Sisterlocks (tm) is a method that has been developed for use on natural or relaxed hair. This is a trademarked method and lawfully, should only be attempted by a trained/certified consultant.

Sisterlocks can be very small in diameter and are therefore more pliable and flexible than most other lock styles.  Therefore, they can be styled in the same manner as straight hair allowing for greater overall versatility.

Unlike traditional lock styles, Sisterlocks have to be maintained professionally, thus, Sisterlocks (tm) can be expensive in comparison to at-home lock starter techniques.  How expensive is generally determined by the retightening schedule which is established by your Certified Sisterlocks Consultant.  Fortunately, as your Sisterlocks (tm) mature, your retightening schedule is lengthened.

If you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can learn how to retighten Sisterlocks on your own via formalized training.  Sisterlocks Headquarters offers certification classes and there you will be taught everything you need to know in order to maintain the style at home.

You can obtain more information on Sisterlocks or find a list of Certified Consultants in your area by visiting the Official Site maintained by the technique inventor, Dr. Cornwell.
