What exactly are Sisterlocks?

Seriously, are they just tiny dreds or what? I don't understand why you have to go to a certified person to do them etc. I looked on the website, but I'm still clueless

My sister-in-law recently got them and they do kinda look like really tiny dreads. But her hair is curly so the dreads are sorta in spiral curls. I had to look closely to tell.

Basically two-strand twist that become locked after a period of time.

Sister locks are basically micro sized locs. The reason that you need to go to a certified loctician, is because there is a special tool and technique used to install them, as well as retighten them when your hair grows.

Thanks for the replies, ladies. This had always been a mystery to me, but now I think I get it.

The pics on the website look nice. Seems like a great way to grow your hair long.

Warning: They may or may unlock. The procedure to unlock them can take days and there is no guarantee that the hair will unlock.

They are tiny dreds. Look at them as being permenant. Don't use them as a way to grow hair unless you want to grow locs.

I've seen these before and didn't know what they were called. I just knew I didn't like them .

I think they are more like a crochet that the loctician does on your hair..they use a tool that looks like a crochet needle and loc ut hair that way..looks more like a micro braid too me, more than a mini dred loc...
i think they are really pretty especially long...
and u can style it more like regular hair b/c the loc is so small..
