I love that my sisterlocks look like loose natural hair. That is one of the main reasons I got them. People just don't know. Shrinkage equals health though. Great video!!
Thank you for commenting =) I originally loved that they look like loose natural hair too. Maybe things will change and I'll like the look again lol. We'll see.
Hey Nia! Your pronounciation is right on.
Noir is looking good tonight! Elle est magnifique ! Bonne soirée!
Merci, mon ami! ..... I didn't even look that up on google ! I am determined to learn french before I turn 30. I turned 28 in September, so I have 2 years lol!
Hey Nia! Noir is definitely thriving, and looking healthy and beautiful. I'm hating the fact that the front perimeter of my hair is constantly slipping out and I'm 6 months into my sisterlocks journey. Congrats on the growth of your channel.

Thank you so much! I'm sorry your hair is slipping out :/ . I hope that as they continue to mature, that issue won't persist.
You be having me rolling laughing Nia, I love your content and how you sit down and have a glass of wine with us. I go get my wine 🍷 glass and be like Nia has another new video 😂. I just started my sister lock journey 10/26/20 and I love them
Thank you so much 🤗!!! This comment legit made me so happy ! That's how I envision everyone watching the videos lol! I think I may start doing a few lives, and we can all sip and chat together!
I also a newbie to Sisterloc as of November 1st. I’m excited to start my loc journey. My Sisterlocs are very thin cause I have very thin low density hair. I can’t wait for my locs to get thick and flourish!
Sitting here chuckling to myself cos yesterday I looked at my daughter with her almost 600 microlocks and just wished my hair was as gorgeous as hers. I installed hers myself over 5 weeks. I also do her reties myself. I on the other hand have about the number you seem to be wishing you had (I have exactly 237 microlocks) - too small to be considered traditional locks, but not so small that they can be mistaken for loose hair. I'm chuckling because we can never any of us be 100% satisfied can we?
You installed them yourself ! That is so impressive !!! I can agree with that statement about satisfaction. I know so many people with larger locs who want sisterlocks and vice versa.
I named my hair when i big chopped my relaxer off many years ago. My hair name is Sylvia and everybody knows it too. My stylist thinks its so funny that Sylvia is my hair name. Sylvia is bossy and does only what she wants to do when she wants to do it.
Yasssss I love it! Sylvia sounds spicy !!!
You can do two strand braid gives the looks of traditional locs - like a hair style. The length will come in time.
Thank you! I have tried that style before. I think that look is cute on others, but not myself for some reason lol!
Enjoyed your video! I can relate to all your points even though I have small traditional locs. Maintenance is why I didn’t get micro locs. I have 128 locs that I started with interlocks and I dread retightenings. Yes they are hot! We all have shrinkage not matter the size. With all that, your locs are beautiful and I love mine as well. Oh and I’m 3 years as well. Happy loc journey!
Thanks for sharing ! 128 locs sounds amazing right now lol! I am in the process of retightening right now, and I have like 128 in about 1/4 of my head. I never considered doing my own locs when I decided to go this route, but life happens lol. Thank you for sharing part of your journey with me ! Happy loc journey to you too !!!
Am with you on that! I am just over 3 years and I live in the Caribbean so heat all year round. Also at that age with hot flashes coming into play 😰😰😫😫 However, best thing I ever did! Would never go back..am finally in love with my sister locs after 3 year love hate relationship. Love your locs...love your channel! 🙂
Thank you so much! I LOVE the Caribbean. It’s by far my favorite place to travel. I love your people’s zeal and overall love of life !
Yes! I have traditional locs but they are longer when wet. That’s usually when I take my length check pics 😜. Once they dry they shrink back up. Maybe I should name my locs. I follow a few of you who have done it
Definitely name them! This is going to sound crazy, but I feel more connected to my locs now that Noir has a name lol
You are too funny! I love when I see your new videos at night and can have wine time too. I saw this one in the morning so I'm over here having coffee like 😒 "Thanks for the late notification, UA-cam." Anyway! 5 loc dislikes isn't bad at all. I had approximately one hundred million with my loose natural hair. 🤣 Okay so hear me out though. I scanned the comments and saw people suggesting combining your locs since it would knock out at least 2 of your dislikes. Of course your hair/your choice BUT if you ever did combine, I'd still 100% be a subscriber if your following is any part of your reservations. You don't owe us anything and need to do what's best for you. JUST SAYING. Woo this comment is all over the place. What's in this coffee? 🕵🏾♀️ Happy Friday!!!
Thank you Sis! Pro tip... If you add orange juice to champagne, it would technically be completely acceptable to sip with me in the AM lol! Make it a mimosa and you're good to go lol!
Thank you for this comment! It is nice to know people will still support even if I don't have sisterlocks. My following is not the main reason I haven't combined... I worry about how my parting will look. and what my overall new set of locs would look like. I've seen some people combine sisterlocks, and their hair has to go through a second awkward stage. I don't know if I am about that life. I am afraid if I combine them, I won't like them at all, and I would've waisted all of the money I spent on sisterlocks.
We'll see what happens though. I am still considering it =)
@@Niaimani92 bahahaha you are so right about the OJ - I blew it! Next time. 😂 I definitely understand your concerns about making a decision that could be regrettable since you've invested sooo much time/love in your locs already and nourished a beautiful set to be proud of having. I think if you did combine and were very intentional about it, you could still maintain some degree of your grid to keep the styling options and this weird time we're in could give you more privacy than normal to adjust. I do wonder about the potential weight of heavier locs or loss of volume but, like all things hair-related, I'm sure it really all depends on the individual. No matter your decision, you will continue to be beautiful so I hope you will just follow your intuition and are able to be at peace.
It was the “Biiitch why are you so hot!?!” That took me out. 😂😂😂
Oh Nia you are hilarious tonight 😂. Beutiful as ever 😘 and Noir is gorgeous. Will do anything for locs like Noir x
Thank you so much! I really have fun drinking wine and talking with you all. I think I may start doing lives on Fridays, since I feel like we are all wine sipping friends now lol!
I really appreciate your comment =) It is so kind!
You have a great channel and I love watching your videos. Learning so much from this new journey and your videos help.
I'm so glad! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I am glad I can be a help.
New to your channel. I'm a loose natural who is out here with hair envy. Your hair is so pretty. Looks like locs to me.
Thank you so much!!! They do look like locs for the most part when I am filming, in certain pictures, depending on the angle and my hairstyle they can look like loose natural hair. It's mainly when I wear curly styles =)
I'm almost two months in and I definitely get asked what type of curly cream I use in my hair, because they think they just look like curls. It's definitely something I feel you on, because I go in between being unbothered and being bothered by those comments.
It can definitely become redundant. I believe that maybe as sisterlocks become more popular people will recognize them as locs.
Ma'am....I see NO issues. Keep loving her ;) You have beautiful sisterlocs!
LOL thank you! Despite it all, I do love my locs.
I just love you lol.....yesssss newbies need this info. Imma name mine too
LOL Thank you Sis =)
Thank you for the video!
I disliked how this little patch of my hair cannot maintain the size of locks that I originally wanted (one loc straight up fell out and left a bald spot without warning, but hair grew back, and the other loc just broke off to a little piece). It’s one lock now, and the parting size difference from all the other locks bothers me sometimes when I think about updos, but then I just think, this lock is just ahead of the game. I plan on enjoying my current number of locks for some years, but I’m definitely gonna go larger down the road, and the part size of my off lock seems perfect :)
Same! Right now I am childless, but I cannot see myself with babies and over 400 locs. I think I may combine in 2-3 years. We'll see. Sometimes when people combine locs they go through like a second awkward stage. I don't know if I could go through that again.
Jam Jar is my favorite! Do you have it chilled? That’s how I like. My hair is named Gloria
Yes! I love it chilled! I am actually mentioning it in my fall favorites video, that should be up today or tomorrow.
I pray that my locs look like loose natural hair still after some years. I do hate the shrinkage
The loose natural hair look was definitely a plus for me in the beginning of my loc journey, and I can understand why it appeals to a lot of people!
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 your back and front are on different schedules!
All praise to you for at least persevering - I’m totally useless and have no intention of retightening my locs. Doing it during lockdown led to them being yanked out in frustration, it’s not for me.
I love retightening my daughters sisterlocks, very relaxing and enjoyable but doing my own is torture. I get reties every 4-5 weeks and need all the help I can get.
I wonder if combining would work for you in terms of getting the thickness you want and reducing your self reties?
It is definitely a struggle !!! It takes forever.
What's the lipstick color? It's very pretty.
Also, more to the points you raised, I know two popular UA-camrs who did a beautiful job of combining their Sisterlocks. You might want to search for them and find out how they did it in terms of parting pattern and technique used. Or you could install two strand twists like some have suggested and see how those make you feel. It might cure you of your desire for bigger locks 😄 Or it might help you decide that you want bigger locks for sure. Check out Westafrican baby's latest video of a curl set she did on 210 microtwists; it was GORGEOUS to say the least. Lavenia living life also combined her locks to about 200 or slightly less, so you might want to check her out too. Also Feneti and Rebekah Elaine are two popular youtubers who started with between 200-300 microlocks and have always maintained their locks by themselves. Both have gorgeous heads of hair, though I believe Feneti's are much smaller.
I will definitely check it out! I thought about combining, but I am afraid I will be disappointed with the results.
Your locs are beautiful!
Thank you so much 😊
Your locs are so beautiful
Thank you so much!!!
Microlocs are a nice alternative! They're still small but easier & cheaper to maintain than sisterlocs ( I have about 200 locs & they're pretty small bc I have thin hair)
Thank you for sharing ! I have definitely considered microlocs.
I am with you on the locks being larger. Mine are tiny. Shrinkage is real.. smh.
Shrinkage is so real LOL ! Have you ever considered combining yours.
I definitely think that I’m going through a stage where I don’t really care for them right now maybe just at this moment maybe because they don’t have the volume and stuff yet did you experience that this is definitely a journey and I am being patient but Lord help me😕
I have gone through phases of disliking my locs. I probably disliked them the most around the one year mark. I just wasn't feeling them. They shrunk up, they didn't have volume, and I was unhappy with my hair color.
But how was that wine, girl? So glad it looks like you and Noir will be able to work it out. 🤣
The wine was everything LOL! Me and Noir will work it out, if she learns how to act right lol!
I named my hair Lola after I big chopped but I was thinking of renaming her once I Loc’d it. But my locs still act like Lola so Lola it is lol.
LOL I like Lola! When I was little, I loved Lola Bunny from Space Jam. I named a lot of things Lola back then lol =)
I have micro locs I haven’t counted them yet but I’m thinking like 350 and I couldn’t imagine maintaining my own hair bruh I would cut it off first 😫🤣🤣
It's a pain lol! I never thought I would be maintaining my locs all on my own, but the Rona happened and here we are lol!
Also what is the lipstick you are wearing?
Black Cherry by Revlon =)
@@Niaimani92 that's so crazy! I have the lip color too and it definitely doesn't look like that on me, lol
Beeeeaattchhh 😂😂😂 that's crazy though, I wouldn't have expected them to be hot. You have high density hair?
Yes, I have high density and average sized strands, and let me tell you, this summer was hotter than Satin's dirty laundry ! It was HOT. My locs are really light. They do not feel heavy at all, but they are super hot.
Yes you pronounced it right hahahaha but got to admit I didn't understand it at first and my first language is french hhhh
LOL !!!! Oh my gosh, this comment made me so happy. I want to learn how to speak French sooooooo bad, I obviously have a lot of work to do.
@@Niaimani92 Hahaa french is a beautiful language but it's hard!! Be prepared !
❤️
Thanks boo =)
Oooooh child, you sound like you want to combine. You hair looks lovely but 400+ locs is A LOT, that’s one reason why I didn’t go too small on my diy locs I’m 1 year 19th November & have 185ish. Maybe you could do a video on combining & youtubers that have & methods they used. Would they still be called “sister locs”the & would sister loc community would oust you if they you did combine?!😱 😉 🇬🇧
I’ve seen a few videos like the ones you describe and very few still describe them as sisterlocks because they don’t look like them. I know one UA-camr who does because she says she paid for sisterlocks even though she combined them 😂
LOL I have DEFINITELY considered combining my locs, but many people who combine theirs go through like a second awkward stage while they wait for the combined locs to mature. I don't think I want that life again lol. 185 sounds like a perfect number! I really wish I went with something like that.
If I ever combined mine, I don't think I would call them sisterlocks anymore. I would probably be ousted lol, and that's okay. TBH I think the diy loc community is the most lit anyway TBH LOL! I love Kendra Kensha, and a few other DIY lockers.
LOL
Whether they’re sister, micro, small, medium, large, free form looked after well all locs are beautiful. Growing up locs were frowned upon & mainly Rastafarian guys had them. I’m just glad that we are living in an age where they are celebrated as they should be, our hair is our ”crowning glory” & more people should be proud to wear it as they want. Forums like this help so many women embrace themselves wearing their natural hair whatever way they style it. It’s great ☺️🇬🇧
2 year on my birthday this year! Hope you’re loving your journey so far 💜
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching!

Yasssss !!! Clink Clink LOL =)
