Sisterlocks Journey: 10 Year Update! Installation, Hair Phases, Retightening, Routine, Colour

I’ve been growing my Sisterlocks for a whole decade! In this video, I share a 10-year update and tips for those thinking of starting Sisterlocks, or even those who are already on their journey. I cover the Sisterlocks installation process, the many phases my hair has gone through, my retightening schedule, my hair routine, and my strategy for keeping my hair healthy even with colour.

Thanks Georgina! 💕

[@yvettesmith4991]

I am 2 months into my loc journey and IT’S THE BEST DECISION I’VE EVER MADE 👍🏾. I. Cannot put any oils in it yet though. Great information because my lockticians did not give me a sisterlocks kit and I had to pay for my 1st retie. She did an amazing job though but I’m looking for a closer locktician because she’s 1 1/2 hour away😩in California where traffic is awful.

[@MsJacksonTravels]

Congrats!! Welcome to the sisterhood 🫶🏾

[@zeexoxo4583]

Beautiful ❤

[@sexysakura17]

Omg you and your hair look so beautiful, you’re definetly my hair twin. I’m going on year 5 and I can’t wait to reach 10. Please make more Sisterlocks videos! Especially more in depth on your color like your routine and if you experience breakage/shedding or dryness. I really wanna color my hair but I’m afraid so more info would definetly be appreciated, thank you! 💙

[@MsJacksonTravels]

Thank you so much!! 💜 I was nervous to colour my hair at first too, but I stuck to 2 rules: go to a professional to colour (even though it's not cheap) and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Thanks for the suggestions - I'm making more hair videos!

[@MsJacksonTravels]

I made a new video as promised on moisturizing locs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIbNqn5vfdt7bdUsi=46eQgHtHdmjjr4gn

[@mrs.joejoe6424]

@@MsJacksonTravelsthat’s the key. I only go to the pros for color. I’m getting my color back in Jan and I’m about 4.5 yrs in. It will be similar to your color ❤

[@Spider-Manfan555]

The first 3 hours of reteist was instead, $60 an hour after in San Diego California. Cost 1550 for 9 inches of hair. My first retwist took 8 hour because I was 5 weeks in with my locs.

[@MsJacksonTravels]

SL prices 😩 How long did your install take?

[@sylviag59]

I am a #newsubscriber who is also documenting my journey on KZbin. I enjoyed this video and if I didn’t, I would seriously consider it. Thank you for sharing this valuable information.

[@MsJacksonTravels]

Welcome! Your hair is beautiful 😍 Just subscribed to your channel ☺️

@@MsJacksonTravels Thank you very much!!

[@taylor_hattley]

You’ve been locked since 2013. That’s amazing.🙂

[@MsJacksonTravels]

Yep. I had to dig up my paperwork to check the dates since I had them wrong in my head 😆 Been a long time!

[@taylor_hattley]

@@MsJacksonTravels Yes.

[@PDB72]

You should do more loc videos. Very informative. Could you do a video on how you moisturize your hair

[@MsJacksonTravels]

Thank you! I plan to make more - ok I can definitely do one on moisturizing 🙂

[@MsJacksonTravels]

[@lisawhitfield3434]

I’m finding that these lockticians don’t know about hair. They take the lick class, get their clients and that’s it.

[@MsJacksonTravels]

You definitely have to vet everyone

[@bw2579]

My loctician is a licensed cosmetologist. It makes a difference ❤

[@ekoumoumbengepbuchwalderro1405]

I had locks for a year and a half and they were small at first but became medium as they grew..problem they were getting heavy and my scalp was becoming more and more tender..I have fine hair up on the scalp and thick on top "if it makes sense"and I was doing everything on my own..so I cut them off..although they looked healthy but I got afraid of becoming bald, because of the pain..question? Is sisterlocks lighter?!

[@MsJacksonTravels]

My sisterlocks are pretty light, but I've never had bigger locs so I can't compare. My locs size hasn't changed over time and I've trimmed them to keep them light. I would book a consultation with a reputable loctician and share your experience to see what technique they would recommend for your hair type.

[@Ada.I]

Hello. I know you covered the topic of your hair color in this video. But when it's time to color your hair, are they bleaching it or not? Thanks 😊.

[@MsJacksonTravels]

Hey! I know I only go over it briefly, I plan to do a video on just my colour soon. I use dark and lovely and it has ammonia-free hair bleach - so yes.

[@Ada.I]

@@MsJacksonTravels Ok, thanks 👍🏼.

[@deecee1375]

I have had my sisterlocks for 2 years. I am currently looking for another loctician. I was sick to my stomach when I noticed the damage done to my hair. I trusted her. She just retied so tight my hair was pulled from the root. I have already lost 2 locs. I am sick. Crying. The lady I want to try is literally charging almost $400 for a retie.

[@MsJacksonTravels]

Omg I’m so sorry you went through that 😟 Where are you located? A good loctician should be able to repair the damage over time.

[@allydowning7697]

I contacted several people...I had to show up with my hair already washed and had to pay $1200- $2000 for an install of sisterlocs/microlocs....that's it...nothing extra. I've just decided to start my locs myself. Unfortunately, retwist start at $200.

[@MsJacksonTravels]

Sisterlocks are expensive. That price range depending on your hair length, sounds right 😩 The install is a package though that includes your 1st retight. Like I say if you can start and maintain your locs yourself, that is the best! Good luck on your journey :)

[@stiarait]

We have to move past terms like “ugly” phase and “DREAD”locks. It’s just an awkward phase and they are locs. Words mean things.

[@MsJacksonTravels]

I'm comfortable with the words I use to describe my hair. You should use the words that are comfortable for you. We need to move past telling other adults what to do.
