Can I get Sisterlocks if I have relaxed hair?
One of the great things about Sisterlocks is that you don’t have to cut off your relaxer in order to start them. All you need is 1 1/2 inches of new growth at the scalp to start the locks. Then you can trim the relaxed ends gradually over time as your natural locks grow in. There are some things to watch for here though. For example, if you have a relaxer you know that when you let your natural hair grow in at the scalp you increase the chances of breakage. You need to take measures to protect the hair while you’re letting the natural hair grow in. Some options during the transition period are: braided extensions; natural braided styles, frequent moisturizing and conditioning: always dampen the hair before combing through it; gently finger combing for detangling and styling. Once the locks are put in, work closely with your Consultant to ensure that the relaxed ends stay as smooth as possible during your transition into fully natural locks.
