Sisterlocks™ are small, uniform locks installed using a special tool, parting, and pattern system. When properly maintained, the result is a neat, manicured, and easily styled mane of locked hair. Locks4Life^® specializes in Sisterlocks™ but also does other locking methods based on location.

Sisterlocks™ are uniform locks that allow you to style and manage your hair without relaxers, gels, or waxes like those used in traditional hair locking methods. Sisterlocks™ can be styled, curled, wet set, braided, Bantu knotted or styled in a ponytail. Practically any style that you can do with straightened hair can be done with Sisterlocks™—without the damage and breakage. It is a gentle technique that does not damage your hair.

Anyone with a curly/wavy/kinky hair texture can get Sisterlocks™. They can be installed on women, men, and children.

Sisterlocks™ can be started with approximately 2 inches of natural unprocessed hair. Where shorter hair can be caught in a locking pattern, 1 1/2 inches will ensure the first stages of locking will be easier to manage during your home care. Having a consultation will give you a definite answer.

No—that is one of the beautiful things about Sisterlocks™! Sisterlocks™ allow you to transition from relaxed hair to natural locks in a gentle way. As long as you have 2 inches of natural hair near the roots, you can begin your journey. As your hair grows and your locks settle in, the relaxed ends can be trimmed away a little at a time.

Essentially, Yes. While it is technically possible to remove Sisterlocks™ during the first 6 months before the hair truly “Locks,” this process is arduous. Take all the time you need to make sure of your decision to lock your hair.
