Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Sisterlocs.

Sisterlocs are a trademarked micro-loc system using a specialized tool and grid pattern to create smaller, uniform locs. Unlike some methods, they prioritize precise installation, natural appearance, styling flexibility, and scalp health, requiring trained technicians for consistent results.

Installation time varies with hair length, density, and desired size but typically ranges from four to eight hours. A free consultation will give a precise estimate and preparation guidelines so we can schedule appropriately and ensure meticulous, comfortable installation.

When installed by certified technicians using proper tension and parting, Sisterlocs minimize breakage risk. The technique emphasizes scalp health and gentle handling, but follow recommended maintenance and avoid excessive manipulation to preserve hair integrity and encourage healthy loc maturation.
