This is so exciting for me to share because I have looked around for months on how to do sisterlocs and boy was it hard. I couldn’t find a video! I guess no one wants to reveal how they do it. But I found a video on youtube from a wonderful lady @CoilsKinksCurls on youtube that is very helpful. Now it isn’t very clear, but if you follow the steps you will understand it. So theses sisterlocs are styled as braidlocs. They are a great alternative to the traditional palm roll. You start this process with basic box braids. Then you leave them alone and they will lock on their own. Here is part one of the video.

After the new growth comes in you retighten them by latching them. In this video CoilsKinksCurls will demonstrate how to retighten them. Now, what is so great about these braidlocs are that they will lock just like any other lock and will look like sisterlocs once they are matured. And I think this approach is much better because they don’t unravel and you can wash them as often as you need to without having to re-twist. I have a daughter and this will be awesome to do because it’s low maintenance for her very active lifestyle. And I think if you have are older and you go to the gym often, this will work for you too!

I was searching on the web deciding on another blog to post. I had a different idea in mind but I changed it when I came across this very cute picture of Leela James. At first I thought this was a picture of a new Barbie doll, but then I looked again and it was a perfect picture of Leela with a new hair color with honey highlights. This R&B singer is always easy to spot out. I remember when she first came out and she had this really large blow out. I thought she was just adding some attention to herself but turned out that she never considered a perm and that she really enjoys her hair the way it is. When it is not in a fro Leela says it is either styled in cornrows, braids or twist. Those are my favorite hairstyles too. Her favorite hair care product lines are Carol’s Daughter and Dr. Miracle. And when she isn’t doing her hair she is singing. Leela is set for release of her new album My Soul dropping on May 25, 2010S.
