Traditional Locks

Yes, you all know that Almond & Avocado does Sisterlocks (I spend a lot of my time talking about and retightening Sisterlocks!) but did you know that I also do traditional (palm/finger-rolled) locs?

Whether palm rolled or Sisterlocked they are just as fun because at the end of the day people are people and I love my clients!!

Here is a style I did for a lovely client who was preparing for an evening out. Please forgive the poor angles - the stitch software I used ate up half the pics!!!

Hair was flat twisted up into a high pony and then inter-weaved around into a bun - one side was left to cascade down towards her shoulders which added a little pizazz to reduce the 'severity' of the classic bun.

Sisterlocks Installation - Client With Permed Ends

I really enjoyed this installation. "Dree" had such a jovial spirit and had me laughing throughout - what a blast!

You see the open ends in the picture? That's because interlocking methods such as Sisterlocks don't work on smooth hair (like relaxed hair), as we're not using any gels or locking waxes we need to work with the glorious kinky, coily, curly textures atop your head: the kinkier the better!

Dree has 468 locks and has been transitioning for over 9 months. Her hair - including the permed ends- is about 14 inches long. The new growth was about 8 inches.

I love that with Sisterlocks you do not have to cut off your permed ends or Big Chop (BC) before you start your locs. This means that if you love length, you can hold on to it for a little while longer while your new locs are being formed. When they have grown to a length you are happy with you can trim off the relaxed ends.

The Sisterlocks journey is about you - what you are most comfortable with -and if that means transitioning for a little longer then I'm not here to judge you, I'm here to support you and your choices every step of the way. Why not give me a call?

Sisterlocks - Lock Knots

Yes, yes you can have bantu knots/corkscrews/chinee bumps/ with Sisterlocks.

See for yourself.

This took next to no time at all (I did it while retightening) and I used the water based Almocado Loc Dew to help set it but the same style can be achieved with just water or your favourite setting lotion (or nothing at all!) I used a product because I wanted the resulting curls to last for at least a week - and they did.
