I KNOW RIGHT? She is my sisterlocks goals!

Chillllle, I would still be working on this 23.61 years later. Wooooow.
This comment made me crack up😂😂😂😂😂
Wow, only 7 - 8 hours?! I have around 420 sisterlocks and when I first began self retightening a year and a half ago it used to take me over 20 hours. Now it only takes me about 10. I imagine I’ll continue to get quicker with time 😌
I hve 246 starter locs and it took me 8 hrs for my first which was yeterday. It's quick to me compared to the 20 hrs it took to just redo my mini twists over a week ago lol.
Yeah the center of my head takes longer. It is so disheartening too. Like in those movies when they are on a trek then they get to the mountains and it’s snowing, then they lose the supplies. They want to give up, and one guy sacrifices himself so the others can make it, then the finally get through and see their destination on the other side. But they are tired and it is slow. Yet they make it tired, broken, but not defeated.
When I tell you your comment genuinely made me laugh out loud 😂 I'm glad I'm not the only one who goes through this emotional roller coaster when doing my hair!
Check for vitamin and iron deficiency!
caramelcocoa234 iron deficiency? I’m sorry I’m confused.
Oonagh72 typically hair that’s not growing as fast in the middle could possibly be an indicator of some type of deficiency. Iron or vitamin deficiency. It could also be your regular growth rate however it’s good to check to rule it out.
caramelcocoa234 ok. Got it. I am iron deficient. Yet it has no effect on my hair. I literally have enough hair for four people. 1 in the front, one in the back, and two in the middle. I didn’t even get shedding after having kids. I know I am too feel bless but man is it a lot of work.
Wow, I have Sisterlocks and I’ve been researching and immersed in Sisterlocks for years now. I’ve never heard of anyone having 1000 Sisterlocks. You are both to be commended. As much as I love my locks I don’t think I can deal with 1000. Good for you all.
My sisterlocks sister haha! I totally understand. I used to think 1000 locs was normal because my mom was my first introduction to sisterlocks. Now I realize 400-600 sisterlocks is more common.
queenbeethatme100 Cool! I’m located in the US and got mine done years ago so it’s always good to hear how other places do things and why.
@@ImaniGoodridge is brakeage not a problem for your mom because yall stick to a schedule?
kia cedillo That and retightening correctly. I.e. ensuring there are no gaps in the locs while retightening.
@@ImaniGoodridge thanks for the info👏👏👏
Your mom is blessed to have a daughter like you, keep up the good work ❤️🇹🇹
Thank you! And you're Trini? So is my dad!
@@ImaniGoodridge Ahhhh big up the whole family 😆🤗
I don't have sister locs. I did braidlocs on mine and my mom's hair. I retighten mine and hers. Takes me about 4 hours to do hers and ALL DAY to do my own. Love these locs though. 2 years in and I'm never going back. Loved your mom's hair. Waist length is amazing.
terri e Bless you for retightening your mother’s hair! I agree. I love my locs and wouldn’t consider going back anytime soon 😊
im so scared for my hair getting this long. its growing so fast, its beyond my control at this point lol. I maintain them myself and dont have a mom or sister to help lol so girl im on my own. my husband is trying to learn and I think its cute BUT hes a perfectionist (way worse than me) so it would take him FOREVER just to do one loc because he would want it perfect. I am not ready. You, your mom and your sisters' hair is gorgeous!
How goes it with the self-retightening years later? I hope very well! I'm about to start so I'm both excited and nervous. Your husband attempting to learn is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a while 🥰. Wishing you both continued success, growth,
joyful togetherness. 🙌🏿💙💛💜❤💚🖤💃🏿🤩
I have 823 locs so now I know my 6 to 7 hour retightenings are about right
trayA23 it takes me 6-8 hrs to do 350 🙂
Jeez
Wow you are fast! I have close to 400 micro locs and by the time I finish, it's time to retighten the first section again.
Just when I thought my sisterlocs were getting on my nerves. It takes a little over one hour to retighten my whole head by my stylist. One hour each section? No thank you! It’s pretty and no thank you! ❤️ I have waaaaaaaay less than 1000 locs thank god! ❤️
LOL I completely understand. Some days I wish I had less because I self retighten. Really depends on the person’s lifestyle and preference ❤️
Imani Goodridge That’s so true Goddess. I would lose my mind I think. 😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️
525 locs in 3.5 hours wow! That's impressive! I have about 300 (started off with more but have combined some) and it takes me about 6 hours to do my whole head lol!
Rheanne D Thank you! And speed comes with time. I’ve been at this for 7 (long) years lol 💕
whewww... and I’m here complaining abt 98 locs 😩
😆😆😆
Me with my 56 lol
Yoo Stace SAME. My are like noodles
I complain about my 42
@@petramckenzie4744 girrrrrl
I’d still be tightening right now😂😂
LOL slow and steady wins the race!
That is so BEAUTIFUL 😍 IVE NEVER SEEN LOCS THAT SMALL AND IVE BEEN A PRIVATE STYLIST FOR 20 YEARS
Your mom hair is beautiful. And that’s so nice that you can style your mom hair for her .
Thought about getting sister locs once. I had 30 inch 4c natural hair at the time. The install time and cost had me running for the hills! Much respect to you! You AND your mother are exponentially better human beings than I could ever aspire to be.
Microlocs look like sisterlocs but cost way less to establish. I opted to do my own microlocs because the price of sisterlocs was also too much for me. It’s been 6 years and I absolutely love my hair. This is the r most low maintenance hairstyle for my thick, 4c hair.
I've never heard of sister locks until a few days ago I saw a picture and I thought it looked beautiful. My hair is permed and quite long but I use it in a weave for the last 12-13 years. i love weaving for it's versatility and protection, when I use my own hair I kinda destroy it in a short period of time. Have been wondering and researching sister locks but your video made me give up.
What a patience and precision you have! It looks really beautiful but it will be for next life, because on this one I would cut off my hair after 8 hours every 4 weeks in a saloon.
Yesterday it was the day of redoing my weave. Took 6 hours to take it down, detangle, perm, hydrate, dry, re-braid and sew in, and finally style. And I was dead tired, just wanted to run back home. And I only do it every 2,5 months. Girls, you are really strong, equilibrated and centered. God bless you.
You sound like such a nice person! Your mom raised you well😊.
You’ve earned even more of my respect. I was already in awe of you self-retightening but you’re also doing your mom’s!! Lemme buy that crochet and start self-retightening too! Lol
Meli LOL thank you so much! Join the self retightening Goodie gang 😂💕
Your dedication to your mother is beautiful 😍
Beautiful job 🙌🏽💯🥰
Thank you :)
Mom’s hair is Beautiful ❤️
I love this video, I have about 700+ locs and wanting to do self retightening. My hair is the same length as yours and I’m sure it’s going to take time, but I’m willing to do it even if it takes me a weekend to do it. It has been a bit much getting it done every 6 weeks. Especially during the pandemic. My retwist of course is 1/2 the amount it is when I got it done. And quite honestly that is $$ i can save if i learn to do it myself.
Omg your moms hair is life itself. Just beautiful.
Your Moms hair is beautiful and looks so healthy! I enjoy watching the interlocking being done.
Your mom is fortunate to have you! Thank you for sharing your tips.
I really want sister locks but I don't have the patience.
Sisterlocks are great but this can definitely seem like a downside to them. If you really like sisterlocks over other forms of locs, perhaps consider getting fewer locs (300+) to cut down on maintenance time :)
I have Sisterlocks and I spend less time in the Hair Salon than when I was I getting my hair permed. I also spend less time maintaining because they are easy maintenance. Love them and wish I had them installed sooner.
BEAUTIFUL RETIE.......AND I LOVE HOW YOU LOVE AND. RESPECT YOUR MOTHER!!!
Linda Carswell Thank you! ♥️
Her locs are so pretty 😍
Thank you for uploading and sharing more tips! Shame when people complain about how long it takes to retighten and they haven't did any maintenance in 4-5 months. Well duh ⚰
TechBizShea Thank you!!!!! They also complain about how long it took me to do my mom’s hair like they’re doing it! I doubt they have 1000+ locs. If you don’t want as much maintenance time, get less sisterlocks or find another style that suits you better. DUH! I swear some people love being purposefully obtuse 🤦🏾♀️😂
TRUEEEEE!!!!! My hair’s always been thick, even unruly in the middle.
Sisterlocks are beautiful..but the always look a lil "scalpy" to me..
LickWit Gold thanks for sharing that
@@beewit2es1 thnx for replying? 💁🏾
Your sister locks are gorgeous!
LickWit Gold depends on the person’s hair.
@@donice1973 dont know if ur being facetious...but i dont have sister locks BECAUSE of my opinion that i shared. But my locs ARE beautiful! Best decision i ever made!
Your mother's hair is so beautiful, thanks for tips!!!
I absolutely love your Mom's hair. So beautiful. I would love my hair to look like that, wow.
Your mother is so lucky to have caring beautiful daughters, such a beautiful job. God Bless♥️♥️
Watching this was so therapeutic 💕💕💕💕
It really is, most videos I would of fast forward ⏩
That’s a lot of hair!😳 BEAUTIFUL
Your mother's hair is gorgeous!!!
I'm a loose natural. Considered getting locs, but I still love my loose hair too much. I used to install two strand twists, but my fingers began cramping after a few years so I gave that up. 1,000 locs would have killed me!!!
Omg just Gorgeous, lucky to have your assistant
Imani you did an awesome job on your mom's hair
Absolutely MAGNIFICENT ❤
Dang 1 hour for each 6 parts. Wow but, I am in love with them
So therapeutic. Cant wait for my next sesh
sis, I'm on week 2 of my first retie...send help and extra hands pls lol
miniimufin Lol you’ve got this! The first time you ever finish your hair on your own, you feel amazing ♥️
Dont worry I wanted to give up after my first time as it took so long and I had arm ache and neck ache. A few years later it's much quicker and less painful. I separate my Iocs into 4 sections then separate each quarter into 4 smaller bunches and just take my time over about 3 days to do a few sections until it's done. I also do it in columns so i keep my grid but I do have around 4 double headed dragons!!! You can do it!
Your sisterlocks are simply beautiful. I have had mines for 8 yrs now.
Your hair is GORGEOUS
Put my 30 hour retightenings to shame 😩😭😭
Me too. Lol
Haha you'll get faster as you continue practicing. I've been at this for 7 years 😭
@@hmcook1974 LOL practice makes faster because perfect doesn't exist!
@@ImaniGoodridge I love that!
30!? I’m just shy of a week 🥴
Girl did you say 1000 Locs bruh 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
HAHA trust me when I say you think you hit the floor hearing the number? Imagine my hands and back doing this on a regular basis! 😭
That’s what I said?!! 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ Thats No no no no and hell nooooooooooo for me Bob.❤️
I couldn't, the mere sound of so many traumatized me lol
@@ImaniGoodridge I was like "a THOUSAND"???? LOL but then I realized that's it's no different than getting your hair braided every two months or a weave (time wise) . Actually, it's LESS time for the retightening than for braids because it takes hours to GET the braids, but also many hours REMOVING the braids to even wash the hair to go sit for another 6 to 8 hours to get it re-braided. I'm doing so much research because I want tiny micro locs (two strand twist starter locs) with a quarter of the hair not twisted so it curls
Ruthie Bella well, I have very thick and semi long hair. My install is $2500.
Imani, little sister... You are good. There is no way I'd get "sista locs". It's in quotes because I have 100 regular locs and re-twisting is not something I look forward to. So, I'm impressed with your focus and commitment to your hair and your Mom's. Both of you have beautiful sister locs. If I had to re-tighten you guys hair, I'd run screaming into the night. My goodness. Blessings, Sis.
iluvmyboba Thank you so much! And I love all locs. Do what works for you, you know? 😊
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
Her locs are so beautiful and healthy 😍😍
Oh my! I love your Mom’s hair and how to take such care of it. 💕🙏🏽✌️
I have traditional locks and you just made me want to convert to sisterlocks lol Beautiful!!!
And I am complaining about 485! 😳
Sis 400 something over here too lol 😂
😂♥️
Im complaining for 350 microlocs.
OMG, her hair is gorgeous, yours too!!🥰
tlbourrage Thank you! 😊
Thank you for the heads up! With this video, it really will help me get ready to do my own retightenings. My hair is almost you Moms length, and I have MS. I took the class back in 2008, and never did anything with it. Always had other locticians do my hair. Now I'm gonna attempt doing my own since this virus. Being high risk, I don't want to take the chance of contracting the disease. Hope I can do this, Thanks again for your video, but first I'm gonna order that tool, I got that white plastic one they so called gave us in class. This one looks easier to use. I just subscribed so look for some questions from me. Have a good day. 👋🏾
Wow Great Job and her hair is Amazing!💝
What are you talking about that grid is on point!!!!!
this is so satisfying to watch
So pretty I’m so in love with the sister twist waiting to see about getting my hair done.
Actually, I like the fact that it doesnt have a grid. Why does everyone think.that you should have a grid? You've got natural hair with an unnatural grid pattern on your scalp. Grids may make it easier for some to work with, but you didn't seem to have a problem. Nice work!
raineynight Couldn’t agree more. Thank you! 😊
Your moms hair is beautiful
Sister loc goals🙌🏾🔥
BEAUTIFUL CROWN
Wow!! Beautiful
You did a great job!!
SISTERLOCKER TV Thank you!
Thank you for making this video.
Jeniece Thanks for watching!
CAME ACROSS YOUR VLOG. LOVE YOUR MOM SISTERLOC
Her locs are gorgeous
I’m discouraged and encouraged at the same time 😩😩 these are beautiful but whew
You're a lovely daughter to your mother 💕. I hope my daughters would be willing to help me with my locs after I get them installed.
I enjoyed watching. Your Mom's hair is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Your moms loc are amazing
omg Her hair is beautiful
She says thank you! :)
INCREDIBLE!
Awesome job and they are so beautiful! I'll be self retightening mine since my loctician is on maternity leave. I didn't know how to start with separating my hair so thanks for the idea of sectioning off in bundles..
Dayanah Ma'ahzhnah Yasharahla Thank you! I’m so glad this video was helpful. Good luck with your retightenings; you’re gong to do great!
@@ImaniGoodridge just in case I accidentally join two locks, I bought those tiny scissors you told me about so thank you for that as well❤
Gorgeous hair and you did a awesome retightening.
Well done mummy hair looks great 👌🏾
Beautiful hair! I would love to see a before picture! Very nice🥰
This made me happy I only have 500
I don't even have sister locks, I have my own made up locks lolol...i just love to see you work ...its therapy lol
Yr mums a trooper 😇
Great job 👍🏿
Thank you :)
I have 20 freeform locs ,I can’t relate to this and not sure why I am watching it.
Her crown is beautiful. Wish I could afford those
Darlene Jordan get micro Locs it’s less than half the price. Your paying for the grid and name when you pay for Sisterlocs when someone can do pretty much the same with micro Locs. That’s what I did 4 years ago and people always think their sisterlocs and I correct them and tell them they are micro Locs or just Locs.
@@NaiaBlu1 what's the difference ?
jo ma there is really no difference as in the style, but the grid of Sisterlocs is pattened so she attempts to sue the installer when they call them sisterlocs and someone who wasn’t a certified trained Sisterloc consultant didn’t do them and charge you 1000 plus depending on inches. I was quoted $1700 for sisterlocs because of my 14” length, I went to someone else and got micro Locs for $350 and I do not have the Sisterloc grid but my grid is a very nice grid where people with sisterlocs thought they were until I told them no. Sometimes I’ve also noticed it’s almost like a cult when they attack you in the fb groups if you call your hair sisterlocs even though this style of Locs and the grid has been practiced for centuries it just wasn’t pattened. So the founder copied that and pattened it and wants to charge outrageous prices when you can get the exact same thing and just not call is sisterlocs for 1/4 of the price and it be microlocs.
@@NaiaBlu1 ooooh so basically the main difference is the grid? Wow... Thanks for the info !
jo ma yes but you can still have sisterlocs but they won’t be called sisterlocs if you didn’t have a certified Sisterloc consultant do them. They will say they are microlocs even though two women can sit right next to each other with the same grid. 1 woman paid $1000 plus and 1 woman paid $350 with the same result. Just remember that
Your mother's hair is beautiful!! What do you guys do to prevent/ reduce lint? I didn't see much or any for that matter in her hair!
Wear a bonnet, wear no sweaters or anything linty on your head.
I'm in awe...wow.. beautiful!!!
I have between 600 - 700 and it takes 2 people 4-5 hours and it’s expensive. I need to learn how to retighten my hair
SO much work; but wow, so Beautiful!
Beautiful!!
This was beautiful 😍
Oh my God, game changer! Thank you Sis
N. Jean Happy to help! 😊
Gorgeous sister locs! I miss mine
It’s amazing u did a great job
Omgah, beautiful!
Thank you. I am just deciding to start retightening my hair myself.
Fatimah Rabah Good luck with self retightening. Remember to go slowly to avoid mistake. Overtime you’ll get faster! 😊💕
Omg who does your hair?.. you have the best ones I seen so far
New tips forwhen I retighten my Dad'socks!! Thanks
So happy you found these tips helpful! Let me know how it goes retightening your father's locs next time! :)
Wow!!! Beautiful!!!🧡🧡🧡
appreciate this...Im taking down traditional locs from my young daughter hair to do these. I must admit I did not begin from the nape are with the grid pattern. I'm trying to make the other areas with this pattern so that it will help with the process in the future
