Pros and Cons of Sisterlocks

by Natasha Hinds on Dec 13, 2018

Most people are not sure whether to choose traditional or sisterlocks. It is worth noting that sisterlocks are more of a lifestyle than a mere hairstyle. It is important that you understand their pros and cons before you have them and regret later. Let’s first start by looking at their advantages.

Pros

Versatility

Sisterlocks have a certain level of versatility. Sisterlocks are thinner and make your loose hair look fuller. Due to their thinness, sisterlocks can be styled in endless ways. Just be creative and try whichever style you want.

 

Freedom

With sisterlocks, you don’t have to worry about the rain. Most women are scared of rain because it messes up their hair. You can easily wash them even after being rained on. Re-tightening can as well be done monthly so you do not have to keep worrying about going an extra mile to care for your hair. With sisterlocks, you don’t have to keep worrying about hair treatments and such stuff.

 

Natural

You don’t need numerous products to look good. Sisterlocks actually look better when clean and with application of less products. You can stay away from relaxers. You are good to go with organic and natural products.

 

Cost

Sisterlocks are relatively cheap to maintain when compared to most other hairstyles. They require less products and less treatments.

 

Cons

Initial cost

You might spend a lot of money for the first time. you may spend $80 for the first year of retightening and $250 for official retightening.

 

Locticians/consultants

Finding a competent person to guide you on your hair journey is hard. Most people make mistakes during the early stages that cost them a lot later on. Most consultants do not bother to advice you on ways of maintain the health and strength of your sisterlocks.

 

Structured lifestyle

Having the same hairstyle for years or months can be boring at times. You need to take your time and decide whether you can handle such feelings.

    I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn’t get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Doran helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I was skeptical at first but I took the risk to take a loan of $500, and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I received a profit of $5,500 with an investment of $500 within 7 days of trading , the most joy is that I can now take care of my family, i am just sharing my testimony on here. I don’t know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran, God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.

    I love the look of sisterlocks, I also think they look very feminine that would work better for me and my personality. However finding a loctiction that is concerned with overall health of my hair is incredibly key? Some versatility of sisterlocks and keeping style for long time is fine by me. I just want a good foundation and overall healthy beautiful hair. Thanks for your advice.
