Will sisterlocks cause my hair to thin or break?
On One Hand: Sisterlocks Are Not For Dreaded HairIf you already have dreadlocks and want to put Sisterlocks in your hair, the locks are likely to unravel, and this makes the hair more prone to breakage. The hair is sectioned in a certain pattern for Sisterlocks, and the sections will likely be smaller or in a different formation than the sections for hair that has already been “locked.”On the Other: Sisterlocks are a Great ‘Transition’ StyleIf you want to grow dreadlocks but don’t want to cut all of your hair off and start from scratch, Sisterlocks are a great option. The process won’t cause the hair to break or thin, since no harsh chemicals or excessive pulling on the hair are required for the process.Bottom LineSisterlocks will not cause hair thinning or breakage for women that are looking to start dreads from natural or relaxed hair.
