Flexible And Fashionably Current Sisterlocks

By Joseph Olson


Women of African decent from around the world are learning to appreciate their curly tresses. This is due to the increasing popularity of the natural hair movement. Locking the hair, and more specifically using sisterlocks is one of the popular natural hairstyles for women of around the world. The style has grown over time to reflect a growing pride in black ethnicity and culture.

Locking is a long-term hairstyle in which strands of hair are fused together. This style comprises tiny locks created by stylists who weave an intricate design with their clients' hair. Many people prefer them to traditional locks which are created by rolling the hair between the palms of the hands and tend to be bigger.

Such an intricate weaving pattern will naturally take some time to be installed fully. This is why clients who are getting the service should be prepared to spend from one to a few days in the stylist's chair depending on the length and density of the hair being styled. After assessing a client's hair, the stylist usually determines whether the service needs to be broken into parts, in which case the client will make multiple trips to the salon, or it can be done in one setting.

This way of wearing African hair has become popular among many men and women around the world. The male version of the hairstyle is called brotherlocks. Women find it particularly appealing because it can be styled effortlessly and eliminates the need for frequent trips to the salon to get or maintain services such as perms.

It has been styled to suit varying types of contexts and events. When needed, the hair can be styled into a professional look that is appropriate for the work environment. It can also be styled into up-dos, buns and side sweeps among other styles. Lock wearers therefore, fit in in every possible category of event ranging from formal to casual.

Some people get creative by coloring their locks. Colors such as red, gold and purple first took root among lock wearers. Then other colors such as blue and green came on the scene. These colors are added to the ends of the locks in some cases. In other situations they are used from the root to the tip of each lock covering the entire head, or just sections in order to create a desired pattern.

As the hairstyle quickly gained popularity, stylists around the world rushed to get trained in the art of creating these locks. As a result, it is easy to find a stylist who offers the service. You can learn how to install these locks if you wish to do it yourself. For those who are interested in learning about the installation process, tutorials on how to create the style are available.

These micro-sized locks are likely to remain current for many years to come. This hairstyle has been bringing confidence and versatility to curly textured people around the world for decades and the popularity doesn't seem to be fading at all. This is because, with these locks installed wearers can confidently sport a wide range of styles suitable for all settings.
