"Sisterlocks are not cheap...they are not cheap...THEY ARE NOT CHEAP!" Lol. Love it!😂 So true!

[@Brittania718]

You think I should've said it one for time for the seats in the back? LOL

ABSOLUTELYYYYYYYY!!!😂

[@tankeeyab]

How much do they cost? What are the ongoing costs?

[@tacotaco7909]

@@tankeeyab $100 a hour and can take anywhere from 10-23 hours

[@VelvetLox]

I love your hair. I can't imagine how long it takes to maintain.... you really have patience because you have a lot of hair.... whew . Great video, very informative.

[@Brittania718]

Thank you Velvet

[@Sistalocgal]

I'm getting my sisterlocs installed December 27 really excited. Question for you should you wash them after you get them installed. What do you do for the stiffness after the installation.

[@portiamckinney5501]

Do you mind sharing how much you paid. You came a long way. You hair is gorgeous.

[@DollyMat]

Amazing locs and great advice.

[@Brittania718]

Thank you ;)

[@sav9918]

wait... I thought when you get sister locks they get longer

[@Brittania718]

Savannah Sawyer I don’t understand what you mean. The length of your hair doesn’t determine if you have sisterlocks, it’s based on your grid

[@maliyahmiller5521]

I’m blessed to have an aunt that does these. She’s eager to do my hair. She wants to do it for free too. She’s a licensed stylist. My grandmother got hers done a few years back and her hair is flourishing 😂. I’m so exited.

[@9lives_take818]

Luckyyyyy😫😩

[@tamikasmitt935]

How much does she charge can I get 50% off using your family discount pleas ?

[@brithegoddess]

haha! "...my inner fat girl, Bertha..."

[@Brittania718]

Bertha is real! lol

You are correct! I love my hair full! I think once I do it I'll wear wig until it gets full 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[@eyllieprecious4704]

Zepha Praise me too

[@risarchiivee]

thank you so much!! I am getting mine tomorrow and I am only in middle school and my hair stylist is saying that it will be long by the time I am in high school!!

[@Syeona]

You need a survival kit just to get your hair done LOL!

[@mrstosh9526]

It’s 2019: I got Sisterloc’d in 2009. Wish this video was available back then! “Are those extensions? How much did those braids cost”😫Yes the stares and questions were so annoying. Now it’s “who does your Sisterlocks?”

[@TayNorrel]

Great info with realistic expectations. Thank you!

[@Brittania718]

+TayNorrel Thank you

[@diandraraymond1262]

That is the most beautiful locks I've seen how long have you had them for

[@Brittania718]

Why thank you Diandra! It's been 8 years

[@shannonbrown7069]

Thank you soooooo much for this video !!!! I'm new to your channel and I'm seriously considering Sisterlocks. I had traditional locks for 6 1/2 years only to comb them out. I have worn my hair natural since the comb out (2 years) but now..... I'm ready for another journey . This video answered all my questions and I had my consultation today.

[@Brittania718]

Hi Shannon!! I'm glad this video was so helpful to you! If you have any other questions feel free to let me know ;-)

[@KJohnsoncsu18]

Shannon Brown I'm on the same journey

[@MsAakifa]

Me too!

[@Woaidajiji]

Your hair's B-T-Full! Those questions are killing me! lol I even got: I love your hair because I know it's real ( white boy) I normally wash my hair every other day with Head & Shoulders. I'm allergic to the petroleum in most hair products so I don't put anything else. That is it! wash- let it dry- braid or put rollers overnight to add volume. I re-tighten it, myself, once a month using safety pins ( movie and wine) lol. I haven't depended on anyone to do my hair in over 3 years!! One more thing: I think Head & Shoulders is helping in slowing down the locking process. I didn't want to lock too fast anyway. For coloring: I use Henna. Again: Your hair is beautiful!!

[@fayetaylor1998]

I get my install on 9/12/16. I want to eventually learn how to re tighten my own hair as well. Don't really want to depend on anyone. But I will go to the loctician for at least a year to make sure everything is cool. And I also use henna but was worried about using it once I'm loced. How is that working out for you? Is it hard to rinse out of the locs? Does any stay in the locs?

[@trinitavargas6838]

Ok sooo...this is a dumb question but the initial install will be the length of your own hair? Or can you get extension?

[@bellebutler3119]

There is something called nordalocks for the sisterloc look using extensions

[@ItsSonya94]

This was soooooooo helpful!! I'm seriously considering getting sisterlocks and am doing all the research I can on them, and even found an R certified locktician in my area from the sisterlock website. I just came to the realization at the age of 44 that I'm tired of dealing with braids, synthetic or human hair, trying to decide to what to do with my natural hair on a daily basis. (I've been natural for over 5 years) I'm all about ease and convenience, and while I understand sisterlocks are a commitment and a lifestyle change and a hit to the wallet, I'm ready for it.

[@Sistalocgal]

So excited your video has helped me to decide to get sisterlocks I had a lot of questions and you answered all of them. Thank you for helping me go forward with my journey.

[@Brittania718]

[@aliciamcneil3287]

there is no waiting period to wash you hair for traditional locs...js...I don't know how that myth came about

[@germyw]

Exactly. I rinsed my hair everyday during my shower at the beginning.

[@Pooda1996]

I have very short and thin hair would you recommend it for my hair

[@TiMalice2009]

You need to take vacation day for those locks.

[@heavenmosley8966]

I love your hair. I want them. what about my shrinkage? I have very thick coarse hair with major shrinkage when it gets wet. Bern natural for 9 years. was wondering how this would work? did I say major shrinkage?

[@jitalyj-feelingit1008]

23 HRS to install??? What in the ....im still in shock. Jaw dropp

[@Zepha-Education]

How often do you get it done though!? Thank you for this video! I think we have the same hair texture... 4C! Right?

[@LaJoyB]

I hear in Maryland the prices are verrry expensive. Its sad because we should be motivating sistahs to go natural. The prices are a turn off. Sisterlocs are not for everyone.

[@NaturallyBec]

Hello, I've been researching sisterlocks lately and stumbled on to your channel. I'd like to get some done but probably not until I'm in NY. What consultant in NY do you use if you don't mind me asking? I really love your sisterlocks by the way they are beautiful!

[@Brittania718]

thank you! I see Wariesi. She's on the website too

[@NaturallyBec]

You're welcome, and thank you very much!

[@boyceneals]

Im starting my own sisterlocks. I took the trainee class and am using my mom as help and explaining what she needs to do sectioning wise. I cut my first set because of bleaching and locks falling out. Never being cheap again and going to a proper colorist but probably wont dye this set.

[@Jrashadbanks]

Your hair is so long, thick and beautiful

[@Brittania718]

thank you

[@jamesturpin1777]

Your hair compliments your beauty. Very nice look....

[@Prettyfacebundles44444]

This is so informative,,,I'm thinking about getting them.

[@Brittania718]

Sweet!

[@Jessicaispresident]

What happens when your lockers grow out and you want them shortened

[@aikinsv]

If I knew then what I know now, I would have gotten sister locks years ago

[@subrinalynch7804]

Is this permanent? Can you get them combed out

[@badandy8888]

People always ask questions about natural black hair.

[@Shaynic813]

Very informative and funny. I'm considering locs, either sister locs or interlocking.. so I'm here for research lol

[@sisteryaya24]

Great tips! Thanks so much! I've done my research and I have selected my Sisterlock consultant. My consultation is this month. I'm ready! I know I will never have locks like yours because my hair is fine and on the thin side but I'm still looking forward to the journey. Needless to say your locks are gorgeous! Thanks & Bless

[@fabiola925]

I wonder if they hurt to set it up (I’m tender headed).

Thank you

[@sherribooker1507]

Beautiful hair😍

[@sedembanini9115]

Thank you for this video! Quick question, would you recommend retwisting your own sisterlocks in order to save money??

[@Brittania718]

it wouldn't be the same if you retwist it, have you taken the retightening course?

[@sedembanini9115]

Not yet, but I'm planning on doing so. Would that be a good idea?

[@golden-grace]

Hey beautiful, thanks for this video, I wanted to take the plunged next year, but but I’m wondering , if with my 4 type thin hair, sisterlocs be beautiful and “thick” on me. What you think ? thank you💕

[@gingerfab]

Do they get tangled?

[@kanyakondo8794]

great imformation

[@Nickyloveslove]

[@portiamckinney5501]

Do you entourages hair

[@tressbiensalon7001]

Thank you for this video. This was very helpful. I’m seriously pondering on getting Sisterlocs in the next few months

[@user-je8hd7rp5g]

My question is can you get Sisterlocks if you have alopecia? it''s right down the center of your head? If so where can I go to find a good installer? Thank you?

[@doviethurman3522]

Hey I'm from Chicago the north side of Chicago that is and I am having a very hard time finding someone to do my install I was unsure for years if I wanted to lock and I've been looking into different styles different sizes and sisterlocs seems like the best option but I can't find anyone to do it just wondering where you're located and if you can refer anyone

[@thejxkelly]

Should I trust a "trainee" or wait until they are certified? What does a trainee lack by not being certified?

[@mjones7619]

I am going for my sisterlocks consultation in one week. You mentioned in your video that you should not use conditioner or any other creams in your hair. When I go for my consultation should I wash my hair with just shampoo only?

[@imanimaya1144]

Your locks😍

[@leesemonya6594]

This lady said “she does starter locs but also told me she does sister locs are those the same thing? All the ladies on the site said they’re not accepting new clients which I think they’re just saying that

[@krissydior423]

Hello, I jus got my starter locs today. How are they suppost to grow?

[@Brittania718]

Hey there! I just saw this. What did you mean?

[@krissydior423]

I meant how are they suppost to mature? I go to the salon to do it.

[@ALBERTABERTASENNAH]

Love your hair 🌹

[@Brittania718]

Thank you!!

[@organicbeauty54]

I have seen you before. LOL.....I don't want to say the state, but I do know Kevina, if that rings a bell. Girl, I love your channel. I am thinking about sister locks for a while now. I think I'm going to do it.

[@Brittania718]

OrganicBeauty LOL hey there. Thanks for the love. I love my sisterlocks. Best decision I made

[@magictrick1976]

thanks for the video! so what do you think about "dry locking" Sisterlocks? Im on my second set of Sisterlocks (long story). But for certain reasons, I decided on dry cleansing my scalp and hair (more details can be given if needed). when I had traditional locks this "celebrity" stylist would do scalp cleansing on me because she said my texture would take a long time to lock (I took them out after 2 years because they didn't lock lol) and to prevent bunching. all of her clients hair looked BEAUTIFUL, so I trusted her judgment, and I thought that this would be a good idea to try it out now with my Sisterlocks. So far I am extremely happy about the results! it looks like all the bloggers hair on youtube who have all these perfect locks from start to finish as opposed to looking like a shag rug or a wet dog like I did before (I used Sisterlocks products and banded properly and religiously). So my biggest issue now is wanting to know when I should transition from dry washing to "wet" washing my hair with traditional shampoos again. and when I do, should I begin to band again like my Sisterlocks are freshly installed. Thanks :)

[@Phenom-rl5pr]

How often do u retwist and how much does each session cost more or less?

[@jamilano1]

big help

[@Brittania718]

+Ly'E Jae Eff I'm glad

[@janiacarver7634]

Why wouldn't you oil ur scalp?

[@MiilyGarcia0119]

Jania Carver because it can cause slippage when re twisting your hair

[@tamikasmitt935]

What's a grid

[@hiyahiy]

Those are sisterlocks? I thought they were regular locs

[@portiamckinney5501]

Do you think you would ever dye your hair with some color

[@msnnbc]

I am getting my sisterlocks installed for my birthday in December 2015! I just went to my consultation and returned with 8 "test" locks in my hair! Omg I am in love with the locs already. I can't wait to not have to deal with knots and tangles of my kinky hair. I truly believe a bound style like locks is really beneficial to kinky, 4c hair.

[@Brittania718]

That's awesome!!! How's it going?

[@msnnbc]

Brittania718 Hey thanks for the reply. I love the locs. I wish I had sisterlocks 10 years ago!!! I love them.

[@KirtBean]

Do you still have them?

[@EverythingMoxie]

How long were you natural before getting sister locs

[@Brittania718]

ummmm TBCH (To Be Completely Honest) I have no clue. Sheesh it was so long ago. Maybe a year or two..again not sure..sorry

[@EverythingMoxie]

Brittania718 okay , thank you for responding 🤗

Great vid! How do u know if someone is registeree

[@alyssaisnotdoneyet]

$Cheap.99 😂😂😂

lol that's the low low

[@therastafairy5368]

love your channel girl. I've done the big chop and currently 2 inches afro hair. Is that a good enough length to install my sister locks?....I've been waiting for this a long time :)your hair is fab to the max....shout out from London UK xxx

[@Brittania718]

+shelly hoyte Thanks Shelly!!!

[@afocused2010]

Hello, good info in your video! I'm thinking about getting sisterlocks done within a couple weeks. I want that full look and for my sisterlocks to not be too small. Would it be best for me to get them a little bigger or get them the normal size and wait for them to get fuller and/or thicken up?

[@Brittania718]

afocused2010 It's hard for me to answer that without seeing your hair..tag me in a photo or email me [e-mail] I should be able to give you a better response after seeing it ;)

[@untitledspiritcraft398]

If your hair is straight and not thick, can u still get sister locks ? And is it true that sometimes they have to cut ur hair when when you get sister locks to even I your hair out ? That's what I'm worried about and I'm 15

[@Brittania718]

+Danielle King The texture of your hair determines as to whether or not sisterlocks would be best suited for you. You don't have to cut your hair to even it out. That's all personal preference

[@PINKCHOKATE]

Wow my mom name is brittenia.

[@curlinafox8255]

do anyone in richmond do sister locks

[@shahnee14]

Hey Brittania718 thanks for the helpful info, im thinking of getting sisterlocks and wondered if i wanted to wear a wig in the bbeginning stages is it possible and would it interfere with the locking process?

[@Brittania718]

You can totally wear a wig if you want, but you should make sure to protect your hair with a satin scarf or something. you could even braid it down, so this way when you aren't wearing your wig, you'll have a nice braid out ;)
