Why You Should Not Get Sister Locs!

While sister locs are incredibly popular, they are not for everyone. We are going to go through the top reasons why you should not get Sister Locs.

1. Sisterlocks are the most expensive form of locs and the initial install can cost upwards of a thousand dollars.
   
   
2. Re-ties will be a monthly expense that you have to factor in, and the cost of re-ties will go up over time.
   
   
3. You should not get sisterlocks if you have scalp issues, such as dandruff or flaking. Sisterlocks can exacerbate these issues.If you are going to tackle these issues, we recommend a loc gel.
   
   
4. You should not get sisterlocks if you are not a patient person. The install can take up to 40 hours, and re-ties can take up to 6 hours. You will have to follow a strict re-tie schedule, and if you do not, your locks will not look good.
   
   
5. You should not get sisterlocks if you are a product junkie. You cannot put products in your sisterlocks, and you will have to be okay with the natural state of your hair. You cannot color your sisterlocks until they are fully locked, and that even then, coloring your sisterlocks will be detrimental to your locs.
   
   
6. You should not get sisterlocks if you love to change your hairstyle. You cannot change your hairstyle with sisterlocks, and you will have to be okay with the same hairstyle for years.
   
   
7. You should not get sisterlocks if you cannot handle microaggressions. People will make you feel unattractive because of your sisterlocks, and you will have to be confident in how you look.
   
   
8. You should not get sisterlocks if you have a preconceived notion of how you want your locks to look. You will not know what your sisterlocks will look like until they are fully locked, and that you will have to be open to your journey.
