SISTERLOCKS 1 MONTH UPDATE! INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE, PRICE, NEW TOOL I USE FOR REMOVING BANDS!

Welcome to my sisterlocks journey! So in this video, I am going to be discussing my one-month-old sisterlocks! I will be discussing everything from how it felt having my sisterlocks installed to the sisterlock pricing for MY hair. I also will be mentioning a new tool that I use to remove my rubberbands! It is a long video, but well worth it! I hope this helps someone!! Also, the video ends kind of abruptly (my apologies), but by then you pretty much get the point I was trying to make..lol.

Thank you so much for talking about how much it hurt. I’ve literally been trying to find someone that kind of talks about the way that it feels getting installed. I’m tender headed so this is really great information

[@amberdenisetv1232]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching. 😊 i have had them for 6 months now, and i can honestly say that the reties have become painless. So if you can get through the initial install, it should get easier with the reties. If not, make sure you let your loctician know.

[@Gloria-xz7yk]

Hi Princess! I had mine installed this past Tuesday and my loctician was VERY careful. I am somewhat "tender headed". My loctician is also sensitive in her scalp so I literally did not feel ANYTHING 🙃 I was AMAZED that anything was done because???? My install was GREAT! So excited for my journey ☺ 🤗 💓

[@GriselDaBlanco100]

Looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 just cut my traditional locs off after 8yrs and started my new SL journey last weekend - I love mine too, even though my hair is short like 3-4inches I still love all 404 of them.

[@dirtyred417]

Hello lady with beautiful skin😘 welcome to the Sisterlock community. I’m a little over a year SL. It’s good to know that I’m not the only tender-headed person with Sisterlocks.. I’ve never counted mine tho.

[@amberdenisetv1232]

Hello! It's nice to be apart of the community! 😊 I HAD to speak on the tenderheaded girls because noone I've watched mentioned that in their video. No shame in my tenderheaded game 😂

[@mzmezza911]

Love your locs, just got my installed TODAY 12/6/20. Now i just need to feel comfortable wearing it.

[@amberdenisetv1232]

Welcome to the fam!! I am sure they are beautiful! How long did they take?

[@mzmezza911]

@@amberdenisetv1232 it took a whole 3 days. She did a GREAT JOB too

[@amberdenisetv1232]

@@mzmezza911 yup that's about right for how long it took me also. It helped that i have such a cool loctician. We learned alot about eachother that weekend 😂

[@GiggleKM]

Girl that no product thing!!!! I’m nervous about that!! I’ve never styled my hair without nothing in it!!! I don’t have 4c but I feel you on why the installation hurt!! Great Video!!

[@amberdenisetv1232]

Yes it was a new experience for me 😫😖😂

[@Divabookaholic]

So glad I watched your video. I just purchased the elastic remover. My first wash was last week and my hair was all tangled around the rubber bands it was the worse part of my first sisterlocked shampoo experience.

[@amberdenisetv1232]

Omg yes! I was like "it has to be a better way!" Then God sent me Raven's video! 😂

[@ivyworth862]

I love your hair. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. I'm getting my SL installed tomorrow. This is my favorite video so far. I'm sure your hair has grown leaps and bounds since you posted this.

[@amberdenisetv1232]

Thank you for watching and best wishes to you on your new journey. ❤️ They will be 2 years old on May 24th, and yes they have grown alot.

[@denisehylton2725]

Gorgeous grid, gorgeous hair. Thanks for reppin the tenders heads lol. Your videos are super helpful 👏🏾.

[@amberdenisetv1232]

I had to keep it real..lol..I was like "Why is noone talking about this?" Good thing is it gets better with each retie. I hardly feel them now. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@TheSavvyTherapist]

Congratulations on your new journey. I’m just starting my research. Your hair is beautiful!

[@amberdenisetv1232]

Thank you! I always said locs would be my forever style so i am happy i chose these! 😊 Good luck with your research and journey!

[@taniahasmith2892]

Your hair is Beautiful. I just joined the journey of Sisterlocks on 6/19/2020. I'm loving it.

[@reginamcfarland3764]

Thank you for your video, I'm 6 weeks into my journey, I live I southern Cali, my hair is 7-10 inches and I paid $900 + consul. I have really spongy kinky and then hair, the shrinkage is driving me crazy, but I'm trying very hard to be patient and appreciate the beginners stage!. Imma definitely order the tool!

[@amberdenisetv1232]

You are welcome! I hope you like it! I feel you on the shrinkage. I am trusting the process though. We will have our shrinkage-free moment sooner than we think..lol.

[@danielleadepoju5952]

My consult charged $800, I was expecting close to $1500 so I was happy. She also advised coming with my hair 'raw' and the clarifying Sauve too!!

[@amberdenisetv1232]

I had to come the same way. That mess HURT like a mofo 😂 I never tried to part my hair or comb it without product so the "grid making" part was torture.

[@michelenejackman2774]

yeh, my loctitian said to come to her dry. I has scared after installation that my twigs would snap! in the end I had to spritz mid lengths with water and jojoba oil. 3 weeks in I'm happy tho.

[@amberdenisetv1232]

Good luck on your journey!

[@angiesloclife]

I agree the no product on hair requirement was alien to me as a 4c, but mine didn't hurt because she asked me to come with it blow dried, so I blow dried it while wet after washing and then banded it in sections.

[@amberdenisetv1232]

That would've helped with my pain tremendously!😂 Even her detangling it didn't help because by the time she finished one section, the other was tangled again 😖 So glad that's over.

[@angiesloclife]

@@amberdenisetv1232 That would have added an extra half a day to the establishment, not a great plan tbh.

[@sylviag59]

Your hair looks great. I am a newsubscriber who is also documenting my journey on KZbin. I did detangle before my installation over 15 months ago. I look forward to more of your content.

Thank you!❤ That first wash/retie gave me life! 😂

[@crystalssisterlocks7255]

I don’t use the rubber bands bc I KNOW I would totally pull out the little bit of hair I have 😩. I use elastic ponytail holders instead and they work great! Your hair super cute on you 💕🙌🏾.

[@amberdenisetv1232]

Thank you! 😊

[@camtee1520]

Thank you so much for your honesty. I'm seriously considering get my hair locs. I'm tender headed as well and never thought about no product in my hair..🙄🙄😣😮

Thank you!

[@reneeharrell7075]

Thank you for helping me make a decision about getting locs. Sisterlocks are so beautiful!! My hair is bun length. I'm on a financial journey to freedom and just can't commit at this time. Thank you for sharing the price and pain you experienced. I'm assuming the pain subsides at each retie....??

[@amberdenisetv1232]

You are very welcome. Yes the pain i experienced actually went right away after she was done installing them. The 1st retie was barely painful at all. I only had 4 weeks of new growth at the time of this video though. I'll make another video at the 6 week mark.

[@kimberlyscott9091]

I went for my consult and I added some leave in condition in my hair. She did explain I was to come with no product because the loc could slip due to moisture. But my hair needs moisture or it will snap. My elasticity is crazy. She install my sample locs and so far so good. She said I can do my normal on the day of establishment.

[@amberdenisetv1232]

It's good that they was established early so maybe now the two of you can come up with a good plan for the future that allows your locs to flourish.

[@leahgodson2319]

Well explained, thank you.

[@amberdenisetv1232]

You're welcome.😊

[@loveylocbivens1397]

I love your locs, I paid 75.00 more for less than 6 inches..your hair looks longer..my hair is tight to my head..it may be 3 inches..I'm almost 2 months in. I was established April 25th.. .

[@amberdenisetv1232]

Thank you! Yea pricing is something that can vary depending on alot of factors that's why when i was researching these I didn't really have a pricing point in mind. I was just hoping they wouldn't break the bank. 😂

[@loveylocbivens1397]

I’m not tender headed but that install do hurt like hell. I have 583 locs and I paid 500$ for my install (6-8inches of hair.) I truly adore my locs mine weren’t thin looking after the install it actually looked full. All I know is washing my hair is so hard since some of my locs will come off completely 😭 I’m two months in and I swear washing is so scary for me

[@amberdenisetv1232]

Yea i can't seem to keep my edges in 😫 my loctician is super cool and understanding though. She told me to not worry about losing a few especially in the beginning stages.

Make up😂. Although i do have a skincare routine, I did put on a bit of foundation in this video though.

[@mirandawilkes1867]

How long was your hair when you got the sisterlocks installed. I guess pre installation? I did the big chop about two weeks ago and I hear some locticians say 2 inches and some say 5-6 inches.

[@amberdenisetv1232]

My hair was 5-6 inches. although i have seen where most folks can have 2-3 inches of hair and get them.

I got that elastic remover as well

[@kimdash444]

I paid $1300+ in full lol

[@Kittenkollection]

Hello I thought my consultant was charging me a lot I’m getting installed on next week paying 1100 and my hair is pretty long so I figured that’s why. I’m so excited abt getting them in.

[@kimdash444]

They left that part out! It hurt and yes I am tender-headed. Chile....it was 2 days 23 hours!!! I started praying silently on 3/14/21. The rate was worth her time. Poor thing!

[@amberdenisetv1232]

I had to speak on the pain because when I got mine installed no one was taking about it. I am glad that my reties no longer hurt though. The outcome was worth it, but sheesh! Lol.
