sisterlocks

Tiny interlocked strands

Sisterlocks is a trademarked method of creating small, uniform locks in natural hair, developed specifically for tightly coiled textures.

The technique uses no chemicals or extensions, instead parting hair into a precise grid and interlocking strands with a specialized tool.

The result is hundreds of thin, flexible locks that can be styled like loose hair: She's been growing her sisterlocks for three years now.
