SISTERLOCKS VS MICROLOCS | Which One Is Better? | What Are The Differences? Sisterlocks On Fine Hair

Hello my YT family! In today's video I explain the major differences between Sisterlocks and Microlocs. There is so much debate about it within the loc community, so hopefully this help clear things up. I am not a loctitian or a Sisterlocks Consultant so definitely consult a professional for any questions you have before getting your locs!

[@hawtnsweet]

I love how respectful and honest you were in tackling this subject. It's rare to see with someone who actually has Sisterlocks. I was the third in my family to get locks. Two of my sisters were installed by Sisterloctitians whose names were gotten off of the website; only one actually got Sisterlocks. When I decided to lock I went the Microlocks route because I've been a DIYer for majority of my natural hair journey (now 8 years and counting) I fully intended to keep it that way. I felt that 250 locs would be something I could handle by myself when it came to self-retie (this was even pre-pandemic). I ended up with 237 and boy! when that volume kicked in, was I glad I got that few

[@SharidaM]

Thank you for sharing beautiful ☺️💕

[@soniafrancis7605]

Well explained you sound like a proffesional to me congrats❤

[@christine1962ful]

And that's the part I'm.scared of! Taking forever to retie!😆

[@symone9301]

I did my microlocs on the sisterlock grid. looks identical and a fraction of the cost!!! The interlock was already in existence in many African countries.

[@slbcreator]

Can we see pictures!?

[@eleasejohnson7052]

Exactly

[@cynthiaboone6059]

Location?

[@Blkbeautee]

I have microlocs and I love them. My locs looked like sisterlocs for the first two years. Now four years later they are the size I wanted and I interlock every two months. I braided my hair to start them and used the sister loc grid. I do not palm roll ever and my hair is waist length and not heavy . I get compliments on my hair all the time. My ends are not locked that's just my hair but I love my microlocs.

[@KinkieKnotie]

You are a beauty!!! I chose microlocks because of the price, flexibility, rules, and the maintenance of them. And you're correct, so women can be very mean and rude when someone asks a question. I actually left one group because of it (not directed to me) but just of the negativity.

[@SharidaM]

Thank you! Yeah I don't get the negativity! People really out here with an SL superiority complex and it's so silly. The best loc is going to be the one that best fits YOUR lifestyle and desires.

[@pamelafelton776]

I have micro locs, the method used was interlocking from tip to root. I have 173 locs and it took 11hrs. I love the look of both ( sister locs /micro locs)

[@lilianeford8540]

THE most underrated microloc video on KZbin. SO MUCH clear and accurate information. THANK YOU! New subscriber here.

[@SharidaM]

Thank you!!!! 🙏🏾🫶🏾🥰

[@mariadavis1154]

I have 280 microlocs 😊. I’ve always loved sisterlocs but i wanted to be able to self maintain. I wanted my daughter, (a licensed cosmetologist and loctition), to install them. I also wanted them on the medium to larger side if i had gotten sisterlocs. This is my 3rd set of locs. (They were traditional before.) Best decision ever!

[@Tynesse]

I’m thinking I might want to go the microlocs route because I will want to be able to self maintain as well eventually. They’re both so beautiful though.

[@ShesSoDesi]

What's your hair density? I have low density fine hair and trying to decide which to get in the future

[@thisnaturalgirlislocd]

TFS! I chose microlocs (393) for the cost and flexibility in how I was able to start my journey (two-strand twists).

[@singleservant]

This is by far the best video I have seen on the difference between Sisterlocks vs Microlocs, thank you for that! Your hair looks amazing!! At first I wanted Sisterlocks but for me it was the price that deterred me. I did Microlocs myself by watching KZbin videos. I am happy with my hair, of course the grid not that great, but for me it's fine and I wish I had done it sooner and didn't waste money on relaxers. One thing I would have done differently is took more time to get thoroughly educated on locs in general first. That said I still am very happy with my choice!

[@foodlover40]

The best clear concise explanation 💯‼️🎯 hands down. Where was this 3 years ago sheesh. Thanks Natasha

[@SharidaM]

Glad you liked it!!😁

[@blvckhippy_]

Thank you so much for this breakdown. I absolutely love how neutral and kind you were while explaining the different between the two, and keeping that love going throughout the video. I’ve been contemplating which direction I wanted to go with my natural hair, and after years of just thinking about it I’ve decided to finally go forth with locs. I’m fine with having either sisterlocks or microlocs, I just have to now partner with a loctician in my area to start the process. Thank you again! This was very informative 💕

[@SharidaM]

So glad you found some value in the content Shanice 😊 💞

This was so informative & your hair is so beautiful, I instantly subscribed...lol I've actually been wanting to loc my hair since the 90s, but I've been a commitmentphobe..lol. I've been a loose natural for 11 plus years now & I'm finally to the point where I'm ready to loc this hair. I'll be going the microlocs route (probably DIY) because of the cost & versatility. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge & doing it in such a kind & welcoming manner. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💜

[@SharidaM]

Thank you Deeya! I think you won’t regret the decision to loc. I wish I had started this loc life sooner!

Hi Sharida! I chose SL because they were not too much (cost wise) more than having microlocs. Also, I wanted the name brand 🤷🏾‍♀️😆you and your locs are sooo pretty, girl🥰 thanks for this video ❤❤❤

I did my own micro locs. I wanted sisterlocs originally but because I had to do it myself... I did not want to risk it not looking perfect. I am one month in and I love my hair. I have been obsessed lately with all locs. They are so beautiful. I have 273 micro locs btw.

[@Holistichart868]

Thank you so much for this amazing unifying video! I had micro Locs for three years, then have them unraveled and cut my hair. Now I am planning on having my locks re-installed after four years. I was debating which route to go the last time I had my hair done. I used too much Shea butter, resulting in a lot of buildup and lint. I wholeheartedly. Agree on doing a lot of research before you have an install. My loctician was from Brooklyn. She herself has micro Locs and her Locs look absolutely amazing. That is a telltale sign right there. Sadly, she has move down south and I am in New England. I have found a sisterlocs consultant and a microloc Loctician in Boston. After this video, I am going to cancel my appointment with the Sister Loc consultant. I have a number of children husband home practice I just have way too much going on to be able to maintain my hair. Time is of the essence. I wholeheartedly agree that women need to stop bashing, one another, and develop some form of respect. We don’t always have to be right, and this stems back from our ancestors history of trauma. Many of us women have a lot of work to do. Thank you again, both you and your Locs are beautiful 🤎🤎🤎

[@tinah7088]

My microlocs were done with the interlocs method and I have tiny locs. 450 locs on very fine low density hair. I had sisterlocs previous. My hair didn't do well with it for some reason. My microlocs seem to be a tighter install and they are just as small. Both methods are great. As you said it depends on the person and what they like and want.

[@empresserica]

Thank you so much! You helped me a lot! Bless you! Happy 2023!

I love your hair❤️ I have Sisterlocks also 498 of them, I’m currently 14 months locked. I’m pretty sure once my hair gets to your length it will look similar. I started with 2 inches , this is my 2nd set. I love them, they are already at my shoulders ❤️❤️❤️

[@SharidaM]

Oh wow! They are growing fast on you! Thank you ☺️

[@Joy-kl3te]

Thank u very much for this informative video. I'm considering microlocs on long relaxed hair and just trying to understand all of the options. Your video is very helpful. ❤

[@loshon38]

I follow this salon based in New York, and the Stylist stated, Sista locs are microlocs, but Microlocs are not Sista locs. Just as you noted.

[@nccu22]

I’ve had sisterlocks. I absolutely loved them. The only area of opportunity is this: when a loctician puts 800 locks in your head and then charges you more because your retie took longer then the set time. This literally was my only complaint. Micro Locs: I feel if you are a DYI’er it’s doable. If not you just have to be very careful on who you have start them. I had a bad experience there as well.

[@talithiamcleod5108]

Thank you and now I realized today for sure that Micro-locs is for me.

[@ojhoanaflemming5795]

I have sister locks, and I love them. I wish I had of had micro locks installed only because of the price. I researched sister locks for months and my loctician was thorough with the information and teaching. And honestly, I didn't see the tool she used, and she is strictly by the book. I've had them a little over a year and they have expanded. I wanted them really thin, but my hair density wouldn't allow it. It took 3 days about an estimated 21 hours. I'm actually planning to take classes to become a loctician. Thank you for this video, I'm still looking for ways to keep my hair healthy, and I found this interesting.

[@shydobaankween]

It puffs up then compresses in time.

[@zeketraredden9232]

I enjoy the video I went for a consultation without doing my research silly me. Im still going to get the sister locs I just have questions to ask. I chose sista loc because I want my locs to be a certain size and feel as though they’re are easier to manipulate with style .. Microlocs are pretty too … .. just like you said it’s whatever work best for you .

[@SharidaM]

Love the choice I made to go with Sisterlocks! I hope you are able to find an amazing consultant. Enjoying my journey so much.

[@shanahoward1868]

Very Informative..I'm stuck in between the two and have been wanting to get locks for over 20+years..commitmentphobe..but, I'm ready now!

[@luvmeany]

This video was really helpful. I just shaved off tailbone length locs that I grew for 6 yrs. I had smaller ones in the front, really big ones in the back, and no middle or right side part. I'm bald now lol, but when my hair grows back out, I definitely want to go way smaller with a more consistent grid. I can always combine them later if i choose to go larger is my thinking. I also wanted an understanding of what micro locs were so I could decide if that was what I was going for. I want smaller, neater locs that are small enough to give me even more volume than I had before, but without being so small that I HAVE to go to someone else to maintain them. My threshold is that I need to be able to take care of them myself if needed. If I can't, they're too small and too specialized

[@FabFindsByKetra]

Hey Boo! I have always wanted to get sisterlocs

[@SharidaM]

[@cherrelle9964]

I have sisterlocks. Had them since 2013. I did a lot of research. Almost got "sistah locs" from the braid shop that was down the street for $50. I found a natural hair salon with a consultant and a trainee. It wasn't too far from me. Price was decent too. Win Win. If I lived in a different area or if I found a microloc person I would have went that route.

I wish I had researched the subject more before getting the locs. I trusted the loctician who was recommended to give me the service I paid for. After receiving the so-called sister locs, which I loved my hair. I was told by 3 sisters loctician I didn't have sister locs. I have micro locs, and the person double twisted my locs. Now, I'm trying to figure out what to do about my hair. Becareful with the loctician you choose and don't make the mistake I did and not do your research. Have a blessed day!

I appoligize if it's a dumb question but in my head the sis locks purpose is not to have to take down u put back up like micros ....n how does it work or is it possible to color roots ?

[@sweetpeechiz]

Beautiful commentary on SL 😊 But please be careful out here when it comes to your SL , everyone is not out here for your good on your hair periodT. I let a girl In Hayward CA, name Kristin do my Sisterlock install- 🤦🏽‍♀️ she was awful to say the least and very unprofessional. I went to her for a couple of more months, but my gut told me to stop going to her. She did not know what she was doing. She did not do the Sisterlocs grid- she messed up my hair- and had the nerve to get upset because I stopped tipping her. In the meantime I was looking for a new sister Loctician ….and I actually reported her to Sisterlock foundation . I have a new lady now , in San Leandro California. She is amazing ! Some of these folks out here do not want to take care of your hair. They only want the money. And her attitude was definitely from the devil.. If you feel it in your gut, please do your research. Do not go to the first person you see! This is my second set of Sisterlocks. Soon I will be doing a channel myself regarding my Sisterlock journey. 😉👍🏽

@@shanahoward1868 This ultimately comes down to how your hair decides to lock itself (genetics) and how long it takes to lock. I've seen results similar to her's on both Microlock and Sisterlock wearers with some women years into their journey. Some people's curls go away after 5 years and look like traditional locks. Others hair kept the curls and just got longer with more volume. I don't recommend starting this journey expecting your hair to look like someone else's. It typically ends in disappointment.

@@shanahoward1868it’s so thin so the curl pattern is showing.

[@blu_rey8656]

Your locs are beautiful, but I can’t be bothered with all those sister-loc rules. I want to be free from as much dictatorship as possible.

[@titilayothegreat]

yours are very pretty

[@SharidaM]

Thank you so much ☺️ 💞!

I had a consultation with a certified sisterlocks consultant, who does not use the sisterlocks tool, she says she uses the reverse 4 pattern on everyone, she takes only two days to install everyone and that I should follow all the rules. Here is the kicker, my installation price was $1800. She was lovely, beautiful and had great energy, but give me a break my hair is not even 15 inches all over, but you can install me the same mount of time as a person with 4 inches. I would never pay that much for the installation and more importantly there were too many red flags.

[@SharidaM]

Yeah…see you knew better! Too many red flags 🚩 Imagine how many people just see “Sisterlocks Consultant” and think no further. Research is so important. And $1800?! Girl Bye!

Gorgeous goddess!

[@pinknailsonlyy]

Sisterlocs are nice. Just look like they take 3 days to get them done.

[@SharidaM]

Mine took 4 days to install 😭😭

@@SharidaM Awesome I live in California but my daughter lives in Atlanta!.. … Thank you so much for responding. Please clarify you have SL abs not ML? Can you put your locs in a high ponytail bun?

[@SharidaM]

@@willywonkaabc758 I have Sisterlocks and yes I can wear them in high ponytail or bun.

[@tylarkins3272]

New follower great video. I look up your stylist her page does not come up on IG? Is there a link you can put on the description of her handle?

[@phoenixrising2759]

I'm so tired of watching her videos and looking at her gorgeous locs. I had the exact same question. Thank you! I'll be giving her loctician a call today. I'm done with indecision! I'm ready! Peace and blessings to you!💕

[@brwnshuga39]

I want sisterlocs but this is just too much…🤦🏾‍♀️🙄

[@SharidaM]

Yes...better to realize that before hand lol. So many don't and end up starting over or combining them.

[@cynthiaallen-bryant8161]

After watching the video I still don’t know the difference.🤷🏽‍♀️

Cost, time, rules, grid and preference.
