Can I go swimming with sisterlocks?
Yes, you can still enjoy swimming with sisterlocks! Just be sure to apply a waterproof protective coating before getting your hair wet to prevent fuzzing and frizzing.
How often do you need to get retwists?
Most locticians recommend getting retwists every 4-6 weeks as your new sisterlocks mature. Retwisting helps encourage the budding process. After the locks fully set, you may be able to go longer between appointments.
Do I have to get sisterlocks maintained at a salon?
While initial installation requires professional sisterlock training, you can learn to do your own maintenance retwists at home between salon visits. This will help cut down on the cost over time.
Can I still straighten or curl sisterlocks?
Yes! You have options to add heat styling into your routine in moderation. Use a heat protectant and keep lower heat settings to prevent damage to the locks.
Do I have to cut my relaxed/colored hair before sisterlocks?
For the healthiest locks possible, removing previously chemically treated hair is best. But it’s not always required - chat with your consultant about your specific hair history to make a plan.
