Sisterlocks Update: What I Love & What I Hate | CeCe Olisa

[@amandaandronnie]

I totally just watched this whole videos as a white girl with that straightest hair ever. 1. Because I really like you 2. I’m super curious and it’s something I literally know nothing about. I love learning new things about other people and cultures. 😀and I’m probably going to go watch all of the other sister lock videos now. I have so much to learn!

[@CeCeOlisa]

amandaandronnie you’re soooooo cute omg love this so much!

[@anotherbubble85]

Haha me too! Currently googling sister locks and I’m in a whole hole of Afro hair info. Such a basic white Becky 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@CeCeOlisa]

Each one teach one ;-)

[@cassandrarussell5558]

Nothing wrong w/ that Amanda 😉

[@krysdekel]

I love that. :)

[@moniquegardner5280]

Very informative video. I would suggest using a soft/medium bristle toothbrush or better your fingers. Castor oil is great for thickening with Rosemary for growth.

[@Gloria-xz7yk]

Prices are similar to what I paid. Worth EVERY DIME!!! I LOVE MY SISTERLOCKS!!!

[@kwanzafalaka5668]

Literally 2:30 into your video and I had to pause to subscribe and comment. I love your personality and energy. Thank you for being effortlessly awesome!

[@shandah5019]

I am so impatient with some people and their videos, but truly thank you...I do not have sisterlocks yet...should be getting them in a week. I enjoyed the info...hope a great man of God...strong and confident in who God is that he sees you and can be all that you need...and you be what he needs...that you both be an awesome force for the kingdom of God.

[@NaturalleBlessd]

I absolutely love your locks and your personality!!!

[@livjefferson]

Ok seriously last comment, I greatly enjoyed your video and wish we were friends! Lol New subscriber and I get my establishment starting November 10th. I absolutely budgeted $1200 and like you said, gave myself grace to go up or down. #smart

[@andeanwilliams7459]

For edges, try putting a dab of black castor oil cause if not washing often enough, coconut oil encourages fungal growth which in turn doesnt help edge growth. Can be a bad smell though so hence I said 'a dab'. Hope it helps. Im an RN who had to big chop her locks for the same edge reasons. Working on getting back my edges now over 2 years.

[@spareld]

I'm thinking about getting sisterlocks, and so I found you.

[@totallythriftyfl]

As a Latina with extremely straight non-wavy hair I love your sister-locks and wish there was something like that for me to add texture and body to my own hair. So, yes I did watch it till the end! Also, I heard the spirit call!

[@nefertitigeorge9578]

Did anyone else jam out to the last 3 minutes of the vid? Thank you, CeCe for being you so true & authentic and sharing it with us. I am so bright eyed and bushy tailed right now and I am super grateful!

[@mercedesvalerofratamico6422]

hello! I am not black (nor plus sized) so probably not your target audience but I really enjoy all your videos, and I've been watching since PSP! I also have no black female friends, but still don't want specific groups of women to feel like "other" to me.

[@CeCeOlisa]

Mercedes Valero ahhhhhh *heart eyes* everything you just said makes you my target audience :-) I love that you’re intentional about bringing diversity into your life... thanks for sharing that with me!

[@bronzebomber814]

Hey girl com on in! LoL

[@Sisterlockertv]

First off I’m loving that reading the comments and you have people who watching and leaving comments who don’t know what Sisterlocks are!!! Love this video and glad I found your channel!! This is motivating! Your locs are Fire❤️❤️ You’re not supposed to pull off the (Buds) or Balls!!! It’s apart of the locking process!😘

[@kendreatannis5475]

The culprit is that hard bristle brush! I have sisterlocks too (locked at 15 inches and thriving) and I have never put a brush to my hair at all. You’re also brushing it very forcefully. Good luck!

[@adrianasalas4417]

I am Mexican AF but my daughter and I sat and watched your whole video! I watched it because I think it's a beautiful hairstyle but I didn't know exactly what they were or how the style is achieved. So I learned something new today!

[@CeCeOlisa]

Adriana Salas yessssss hola chica!!!! Love that your daughter watched too... so sweet!!

[@adrianasalas4417]

@@CeCeOlisa we saw a couple of your other videos and my daughter said "wow she is so happy"! It really made my heart soar. Thank you for being so inspiring !

[@CeCeOlisa]

Awwww wow :-) tell her I said hi

[@jkyoung7801]

it took me a week to do my microlocks and people constantly ask me who did your sisterlocks lol, i did research and was determined not because of the price, i just don’t like other people’s hands in my head. I have 517 microlocs and it cost 0 dollars lol

[@jetradaniels9528]

Did you start yours with zero product in your hair, just freshly washed and conditioned?

[@shawneegirl1980]

I went and got my microlocks (sisterlocks) installed professionally because I would have looked a mess if I did my own lol

[@meechiemishae4642]

Same!!! It took me 3 days, but it was the best hair decision I've ever made!!

[@nekaneekp4959]

I'm a year 3 and had to switch shampoos to stop my shedding outside the lock. Dont brush your edges. 4vweeks may be too soon for your retight. Keep your hands out your hair so often. Your a going from root to tip. That's the opposite of how we detangle our hair. So smooth your locs then kind of detangle from bottom to top or flip your hair with your head and be really be gentle. ....sorry for the mouth full.

[@dwaconsulting1609]

I don't have sis locks but considering it... and your video photo captured my attention... your hair is gorgeous!

[@blqberry1]

Use a silk pillowcase and give your hair a break from the bonnets...🤷🏾‍♀️

[@ogechiudoye3444]

Yes

[@jojocatattack]

I am white. I thought the video was interesting. You inspire me every single day to live the best life I can figure out. I have done tons of stuff to my own hair. Beauty schools and high end salons in my area use hair models to train students/staff and I have always been happy to let the stylists play for a fresh look for practically free. I am also curious about everything. I am so glad you are healthy and doing well CeCe. God Bless You!

[@charminglyrella6909]

A quick tap tip with the bonnet, turn it inside out. The band has a tendency to irritate your headline/edges. But I totally understand what you mean about putting products on your edges. I feel the same and I hate it

[@SunRayBabyJ]

Yes it is the band on that one satin bonnet. The band isnt satin so it snags the edges. I had to get a real silk bonnet that was all silk/satin including the elastic @ceceolisa Love your hair!

[@vanna7lawly370]

Yassss..and for me if i sleep on a certain side more frequently that is the side that gets more friction. And i dont cover my ears either like she talks about!

[@charminglyrella6909]

Yeah I experienced it as well. I now sleep with a sill scarf and bonnet

[@dstdiva01]

I completely agree about the money!!! I have sisterlocks now going into my 4th year in April. It was and is worth every dime. I pay $125 every 6 weeks and I feel that is a fair price. I have very thick hair like you and our locs are similar. I have been using Apogee spray conditioner but feel my hair is now a little resistant to it so thanks for the tip on another spray conditioner option. My tip for you on your edges is to use Aloe Vera Gel the pulpee kind at GNC. The back of my hair was doing what your front is doing. Use it two to three times a week and those edges will come back thicker and fuller. Love your videos. Keep them coming!

[@julem247]

I love how you represent! This video gave me so much life, partly because your hair is SOOOO beautiful and I've enjoyed watching the Sisterlock journey, but also because you always drop those gems of knowledge and womanist encouragement. I started following you a long time ago and it's true joy to see you flourishing! Much much love Ms.Cece!

[@CeCeOlisa]

julem247 thanks doll, I know you’ve been with me for a while! I love seeing your name in my comments :-)

[@Gaia_95]

Cece!! Leave your edges alone. Honestly, our edges arent suppose to be smooth. If you want to smooth them use your finger and wrap them with ask or satin tie. Lastly your ends are trying to lock but you keep pulling the balls off. Haha, keep your hand out of your hair. It's beautiful and thick. Let do it's thing. I've been locked for 7 years!

[@CeCeOlisa]

PrincessNavi I don’t want my ends to lock. I like them loose and open. Noted on the brush

[@Gaia_95]

[@mskss9411]

I love the fact that many have different goals for their SL but its totally ok and they all are beautiful!😍 Can't wait to be installed!😁

Sarah Baldwin hi Sarah!! I know you’ve been with me for a long time :-) love that you’re watching these videos too!!!

how about a silk pillow too, good for less stress against edges and better for skin doesn't draw away moisture…love yr hair not black or have locks but loooove yr hair…lets face it yr gorgeous….love yr personality …soothing, insightful, humorous…been a fan for years!

[@thecasablancalily]

I can't believe it's been four years! Your hair looks great. You look great.

[@CeCeOlisa]

Thanks doll, I know!! I can't believe it either...

[@FacesofLace]

YASSS!!! I watched the WHOLE video! Mainly because I'm always curious about how other cultures take care of their hair and skin because I'm a makeup artist in Texas and get all types of clients. It's interesting conversation, too! I loved this!

[@plumercrs1386]

I love your outlook on spending the money to get Sisterlocks. I agree. I'm close to getting mine. Hope they come out similar to yours.

[@solopenny]

you can use the rosewater as a toner for your face. . .just a little tip!

[@bronzebomber814]

Love rosewater but it ftom an arabian food market you get a good amount for a reasonable price and no cosmetic additives

[@ShanikaB]

It's the brush...

[@DBX4018]

Please stop brushing your edges. My edges cried when watching that! Like I almost felt them fall off!

[@charisse821]

I died when I read this! LOL No lie when I saw her brush, my reaction was so visceral.

[@locdluvit8814]

I was thinking the same thing .. I don’t have a brush for that very reason.. your hands are enough

[@natashadyer7550]

Yep, I found you because of Sisterlocks and subscribed because of your personality!

[@flowers2127]

Do you think the brushing is also causing stress to your edges? Also Do you battle with lint?

[@CPRstarr]

flowers2127 listen!!! As SOON as I saw how she “smooths” her “edges” 🤭🤯 sis!!

[@sarahogola1239]

I definately think that brush is a bit course for the edges

[@BoujieKCTrucker]

YOU JUST MADE MY DAY! I CAN'T WAIT TO START MY JOURNEY.

[@ShunikaStallworth]

I can't believe that I just now found your channel today (6/1/19) and this video is my first video of your that I have watched. I'm currently 8 days away from being sisterlocked for a year and I can't believe how fast this year has gone! Can't wait until I'm in my 4th year of being locked and my hair gets that long. I have documented my journey so far on KZbin with my sistelock journey, but have fallen off a little over the last few months due to some personal issues. Your video has given me the motivation I need ramp up my channel and go into my year of being sisterlock with purpose! Love this video and I'm about to watch more of your other videos and get caught up on you as I workout and am a NPC figure competitor! You are great and you have a new subscriber with me!

[@ladyiola]

My goodness! You are so delightful. I'm Black, and I don't have sisterlocks. I watched the whole thing to learn more. Your personality is so fun! The joy of life is in you. 😊 Good luck dating!! I know those challenges ..... 😏

[@joybmassa]

Well, I am a bit embarrassed because; yes, I am not a candidate for sisterlocks! I felt like I was talking with a girlfriend who was bringing me up-to-date ! I LOVE how pretty & natural & carefree you are with your hair. Thanks for sharing, CeCe!

[@CeCeOlisa]

don't be embarrassed... I LOVE itttttt haha thanks for watching the content is for everyone

[@patceeakullo2251]

Hey Cece thanks for the swimming with locs tip! Also your sister locs are so pretty they have me considering cutting my locs and starting over 🙈

[@lisettebrown8317]

Try Alikay Naturals lemongrass conditioner it is all natural and has a light consistency. You can find it at Target.

[@joylynn0620]

You should try cutting up nylon tights for your hair bands. It's easier on the hair strands and less tension on the scalp. Plus you can cut then to the size you need.

[@carrietoo]

LOL...my trainer recorded me doing pullups. When he showed me I said, i know it's about the pullup for you but do you see my hair". I'm a year in w/my SLs and since I never see my head from behind, the fullness captivated me LOL. I have to be careful w/my edges as well because I think tying a scarf too tightly is causing issues. And I had the same idea as you, gently wrap the edges first, then wear a bonnet. So I'll see how that goes. Other than that, I'm all good and absolutely LOVE them! And I agree on pricing. I don't share that with anyone and the meticulousness of interlocking warrants the pricing to me as well. AWESOME swimming tip, hon'. The company I work for now has a pool and I was thinking I can't use it w/my SLs. YES!!! I always pineapple at night for that very reason...the volume!! Your locs are lovely. Happy to have stumbled on your account :)

[@msdeev1h516]

Bad habit as said in other comments the balls or buds on the tips are part of the locking process. Turn your bonnet inside out so that the elastic is not directly on your edges. Also check yourself to notice what side you sleep on. Love your vids I’m Sisterlocked for almost 2 1/2 years now. LOVE IT!

[@patriciadavismoore4310]

I know what you mean about the satin bonnet. I turn mine inside out, seems to help, plus it’s satin side towards the hair. Just wish my hair was as thick as yours. Thanks for the update.

[@CeCeOlisa]

Patricia Davismoore ooooooh let me find out I’ve been doing satin bonnets wrong my whole life lolololol

I love them on you. I sometimes want them because of how good they look when curled. You can do twist outs and basically any style without detangling, except for wash and goes.

[@lisahobbs2312]

Hi CeCe, first of all your hair is gorgeous and long. I like how you are so attentive to your hair, scalp, etc. I think people think because our hair is generally course and with that being said we can be so harsh with our type of hair. Thanks for letting us know to pay attention to yourself.

[@mrsteacake]

I still ❤ you! I been following you on your sisterlock journey & also when you decided to get fit (if I that's proper)! your amazing! I took my sisterlocks out last month, after having them 2 years & watching you, pushing me towards getting them back again. I had to take them down b/c they were tied to negative energy & I'm so about a totally new me from the inside out. #queen your beautiful

I am African American and have just plain natural hair and I watched the whole video because you have a fun personality, I LUV that your dating & living your best life and your sister locks are gorgeous. They are not for me personally, but I do think they are the best of both worlds for those that prefer the low maintenance of a lock yet the versatility of loose hair. I am a self employed sistah and was thinking if I would add this skill. Mostly I invest in real property and l do loan signings. But before I got my business of the ground..... I was a head lice technician. I specialized in treating infected families from lice. I charge $600 for a family of 4. Funny thing is ( I actually enjoyed it). Im so weird. When I found out some installs can be as much as $1,600 ... I started 🤔 thinking. But I will fall back. Nope, long days , standing up, waking up early... not for me. But I loved your video and your hair is beautiful

[@NdidiOkakpu]

Cece, Kedu? I have 1 question and 1 tip: 1) You said your date commented on the amazing fragrance, what product DID you have in your hair? 2) To save your edges when you sleep, you may want to try these newer satin scarves and bonnets with a "Moroccan" rim to preserve the edges and style. You can get them at walmart, target etc. They work great for me! Scarf: www.walmart.com/ip/Evolve-Satin-Moroccan-Edge-Scarf/678053375 Bonnet: www.walmart.com/ip/Firstline-Evolve-Satin-Wide-Edge-Bonnet-Fuchsia/55291194 Hope that helps!
