The best gift that I ever gave myself. My Sisterlocks were installed just over 2 years & for the first time in my life I have a real love affair with my hair.
I met her at a natural hair fair in the late 80s or early 90s. I was one of the first ones to get sisterlocks in my area. Black women used to "slide" up behind me in public and try to check my roots.
I got my sisterlocks 11 mos ago and for the 1st time I love my hair. ..I started wearing wigs when I was in the 12th grade I got sisterlocks at 61 years of age this is when I first started seeing them on u tube and fell in love with them......I look at it like this your never to old to love your complete self...thank god I feel good about my natural hair
Thank you Dr. Cornwell. I appreciate you so much for your contribution to change the paradigm for African American women. I have received countless compliments from males and females black and white about my hair and have been able to encourage other African American women to appreciate and embrace the natural texture of their own hair, the freedom they can explore and to not be confused by the American European standard of what is beautiful. I would like to see more tutorials and how to's posted on cutting locks into different hair styles when you have a chance. Thanks again....xoxo
This is awesome. I've been on a journey from wanting white hair in my childhood, then being ashamed of my black heritage at a predominantly white high school, to finally arriving at being natural and finding the worth in myself and my black heritage that I never saw until 7 years ago. I want sisterlocks so bad. I don't want to have to do crazy things to make myself look a way I'm not supposed to look. I want to be me, uniquely and beautifully me, and I'm so happy this was invented. I'm in love.
I just want to start off and say thank you to Dr. Cornwell for all that she has done for the black community. Her story is unique and inspiring. It made me feel more love for myself and it is a joy to see how more black people are embracing their natural hair.
Excellent video. I am so proud to have sisterlocks, white people look at me all the time with a look on their faces that says "her hair is beautiful" Many African American women look with a jealous look, but some compliment and some don't. I look in the mirror at my hair and I give myself absolute affirmations of beauty.
Dr. C: Glad you liked the video. I think it's interesting that you point out that we sometimes get more positive feedback about our hair from people we would LEAST expect it from!
I wouldn't say they like ALL natural hair styles.ha We must remember it wasn't so long ago that you couldn't wear "every" natural hair style in professional settings! How crazy it is to tell someone that the hair that grows out of their own head is unexceptionable???ha And although you tend to get the most resistance from blacks. But honestly, how can you think they would think otherwise with all the "white washing" that they've been exposed to their entire lives? And who do you think put that image in black people's minds in the first place? Just saying...
I'm glad I found out about this, I'm in my thirties and I've been through it all with my hair. The chemical burns from the relaxers the growth just to get dry and break off all the to the gelled down fake pony tails and bundles of Brazilian remy, I'm not saying you're wrong if you like those hair styles they look gorgeous for a while but I'm exhausted.... all of that work for someone else's hair. I'm excited to be getting sisterlocks this month.
I just got my sister locs 8 months ago, I love them, but honestly they cost way to much to do and get retightened. I’ve seen UA-cam review on doing your own micro locs and you would save so much money. I’m going to start retightening my own hair because it’s just too much. But I love that a black Woman started this business it’s not something other races can go out and copy to try and look like us. This is a style for us.
I have had my sisterlocks for four years now and my family and friends are amazed at how much it has grown. I get it tightened up once a month by the same consultant that put them in. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for sharing this video! Sisterlocks have been the best option for me. I create two ponytails using the locks themselves and work out at the gym and keep it moving, This has been the best decision for my hair!
This video gave me a better appreciation of my sisterlocks. The journey, thus far, is 1 year, 4 months and several bouts of doubt until I saw this video and read other sisterlocks' stories. I have experienced many comments, which at times, made me doubt my decision to do sisterlocks, but I am proud of my fast growing, naturally colored red/brown sisterlocks. Kudos to Dr. Cornwell, re: Essence's article. It just reinforced my respect for my decision to do sisterlocks. PROUD SISTER!
Very informative and definitely a celebration of our sisterlocks/ natural hair, it's beauty and versatility. Many people are intrigued by the way I style my hair.
I am even more motivated now to experience this journey. Have my first consult April 19th. When I took a journey back to my roots 6 years ago it was an eye opening experience that catapulted me into a love I had never experienced about myself before. I've been preparing myself for this sisterlock journey and I am ready!
I am seriously considering taking the next step and getting Sisterlocks...Right now I installed mini-twist and will see if I can handle not "combing and playing in my hair". I like the low maintenance, but not the cost. They are a beautiful expression of yet another fascinating aspect of our luxurious hair....
I'm going for it in a yr, I'm natural and had a lot of heat damage from blowing it out. I'm giving myself a yr to fill back in and thicken back up because it became a lil thinner than it was from breakage. I can't wait!
I wanted my hair to be natural, and sisterlocks was my answer to my prayer. I was willing too let a student do it, five days later it was tormenting, but it was good. Praise God! Then the virus lock us up for two and half months. Her teacher said she could fix it, she tried but I got a total mess. Now l just want too cut it off. Maybe one day I will try again.
Why cant we learn this simply with a tutorial? I understand the patent technique but..why keep the ones who cant afford the consultations in this hair crisis?

After getting my sisterlocks, I fell in love with my natural hair and it was the best hair decision that I ever made!
Thank you Dr. Cornwell

At 31 I've just discovered sisterlocks and very excited about getting by my install in two weeks. Love this brand and will happily support it.
Sammy Jo I hope you love your sisterlocks ❤️🙌🏾

I am another university professor who does hair too. Thank you Dr. C!
Yep 👍🏾 it’s the best decision I’ve ever made! Sisterlocks😁

Thanks Dr. C! AWESOME VIDEO...
I love Dr. Cornwell's locks! The reporter described sisterlocks as a reverse braid. I have never heard it described that way before.
Dr. C here. I'm used to finding creative ways of describing Sisterlocks, especially for people who don't have a concept of what our hair can do!
Your hair is beautiful. Where do you get them done?
I am really thinking about this!!!

Sorry Dr. Cornwell!
I'm just over 3 month into my journey, with sister locks , most people love it. I love it.
Yup. I sure love it ❤️ 💕 💗
What a wonderful video, love it!!!!

theapplehairshow It is worth it. I did it and never looked back or regretted it. It was the best thing that I ever did to my hair.
Your hair is beautiful ☺️ I’m so confused between sisterlocs or microlocs they are both beautiful. I can’t wait to start my journey ☺️
This is actually a great idea
Fantastic!
I'm going for it in a yr, I'm natural and had a lot of heat damage from blowing it out. I'm giving myself a yr to fill back in and thicken back up because it became a lil thinner than it was from breakage. I can't wait!
I want the update girl!❤
Peace Sis!!!! If I come to San Diego can you do my hair please? I have been natural for a year and have at least six inches of hair.
I wanted my hair to be natural, and sisterlocks was my answer to my prayer. I was willing too let a student do it, five days later it was tormenting, but it was good. Praise God! Then the virus lock us up for two and half months. Her teacher said she could fix it, she tried but I got a total mess. Now l just want too cut it off. Maybe one day I will try again.
This is beautiful history, so grateful for this video. I wonder what year this was recorded?
Don’t have locs yet getting them soon Love your Locs there absolutely Beautiful even when you first got your locs I loved Them💘
Are you in San Diego omg please do mine Im ready to wear my natural hair
For me I like sisterlocks but I have to ditl locks my hair is too thick for sisterlocks
No way! The thicker your hair the better! I wish I had thick hair!
Please get sister locks if you have already! They look absolutely beautiful on thick 4c hair
Why cant we learn this simply with a tutorial? I understand the patent technique but..why keep the ones who cant afford the consultations in this hair crisis?
Then other folks will try and steal it and claim it like they do for everything we invent. No way with our sister locks.
I have traditional locs.I rather have sisterlocs
