[@Baconssurveysays]

THIS IS WHAT I’M DEALING WITH!!!!!! I locked my daughters TO THE ENDS and expected the person to do the same with mine….I want my ends CLOSED because they are too open and causing frizz! 😩 I was told I would do more harm then good and it will leave holes and to just trust the process! And I’m like NO!!! I know what I want! My daughter hair ends are still intacted….so I did one myself to prove it can be done…long story short…I’m just going to have to close my ends myself. But watching this just confirmed everything I’m feeling. I paid too much money to have half my hair locked!!! And now have to put in time to lock the ends but it will look better overall and easier to retain my length!

[@keciamclendon4537]

I don’t have SLs... I have DIY micro braid locs, but this is an awesome demonstration!!! 👏🏾 Saving this one to my KZbin hair tip files. THANK YOU, Tunisia!!! 🙏🏾

[@aishacarter2890]

I don't have SL however, I have locs that are interlock. And as you said I don't want to be a slave to my loctician. I ordered my interlock tool soon I will start doing my own locs. I'm going to TAKE CONTROL of my LOCS!! And that's that. Thank you so much for this video ❤️

[@kayg5496]

Omg..I have diy microtwist locs and experience bunching at the ends..so I loosed the ends and plait but I'm going to interlock the end like you showed..thanks 🙏

[@JT-th8dh]

You are FREE and your locs are BEAUTIFUL😍💖✨

[@riverf0123]

Thank you for this. I do not have SL, I am interlocked and the ends left out are driving me nuts. I flat out cut a bunch of em off bc it looked ridiculous! Now I'm 7 months in and have more undone ends. I don't want it looking matted. Thanks again for this video!

[@TunisiaAli]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jammydoughnuts]

Damn, I wish I knew this before I got my locs installed last year...I did like the curly ends at first. Especially during the early stages before my locs thickened. But at my last retightning, I was told to make an appointment to close the ends. At first, I didn't know what she was talking about, but she explained that if it's not done before they mature, the ends will continue to get thicker. She did one for me as an example to show what it would look like and I prefer how it looks compared to the others. I did always wonder what would happen to my ends, but I just assumed they would loc by themselves or whatever. This is definitely going on the list of "What I wish I knew before" lol

[@TunisiaAli]

Oh wow! GIRL, you know how 20/20 is. I have had to get used to learning after the fact. I really hope to be able to save people the pain of all these growing pains. LOL

[@ketramungasia6805]

Am two weeks into SL. I was charged for 7" though the ends were not locked. Thanks for the insight. I had thought that is how it was meant to be

[@BettyAlexandriaPride]

I also thought it was supposed to be that way. My loctitian left knots on my ends (the knots came from my hair during the locking process that didn't get detangled.) I'm interested in coily ends, similar to how my natural hair was before I got my sisterlocks. I'm washing my hair for the first time in a few days since my full install (first retwist is coming up) and I noticed some of my ends are curling the way I like. Others still look frizzy/ undefined with knots. I got used to it pretty quickly and I was just excited to get them installed. I love my sisterlocks, the pattern is beautiful. I just want to conquer dead skin at my roots and coily ends. Stay blessed. Have a great day.

[@tinarjackson9844]

@@BettyAlexandriaPride he Hello...i have that same issue. I just 2 strand twisted down to the ends and placed a knot at the ends. I had those ratted ends too. I combed out those knots and twisted then down!

[@yep2088]

she is so correct about loose ends, how does that suppose to lock

[@ishsesay4568]

Thank you for making these videos for us, your objective voice is certainly needed in the sisterlocks community. I am thankful for your wisdom, honesty and advocacy in this space. The information you convey is necessary for us newly locked sisterlocks sisters but I think also empowers us to be able to advocate for ourselves without hesitation. In reflection, how I wish I knew this information prior to my establishment last year. When I went for consultation my consultant showed me how much of my hair she was going to leave out. I thought it was too much hair and I stated my concern; however, she indicated that the ends of my hair needed to be trimmed; so I asked if she could trim it. She didn’t respond instead she gave me a look; in other words no. That should’ve been my warning not to use her for my establishment but there re not that many consultants where I live so I booked my appointment. A week prior to my scheduled appointment I trimmed off 3-4” off my hair since I didn’t want her to leave out so much of my hair out. I knew it wouldn’t affect the price of my installation and that’s not why I did it. After watching this video I measured the amount of hair she left out and it more than 3”. My ends are really curly so I didn’t pay much attention to it. But now I’m furious because I know if I go back and ask her to finish the ends she won’t do it. I feel like some of these consultants take advantage of people because depending on where you live there might be few consultants and with limited options that determines cost and how you are treated. And all this factors into overlooking bad practices. If it wasn’t for the COVID-19 pandemic I was prepared to travel to the U.S to get my sisterlocks established. I’m very self sufficient and meticulous about everything therefore moving forward I will do my own retightening. I found another consultant and she is wonderful. I plan on seeing her twice a year. love you sis 🤗

[@krysa7005]

Im dealing with this now. Some interlocked all the way down, other 1 inch loose, others 2 or more inches loose. My hair looks a mess!

[@Michelle-cr8or]

i had an install on 12/10 and a lot of my hair was left out by certified interlock consultant and ambassador. I have been feeling this was wrong for the past month

[@TunisiaAli]

I don't think that is fair when it happens. Its an issue of quality. Wow.

[@portiamckinney5501]

Alright girl I like u so much cuz u are so real when it comes to locs

[@here4drealt333]

I so agree with you. I am 8 mos loc'd and my loctician was just shampooing my hair and retightening and letting me go. My hair is unraveling at the end and has been for the last 5 mos. she never discusses it or the status of my locs. So I am trying to fire her. I did my first retie 3 weeks ago. I'm sure I made some mistakes, but I just learned today about plaiting the open ones down to the ends and that is what I started doing earlier today.

[@tinarjackson9844]

You're such a positive light! I'm about to start my Sisterlocks journey and I like how you approach the care of your hair! I will stick close to my loctitian trainee for probably the 6 mths-1st year if letting her take care if them. Then i will probably DIY my reties. On the subject if left out hair... I've seen so many leaving 2,3,4 inches if hair left out! That was the 1st thing I asked my loctitian about. I told her that it made no sense that people pay the money and the ends are not locked down? On my test locks she ratted the ends, but only left about 1-1/4 inches out. I was satisfied with that. But i thank you for doing a video, on this subject!! Thank you!!

[@Nicole-tl6sf]

Eye have ALOT of open ends in my front(longer part of my hair). Thought this was NORMAL. Needless to say eye will be fixing my open ends myself. Thanks for this video

[@TunisiaAli]

Yes Sister! You can do it and you'll be glad you did!

[@tamekamilsap]

I completely agree. I'm missed now, because I have too many inches out on my Sisterlocs. My install was completed on Dec 3. I don't want to offend her, but I feel as if she should have known better than to do this. I also have straids of have out in between my locs

[@TunisiaAli]

Not cool. I'm soooo sorry!

[@melaninstrength1853]

This is why when I do interlocs i try to go all the way to the ends unless a client asks me for loose ends. This is why I’m kinda anti-SL lol. I use a knot.

[@angelatolliver5671]

So true... I thought I was losing my mind....the more I watch your videos ...I get upset all over again. I thought I did my research, I definitely missed this info. I want my locs to look the same all the way down. I am only 10 months loc’d and those loose ends are starting to look like traditional locs and I don’t like it. 😡

[@deloispeal5908]

I love you sis and I love what you are saying you are speaking the truth.

[@shanaynaycobbs]

That's what's up sista keep it 100 all that bs about sista locks. I'm a sister and my hair will lock regardless no matter how many braids we have...Because that can kill a weak women's or beginner self of esteem keep up the realness your message is comforting and relatable and your hair is beautifullllll straight facts girl!!! Thank you

[@eyeonthesparrow9745]

I have open ends as well. It's funny because my hair was between 13 and 15 inches starting off and I was charged by the inch. But, as you stated in this video the ends were left unlocked and I am talking about 2 or 3 inches or so. I am new to this and was not hip the game. I was told that this was how it was done and the remaining hair will lock overtime. Someone like me who has finer and currier hair, probably will not the case. Now I don't actually mine it at all because I like the look anyway. I get to accentuate my curls still and my hair is very curly and very slippery. It will be a uear at the end of December since I first got my install. I learned how to sisterlock myself but still py for my retightenings. However I have taken lot of my hair done and redone them myself, because I felt that they were done too big.

[@TunisiaAli]

See because you have curly hair, you're gonna love your goddess locks. Sadly this isn't the experience other have. I like you, loved my curly ends and always reopened them. Lol

[@eyeonthesparrow9745]

@@TunisiaAli but had I known I would have renegotiated price. However from what I know, the $1300 I paid for my 15 inches of hair was an absolute deal! At some point maybe I will lock the full strand, just not now. Maybe when I am older older

I wish I would have seen this video before I got my hair done. I just did it 2 days ago I paid $1700 and I have 4 inches in some places. Five inches of loose ends that I don't like.

[@kneshiaavery2019]

I was wondering, can I too strand twist them.

Gosh! I'm so sorry!! Yikes. Be mindful of that loctician moving forward. I'm gonna do a video on this topic. Please join our DISCORD group. It's in the description on my latest video on DRY HAIR!

[@tinarjackson9844]

Hello my Sista Tunisia! I'm a newbie & getting my sister locks done. She back combed my locs to start and I don't like it. My hair looks like big ratted knots on the ends. I'm worried about that. My locks are very new...ALMOST 2 WEEKS OLD! She said not to mess with them & trust the process. But I'm truly not comfortable with these knot on the ends of my hair! My hair was measured @ 11 inches. I only see maybe 5-6 inches on locked hair and the rest has been back combed. Which means a lot if my hair was ratted up. I'm new to this world and could truly use your experience. I have yet to even get my 1st retie. I know you don't advice...but seeing this video made me really think about my issue

[@TunisiaAli]

Wow! That's tough. I am unsure, but it sounds like you need the advice of another loctician. Ifraj, my loctician used to advise sisters for 75$. I dont know if she still does. Its worth a shot. Ask if you can send her pictures and get a professional consult and see what she says. She is super busy, but it is worth a try. 404-207-6281

I mistakenly did it and color shortly after and had massive email loss which is how I ended up with sisterlocks after having to cut 10 inches down to 2 due to massive hair loss. Love henna. But, NEVER use in succession. Take a long break btn that and dye.

Ykw, it's the "don't try to tell me what I got on my head" for me. It's the "how you gone charge me all this money and not loc my hair to the ends?" For me. It's the "i don't care about grids and allat" for me. You. Are. A. Star. ⭐

It was also the "you have a hole in your loc, it'll eventually loc" for me.

[@sandypaul4923]

Thank you for this vid! Yes ma'am I had my SL established March 2020. The trainee measured 12 inches max, but left out 6-8 inches of hair out on the ends. On top of that she charged me the certified SL rate. Took her 40 hours to do half the length of my hair. Ohhh I was beyond frustrated. She was the only SL consultant in my 2-hour radius.

[@victoria4]

I’m experiencing unraveling with SL and my loctician charged me to fix it a d we only got half of it done. I’m ready to just figure it out on my own, I hate how there’s so many rules and charges for every little thing 😭
