Important Considerations

Gender Inclusivity: Despite the names "Sisterlocks™" and "Brotherlocks™," both techniques can be installed on any gender. The choice between them typically depends on personal preference for loc size, desired styling options, and hair characteristics rather than gender identity.

Investment in Your Hair: Both techniques require significant time and financial investment upfront but offer long-term benefits in terms of hair health, styling versatility, and maintenance ease. The precision installation process ensures your locs will mature beautifully and last for years with proper care.

Choosing the Right Technique: The decision between Sisterlocks™ and Brotherlocks™ depends on your lifestyle, styling preferences, hair texture, and personal aesthetic goals. During your consultation, we'll help you determine which technique best suits your unique needs and hair characteristics.

Sisterlocks™

Sisterlocks™ is a revolutionary hair locking technique that has transformed the natural hair care industry since its founding in 1993 by Dr. JoAnne Cornwell. This trademarked system uses a specialized grid parting pattern combined with a patented interlocking tool to create precise, uniform locs that work beautifully with your natural hair texture.

What makes Sisterlocks™ truly unique is the meticulous installation process. Using patented tools, certified consultants create small, precisely placed locs through an intricate weaving technique that can take 20-36 hours to complete. Unlike traditional locs that require wax or heavy products on larger sections of hair, Sisterlocks™ are installed product-free on small sections, allowing your hair to breathe and maintain its natural health.

The installation technique starts at the hair ends and moves upward toward the scalp, significantly reducing pulling and tension at the roots. This gentle approach helps prevent breakage and promotes healthy hair growth throughout your loc journey.

Key Benefits of Sisterlocks™:

Versatile Styling Options: Small, uniform locs offer maximum flexibility for updos, braids, and creative styles
All Hair Types Welcome: Works beautifully on fine, medium, and coarse hair textures
No Product Installation: Clean, chemical-free process that maintains hair health
Precision Grid Pattern: Creates a neat, professional appearance from day one
Sizes Available: Choose from traditional small locs or XL Sisterlocks™ for a slightly fuller look
Professional Installation Required: Must be installed by a certified Sisterlocks™ consultant to ensure proper technique

Brotherlocks™

The Brotherlocks™ (for men) technique uses the same fundamental interlocking principles as Sisterlocks™, employing specialized tools rather than palm rolling or two-strand twisting methods. This creates a more uniform, controlled loc formation that maintains consistency throughout the installation and maturation process.

Key Benefits of Brotherlocks™:

Balanced Size: Larger than Sisterlocks™ but smaller than traditional dreadlocks
Low Maintenance: Once established, requires minimal daily care
Professional Results: Best installed by experienced locticians for optimal outcomes
Versatile Styling: Offers good styling flexibility while providing fuller coverage
Clean Installation: Like Sisterlocks™, installed without heavy products or waxes
