Q. Do I have to cut my perm off to start

Locs/Sisterlocks™?

A. If Locs is your chosen style, YES you would have to cut

off all the permed ends in order to create uniform locs.

If Sisterlocks™ is your chosen style, NO you

do not have to cut off the permed ends as long as you

have an inch and a half or two inches of NEW growth,

you can keep your perm and get Sisterlocks™.

Q. My hair is only 2 inches long, is it long

enough to get Sisterlocks™?

A. Yes! your hair would only need to be an

inch and a half to two inches long in order

to create Sisterlocks™.

Q. How long does it take to put

Sisterlocks™ in?

A. The initial locking process takes about

two thirds as long as getting extensions of

comparable size. For medium length

hair, this means about seven to ten hours

depending on the density of your hair and the size

of your head. The beauty of Sisterlocks™

is that tightening them as your hair

grows out is extremely simple, since there

are no extensions to remove or re-set.

Q. Will Sisterlocks™ cause my hair to

break or thin?

A. Just the opposite! Sisterlocks™ is a gentle

technique that requires no chemicals, no excessive

tightening, and causes no damaging abrasion to

the hair or scalp. You will find that with regular

care, your locks will grow and grow,

and your styling options will increase.

Q. I have very tight and kinky hair,

can I wear Sisterlocks™?

A. Yes! absolutely...your hair type is

perfect for Sisterlocks™. In fact, the coarse thick,

'nappy' hair is best for Sisterlocks™.

Your natural abundant texture adds body and

makes styling easier.

Q. Can I get Sisterlocks™ if

I have relaxed/perm hair?

A. Yes, though the transition will take more time,

there are techniques that can make the transition

easier. Your styling options will increase as your

natural texture grows out.

Q. My hair is a 'fine' texture, can I get

Locs/Sisterlocks™?

A. Yes to both hairstyles.

Q. What if I don't like the tiny size of the

Sisterlocks™, can I get them bigger?

A. Typically Sisterlocks™ have an average size

pattern that is put in the hair, if the locks are too big

the hair can not get around the 'special tool'

that is used to create Sisterlocks™...

If you prefer the larger size locs, it is recommended

that you get 'traditional' locs put in.

Q. Can I put grease, gel or beeswax on

my Sisterlocks™?

A. It is not recommended that those products be used on

your Sisterlocks™. There are specially formulated

products created just for Sisterlocks.™

Q. Can Sisterlocks™ be taken out?

A. Yes, though the procedure is very tedious. Once you

consider Sisterlocks™, you would look at it as being

permanent. Once you discover the range of freedom

you have with Sisterlocks™, you won't want to go

back! Finally there is a way of celebrating the

natural beauty of our hair with Sisterlocks™.

Q. I have Alopecia Areata, can I wear

Sisterlocks™?

A. It is recommended to check with your doctor first before

putting Sisterlocks™ in. Depending on the severity

of your case, Sisterlocks™ can actually help.

There is no stress on the hair or scalp and there

are various styling options you can wear to fill in

the 'blank' spots.

Q. Can I do the locks myself?

A. This is not advised. Not all hair types require the same

locking technique. To ensure that your locks are put in

properly and that you will experience lasting beauty

with your locks, it is highly recommended that you

get a trained professional Sisterlocks™ Consultant to

do the honors.

Q. Can't I just get my Sisterlocks™, or do I

need a Consultation?

A. Yes, you need a consultation before you get the

Sisterlocks™. Call or write to www.sisterlocks.com

to find a consultant in your area to set up a consultation.

Q. How much does Sisterlocks™ cost?

A. All Sisterlocks™ Consultants are

'Independent Consultants'--so the investment varies

from person to person. Call or write

www.sisterlocks.com and find out what a fair

price should be. If you find that someone's price

is too expensive, the Sisterlocks™ home office can

probably recommend someone else that will meet

your needs.
