How long does my hair have to be to start Sisterlocks?
To start your Sisterlocks journey, you’ll need about one and a half to two inches of new, unprocessed growth. This length is vital as it allows a Sisterlocks Consultant to properly secure your hair into tiny, precise locks.
If your new growth is still processed, the risk of slippage—or unraveling of the locks—increases significantly. This doesn't mean that you have to cut your processed hair. No, not at all. As long as you have one and a half to two inches of new growth you can start your locs journey.
You just need to have at least that amount of natural growth to ensure the locks hold and form a strong foundation.
Allow your hair some time to transition if it hasn’t reached the required length—letting it grow out naturally for a few months will set the stage for a successful installation of Sisterlocks. Keep your length if you are not ready to chop off your ends. It's fine. The goal is for you to enjoy your journey!
