DISCLAIMER: I don't recommend deep conditioning your locs until they're mature!!!! If your locs aren't fully loced, please don't deep condition. It'll slow the locing process of your beautiful locs, unraveling them and causing potential slippage; that would cost you so much money and time to resolve!! I am only able to do this because my sisterlocks are mature (I have had mine for 10 years). ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much for this disclaimer. I've had mine in going on 2years, and I wasn't whether or not to do the deep conditioning, because I noticed that my locs and scalp seem dry. I guess wait just a bit more then. And you locs looks gorgeous.
Right on time! I was just thinking to condition my locs for the first time since I've had them. My hair was extremely dry before, but now my hair is super soft. I experienced no slippage or build up. I can see myself doing this once a month or so. I wash my hair 1-2 times per week with just shampoo, following up with olive oil. So I don't use other products, but the regular shampoos dried out my hair after nearly 4 years of no products nor conditioner.
Jennifer I’m similar! I wash my hair about 1-2 a week depending on how active I am. I don’t use a lot of shampoo as it is drying. But I immediately put my favorite oils in my scalp and I’m moisturized for the week ahead!
A cheap alternative is to use the Herbal Essence hello hydration conditioner or the Shea moisture Superfruit Conditioner mask and let them sit for at least 20 minutes to 45 minutes. Instant softness and restoration.
Yes the micro fiber towels are the best, my husband is an auto detsiler and we get loads of them, and I'm thinking about transitioning into the locs club.
I have stayed away from creamy conditioners (which were my favorite) because I heard it causes buildup. I like your method; my locs have been super dry lately, I'm gonna give this a try. Thanks!
Kaylah Aries Glad you liked it! And I think it would be. Sisterlocks truly don’t need a lot of product to be nice and healthy. So if you were going to do a hot oil treatment, don’t put more oil on your scalp for at least a week. Similar to the deep conditioning treatment, I wouldn’t recommend doing a hot oil treatment more than once a month 😊
I've been deep conditioning my hair bi-annually for about 6 years now. I've never experienced build up. If you're experiencing build up, 1) switch your product. Or the more likely option 2) you're not washing the product out of your hair completely.
I suggest waiting until your hair is fully loced/mature. For best advice and good measure, always as your consultant since they are the person most familiar with your hair :)
Whittney Wiley Thank you! And honestly, no I don’t experience that problem. My inkling would be that if someone is experiencing build up from conditioner is that they are using too much product or not fully washing it out. Also, potentially try a different product that does adhere to the locs!

Thank you for sharing as softer locs is always my goal! 🥰
2:35 love the sound effect the hair makes when it sucks up all the moisture 😂

Join the sisterlocks family if/when you're ready. We'd love to have you :)
Yes deep conditioner really helps with dryness of locs I have 13 month old microlocs I also deep condition
Hi. Just wanted to let you know that I saw your image being used on Temu to sell faux microlocs.
I normally don't watch videos if there is a lot of talking but yours was informative and your voice is calming. Thank you I'm going to try it
Thank you so much! Glad you were able to find my tutorial helpful :)
That conditioning cream is the truth. Thats what I use for my daughter and myself.
My god your hair is gorgeous
As long as your locs are fully loced, I think you should be ok!
Thank you, Imani I really enjoyed the video! You took your time you were so clear and concise.
I was wondering if you could deep condition sisterlocks!! Thanks!!
I have stayed away from creamy conditioners (which were my favorite) because I heard it causes buildup. I like your method; my locs have been super dry lately, I'm gonna give this a try. Thanks!
That's what I was also wondering . What about build up ?
@@whatssonessa116 The deep conditioning is not often. And she has a ACV rinse she does I believe twice a year if there is some build up.
I wonder if I can use the cholesterol conditioner on my traditional thicker locs
When are Locs considered mature? I’ve had mine for about 15 months and they’re always so dry
I think that’s mature enough depending on your texture
Very interesting I have sister locks Minds is not even 2 months old I guess I have to wait a little longer to condition my locksyour lock look lovely.
Linda Jones Thank you! I hope you’re enjoying your sisterlocks journey so far ☺️
You have to wait until your locks are completely locked, at least a year...
Will you be posting a self reti video?? I’m intrigued! Your hair is beautiful!
lovedawnlynn Thank you! And I’m thinking about. Maybe one day 😊
Thanks for this video. Do you think a hot oil treatment along with deep conditioning would be too much?
Kaylah Aries Glad you liked it! And I think it would be. Sisterlocks truly don’t need a lot of product to be nice and healthy. So if you were going to do a hot oil treatment, don’t put more oil on your scalp for at least a week.

@@ImaniGoodridge thank you!
your shirt in the thumbnail is really cute !
Thank you! Can’t remember where I got it from though 🥺
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
Hey, a year later was wondering do you still recommend deep conditioning your locs ? Did you get build up ?
I've been deep conditioning my hair bi-annually for about 6 years now. I've never experienced build up. If you're experiencing build up, 1) switch your product. Or the more likely option 2) you're not washing the product out of your hair completely.
@@ImaniGoodridge hi! Can I do hair masks when I have sisterlocks?
Hello Imani,
If you don't have a dryer, how long should you keep the deep conditioner in your hair?
Samilia A Hi! I’d recommend leaving it in for about 45 mins to an hour!
What about a Cotton tshirt?
I got a question, I don't have a dryer and how long can you keep the deep conditioner in your locs before washing it?
Before I even watch, this morning I listed steps for a deep conditioning weekend. Great minds :)
Haha that’s crazy! I hope you enjoy deep conditioning this weekend 😊
@@ImaniGoodridge I did and sat under my steamer I bought a while ago (smh). First time DCg since my 7/2017 install. My locs loved it!
CarrieToo I’m so glad!! Enjoy your hair 😊
Imani Goodridge do you interlock or retwist ? Your Locs are beautiful!
Aquarius 1989 I use the sisterlocks interlocking method!
Bruhhhh 2:35 😂
Great video!
When can I start using creamy conditioner? I'm in the teenage stage 2 yrs. locked.

Nice video! Do you not find you have trouble with build up when using conditioner in your locs?
Whittney Wiley Thank you! And honestly, no I don’t experience that problem. My inkling would be that if someone is experiencing build up from conditioner is that they are using too much product or not fully washing it out. Also, potentially try a different product that does adhere to the locs!
Do you use bentonite clay?
I don't!
do you ever have the dandruff build up?
I do! If I moisturize and wash my hair as needed, it doesn't build up in my locs.
Definitely helpful
Do you deep conditioner before or after a retightens?
Ad love to know
How many locs do you have?
