ITS MY LOCIVERSARY

GM MY SISTERS TODAY MARKS MY 4th WEEK LOCIVERSARY....YAY ALL SMILES THIS MORNING :)))))

Washing

A few precautions should be taken while washing sisterlocks. They are fragile, so being too rough with your locks may result in breakage, frizzing or excessive loosening. Before you wash, braid all of your locks into 3-5 different large braids to keep them secure. Shampoo the individual large braids with a squeezing motion to lather shampoo rather than a massaging motion that will cause frizz. Rinse your hair the same way. If possible it is best to limit washing your hair to only a couple of times a week. This will allow your hair to produce its natural oils, keeping your locks tighter for longer.

Sleeping

Wearing a hair cover will greatly increase the life span of your sisterlocks. Hair covers reduce friction between your hair and your pillow while you sleep, protecting your hair from extreme frizz. It's best to use satin hair socks sold specifically for sisterlocks and dreadlocks. It resembles a large sock that easily fits over your hair, acting as protection.

Sisterlocks Maintenance

Once you have made the investment in getting Sisterlocks you will want to protect your
investment. Sisterlocks are LOW maintenance, not NO maintenance. It is very important to
the development of your newly formed Sisterlocks to get regular re-tightenings. On
average every 4 - 6 weeks is recommended in the beginning. Your hair texture, rate of growth
and the care you give your new Sisterlocks will determine when that maintenance schedule
can be extended to every 6 - 8 weeks. Re-tightening should only take 3-4 hours on average.
This may vary depending on the amount of new growth and size of your locks.
