Joy, I am so happy that I found your page! You are so sweet, honest and inspiring. I’m in the consultation phase, but I am definitely ready to join the journey!
Hey LaShawnda! I'm glad you found my page too and thank you for your kind words! Having Sisterlocks is really a life changing experience and they really only get better with time. I've been vlogging my Sisterlocks on this TH-cam channel ever since my installation. All of my Sisterlocks videos are in my Sisterlocks Playlist and I hope they will be helpful for you as you make your initial decisions. Take care.
Thanks for this. I’m going for my initial consultation for Sisterlocks on Friday. I’m excited but also apprehensive because I have short natural hair right now. I’m growing out a short fade cut from last summer. I keep watching your videos to give me inspiration since your hair started off about my current length. I appreciate you. Be blessed sis 💜
Hi and thank you! I hope your consultation went well and I'm very glad that my videos are an inspiration to you! Your hair will grow before you know it 😊
I appreciate your transparency. I am considering locs and worry about the “wait” as the locs mature. I don’t want to look in the mirror and not feel beautiful or think “what have you done”. Thank you
❤️. Yes it's definitely an adjustment. I wore weaves for many years and I got used to a lot of immediate gratification with my hairstyles. Locs are the opposite of that. You have to have a lot of patience but the good thing is that they only get better and better over time. Thanks for your comment. ✨
I love your locs, i get my install in February 2022, and I have had gray since high school, i have colored my hair many times, it continues to come through, i have vowed at this point to let it do what its going to do, im just going to embrace the gray hair because its me I want to see what its going to look like fully grayed out. Your hair is gorgeous !
Congratulations on your upcoming install! Your story is interesting. I have never colored my hair with the attempt of coloring my gray, but I can imagine that happening to me too. The gray strands become more prominent as my hair grows and now it appears as though I have about 12 locs grouped together in my scalp area that will all have gray locs. Thanks for your comment as well as your compliment!
Love your honesty in this video and your hair looks great-thank you. I feel you on the greys and just trying to be patient with the process. I am just about 2 months locked and my grey hair is just unruly can’t wait to color it!! I love my SL but it is a big adjustment that I am still trying to get used to.
Love your hair... Henna will work by strengthening and covering your grey hair better than any color will they have various shades of Henna that you can try and you do henna every 4 weeks. Yet mine has lasted at least 6 weeks before I see grays return so everytime I get a retightening about seven to eight weeks I may use henna.
My Sisterlocks, like yours, has grown really fast. I am a #newsubscriber who is also documenting my journey on TH-cam. I always colored my hair to cover my gray, however after 2 years with Sisterlocks, I have not colored the gray. I enjoyed the video.
Hi Jean! Part of me also wonders if I will eventually make peace with the grey hair and leave it be. Thank you for sharing and thanks for your comment. Take care.
Thanks for being so honest. I recall having similar feelings. I’m sure that you are through that battle. I’m over it now given I’ve been wear my hair short for a minute. I’m now contemplating getting locs.., maybe sister locs.
Hey! It's no problem at all. I wanted to be honest because I knew I couldn't be the only one feeling that way. I have had a lot of growth since then and I don't have the same thoughts, but they surely felt overwhelming in my 3rd month. That's good that you are wearing your hair short so that you will be used to short hair if you decide to loc your hair. Sisterlocks can be a great option, especially if you want to have someone else take care of the retightenings.
Your locs are beautiful! The length and the grey looks good in your locs. My grey is at all in the front and my edges which I hate. But I had already embraced my grey with my natural.
OMG you really helped me today I was feeling the same way saying to maybe this was not for me 5 1/2 months in going for retightening this week, thank you
I'm so glad this video helped you Helen. You may have a lot of ups and downs in the first year of your loc journey. But just hang in there because it only gets better 😊
I thank you for this video because my locs are the same as yours when you started out and I'm like two months in my journey. And the way you were feeling is me now!!! So I'm hoping to get to where you are now because your hair look nice and to get out of my feelings. Thank you again 💓
I'm glad the video helped you! Yes it is definitely an adjustment at first. I'm told that if you can stick it out the first couple of years, it gets easier from there. And feelings really do go up and down. You can be frustrated with your look one day, and feel grateful and excited about your new hair journey the next day. Take care and thank you for your comment.
Thanks for sharing. I had my first consultation yesterday. My hair is your texture and length(6 in). I was amped until she put in the text locs. Not what I expected. I'm debating now so I needed this encouragement.
How long is your hair? Have you thought of maybe waiting until your hair is a little longer to get them done? My hair sticks out a lot too. I think that's common when they are shorter.
I totally understand how you feel. In a perfect world I would have waited until I had more hair, but I didn't want to waste anymore time. Told myself that I'd just have to adjust to it being short for a while. Also, some people wear wigs in the beginning part of their journey until it grows out. My head is too big for wigs 😂 but that seems like a good solution too.
I want to tell you that ever since I got sisterlocks I’ve started going grey as well!!!! I don’t know what kind of sorcery sisterlocks method got going on, but you’re the second person that I’ve come across who is going grey quicker 😂
That's too funny! I know for me, I'd been wearing weaves for so many years that I really lost touch of what my hair is really like. Even though I have locs, I still feel like I'm rediscovering my hair.
Your hair looks great! I definitely see the growth! That is exciting! I am two weeks in and I am waiting for some growth as well. I also have hair that is shorter in the front so I really have just been flat twisting and pinning my hair up for the time being. It is definitely an adjustment. I can't wait until my first wash and retightening!
Hi Kimberly, I don't know of anyone in that area, but you can go to the official Sisterlocks website to search for a consultant in your area. I also recommend checking to see if they have a portfolio on social media so you can make sure you like their work. Good luck!
Sooo I’m new to this journey, I went for my consultation today and I was quoted $1600 for my locs. She’s qualified and on SL website . My hair is 3.5 inches with high density. It’s 4c type hair. Is this the right amount to pay for SLs ? I’m in Concord California
Hi Mariam. The price can depend on a lot of factors including your area, loctician's experience level, and the number of sisterlock locticians nearby. I'd suggest asking a couple of other locticians near you for pricing. I'm sure probably a couple will not mind giving you a basic price quote without having to go on a consultation. When I was searching, several locticians told me that they have a minimum amount of inches that they prefer to work with, due to really short locks being more prone to slippage and a little more difficult to establish, from what I was told. I wonder if that could have factored into your price quote. That's another thing to think about.

Thank you! We feel exactly the same way. I guess we will be hanging in there together as we both continue to adjust. Thank you for sharing.

Hi! What brand of henna do you use?
I use henna also on my hair. It’s been great 👍🏽

@@JoyMorrisBeauty it is not impossible to accept the grays. It took a while for me.💕
I could imagine myself doing it eventually. Part of me is afraid of a color process because I really couldn't get it to work as a loose natural.
Your hair is beautiful. I see those speks of grey. I’m getting hella grey. Starting graying in my late 20’s.
Thank you! That's a funny coincidence. I only know of a few other younger people who started going grey early.
Yes. But I will wait and enjoy the process. No worries no regrets. Ty for your encouragement
You're welcome!

Thank you Shantell! I'm glad you were able to embrace your grey hair.
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm getting sister locs in 2 weeks so following your journey has been a blessing.

Hi Joy your Sisterlocs are absolutely beautiful 🥰. Your face is so pretty 😍 with your Locs. Your Sisterlocs are flourishing so nicely.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. 😊
I'm at 10 weeks and I'm still struggling 😩. But I'm patient with the process
Oh no! What's going on?
Still scalpy from a retie two days ago.
That's frustrating. I'm sure it will thicken right back up. Do you let you locs get steam in the shower?
Not really . But I was wetting them with the spray bottle. But it caused slippage
Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. Yes that can be frustrating.
Your locks are beautiful 😍
Thank you!
Sis. I absolutely love this length on you. Continue to enjoy the journey ❤
Thank you! I will!
Thanks for sharing. I had my first consultation yesterday. My hair is your texture and length(6 in). I was amped until she put in the text locs. Not what I expected. I'm debating now so I needed this encouragement.
I'm glad the video encouraged you and congrats on your test locs! What was it about your test locs that are causing you to debate?
@@JoyMorrisBeauty they are short and dry. Even when I wet them they don't seem to stay down long .
How long is your hair? Have you thought of maybe waiting until your hair is a little longer to get them done? My hair sticks out a lot too. I think that's common when they are shorter.
@@JoyMorrisBeauty 6-7 inches. If thought of allowing it to grow some but in so indecisive at times. It's now or maybe never

Me too, but with microlocs, like where's the grey coming from!
@@Waridi23 yes! I feel like all of this grey hair was hiding the whole time lol.
@@JoyMorrisBeauty 😂😂😂
You’re beautiful 🥰 thank you for your transparency.
It's no problem at all 😊

Thank you so much! The flat twists are a good idea. I'd love to hear how your first wash and retightening goes!
I know what you mean because this is my second month in the locs
Congratulations on starting your loc journey! Hang in there! It gets better 😊
Can you recommend someone for me to get my sister locks started. I live in Detroit Michigan

Do you know how many locs you have?
Hi! Not yet but I'll be counting once they get a little thicker/longer
During your earlier stages did you have a lot of slippage ?
No I never struggled with slippage. My hair is pretty course. The coursest part of my hair started locking up after about 6 months or so.
